ValsTech is a private Canadian corporation founded in 2012 by underwater camera housing pioneer Valentins (Val) Ranetkins. In 1978, Val founded Aqua Vision Systems Inc., where he developed the revolutionary underwater housing known as the “Aquatica.” This breakthrough in housing technology became the underwater workhorse for National Geographic Magazine, as well as the preferred tool for many renowned underwater photographers. In 1988, Val started Amphibico, and over the next 10 years developed and manufactured several ground-breaking underwater video products including the “Amphibicam” housing for the Sony F900 HDCAM series. During this time, he also designed and introduced innovative award winning features like electronic camera controls, underwater push buttons, interchangeable optics, unique housing latches, underwater microphones & hydrophones, and foolproof underwater sealing systems. Val and his team bring more than 80 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of housings to ValsTech. This experience and know-how is being applied to the creation of unique underwater housings, which enable many of the iPhones to produce outstanding quality images, both underwater and in aquatic environments.
The LenzO is an amazing gift for anyone who loves taking pictures from their iPhones, for anyone who loves photography in general, and for anyone who loves taking underwater photos. It's a great gift that will be cherished and used for many years.
The LenzO for iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus boasts a host of features, including a dome lens designed to provide an optically precise camera view underwater with no soft corners or distortion, built-in color correction filters, a depth rating of 100 meters (330 ft), and ergonomic controls to access all native smartphone camera functions, without the need to install custom apps. “People are amazed when they discover operating the LenzO is just as easy as operating their iPhone," says Anthony Lenzo, Executive Vice-President. The housing is also buoyant (to avoid the loss of the product) and each one is individually tested to guarantee the protection of the smartphone. Targeted towards the SCUBA community, boaters, sailors, and outdoor enthusiasts, the LenzO provides the perfect solution for both consumer and professional users who are looking to take their smartphone with them in, around, and under the water. “More than 80 years of experience goes into every LenzO housing. When you pick up a LenzO you can feel the difference this experience makes," says Valentins “Val” Ranetkins, ValsTech founder and CEO. ValsTech has a collaboration with Jean-Michel Cousteau and the Ocean Futures Society. As part of this collaboration, some proceeds from the sales of their blue Ocean Futures Society housing goes towards the foundation’s conservation efforts.
