The  HID lighting has never been used and is still brand new.  The remote monitor was purchased separately new and still is brand new it is being sold separately.  (does not come with package)  Since it has been discontinued and is impossible to find new I would be willing to sell it with package for extra $1600.00.  All of this is a great opportunity for someone that wants new equipment at an unbeatable price.  Good Luck. Bluefin FX1 Overview Light & Motion’s professional underwater housing system for the Sony High Definition HDR-FX1 and HVR-Z1U camcorders has an unrivaled reliability record for a housing of its kind. With a less than 2% warranty servicing rate, you can depend on this housing to take great video’s wherever you are. Features Convenient Fingertip Controls where YOU want them, not where the camera dictates. Manual controls are difficult to reach and confusing to find.

Top Viewing Window provides a clear view of the camera’s monitor for composition and zebra striping for perfect exposure. Internal Adjustable Ballast System trims housing for custom buoyancy.

Light and Motion Remote Monitor Despite being the industry's finest remote-control video monitor, the L&M Remote Monitor is no longer being manufactured (WHY, oh WHY, L&M??). The remote monitor mounts atop your housing and offers fingertip control of all camera functions, as if you were at the housing itself: zoom, start stop, manual focus, lights, etc. An amazing accessory.  The remote monitor will connect to any Light and Motion housing with a compatible monitor port.  REMEMBER...you cannot buy this new anymore...the only ones available are those being parted with by their owners. They will only get harder to find, and more precious. Place a Bid!
