A5D Underwater Housing for Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Samy's Camera — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:00:00 GMT

The Aquatica A5D Mk III housing still benefits from the finest material available in the industry. Carefully crafted from a selected alloy of aircraft grade aluminum and premium grade of stainless steel, the Aquatica A5D Underwater Housing for Canon EOS 5D Mark III is machined on the latest 5 axis computer assisted machines. it is then protected by anodizing to North American military specification for further protection, Aquatica provides corrosion inhibiting zinc anodes as standard equipment and coats their housing with a baked on, tough as nail, powder coating. This extra level of protection does make a huge difference as can be seen on some Aquatica housings that even with over 1,500 dive on them, still look as fresh as the day they came out of the box. This housing is made for the hard working professional in mind, one who truly understands reliability in the field.

We introduced on this housing a newly designed camera tray; it smoothly and precisely positions the camera in the housing and is easily disengaged by a simple push on a tab. The zoom actuating pinion gear and the lens release lever pull out to allow the user to remove the camera from the back while keeping a lens and zoom gear attached.

Additional bulkheads pass through access holes have been added (bringing the total to three) to allow uses of potential accessories such a external monitor, triggering device and/or sound recording accessories. Given the immense impact its predecessor, the Aquatica 5D Mk II, had on the underwater video industry, it was deemed absolutely important that this new housing be optimized even more for this task, all video controls where redesigned for easier reach and smoother operation, without sacrificing nothing to the still image side of the housing operation.

The AF-ON & star button access is now provided with a rotating collar that prevents ambient pressure from pushing it back toward the housing. Menus buttons have been angled to provide better access from your left hand. A new gear system with a smaller housing pinion gear and larger lens gear results in smoother action while zooming in a video sequence.

The A5D Mk III housing was made as small as a it could be, nevertheless its lightness in weight should not be taken for a weakness. This housing still has the same standard 90m/300ft depth rating and can still be upgraded to 130m/425ft. Its knurled knobs and oversized controls mean easy operation no matter what the situation is. Being built in Canada means that every Aquatica housing is born and bred in one of the world most rugged diving environment. Bottom line, if it works in our local conditions, it will work everywhere else!

Handling is still via molded grips, they have been the reference in comfort for the last 25 years. Theses lightweight yet sturdy grip handles are made of one piece and cannot come unglued, fall apart or corrode. Both grips are provided with mounting holes ready to accept the most current strobes and their supporting arms. The housing has an extra mounting point for a focus/video light or other accessories on top and 3 additional mounting points are provided under for various brackets, support or tripods.

Bulkhead strobe connectors have also evolved, with six active pins bulkhead giving access to TTL flash exposure via currently available third party TTL converters. They are now user serviceable and replacing them is done quickly without requiring the need for any special tool, in a matter of minutes. Again, these improvements were implemented with the working professional in mind, reliability and user’s friendly field maintenance being the key word here.

On the right is a view of the office end on the new Aquatica A5D Mk III, clearly showing the serious nature of this housing. On the left hand, the buttons and mode selector control are angled and positioned for quicker access to the various functions. On the right hand the record button has been relocated closer to your thumb and not only has it been oversized but is now clearly identified with a bright red coating. The Live View toggle remains within easy reach and the SET button has also been oversized. The multi controller pad found on the Canon 5D Mk III is now made accessible. All push buttons are of high quality Type 304 stainless steel, the same used in the aerospace industry; these will not break or rust. Their smooth operation and position gives the photographer a very intuitive and normal feel to the housing.

The Aquatica A5D Mk III is supplied with our Galileo type eye piece. This high quality and coated optical finder gives a bright and full view of the view finder. For those seeking the ultimate in viewing for still image, the optional Aqua View Finder, available in straight and 45 degrees version, are among the best of the industry, they can easily be installed in a matter of a few minutes by the user. The enlarged and enhanced image provided by the Aqua View Finder is second to none in clarity, It provides the photographer with tack sharp corner to corner viewing of the camera view finder for composing and critical focusing.

Shown to your left and ready to go to work, is the Aquatica A5D Mk III with the 9.25” Megadome, state-of-the-art BK-7 coated glass dome, it is attached to our unique extension ring with manual focus capability, this extension is available for both the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Type II and the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, Two serious candidates for the video shooter and for which manual focus access is vital, manual focusing with prime lens focusing can be done using the controls knob on the upper left side of the housing.

The A5D Mk III is supported by one of the most established and comprehensive port and accessories system of the industry. The Canon 5D Mk III is destined, much like its predecessor, the 5D Mk II, for a life of multi tasking role. This previous A5D Mk II is still being used by many of the major television underwater documentary production; it has been embraced by scores of top image makers in the world whose work can be seen weekly on network television, advertising work and movie productions.

This philosophy that made the Canon 5D Mk II and its Aquatica housing so popular has not been lost on this newer version! Every effort was made to give you an underwater imaging system that can be tailored to your needs.

The recommended servicing procedures of the products are outlined in the manuals supplied with the product. The outside of the housings and the accessories should be rinsed in fresh water after every dive. The handles should be removed after use otherwise if they remain attached to the housing for any length of time they may bind to the housing and be extremely difficult to remove. We suggest that the main O rings be lubricated regularly and all of the O rings be checked annually.

AD4 Underwater DSLR Housing for Nikon D4

Samy's Camera — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:00:00 GMT

The Aquatica AD4 Underwater DSLR Housing for Nikon D4 is designed exclusively for Nikon’s flagship D4 camera, a professional imaging tool with equally impressive still and video capabilities. With customized controls, next-generation lens gear system and uncompromised viewing, Aquatica’s new AD4 housing puts the D4’s power into the hands of photographers shooting in the world’s most demanding underwater environments.

Aquatica has designed the ultimate housing for the D4, combining highly evolved ergonomics with features customized for Nikon’s most advanced SLR. Aquatica was the first to offer access to the Fn and Pv controls. This is done via a unique toggle lever that accesses the two buttons and gives the photographer control over such things as the power aperture (Close + Open), index marking in video mode and also allows easy viewing of photo shooting information.

The AD4 is also optimized for video shooting, to take advantage of the D4’s broadcast quality 1080p HD video functions. All video controls are designed for easy reach and smooth operation through the housing. This includes a next-generation lens gear system with a smaller housing pinion gear and a larger lens gear for smoother action while zooming in a video sequence. A newly designed camera tray delivers smooth and precise positioning of the camera in the housing and allows the user to insert and remove the camera using a simple push tab. The zoom actuating pinion gear and the lens release lever also pull out so the camera can be removed from the back while keeping a lens and zoom gear attached.

Left-hand control buttons are angled and positioned for faster access to the various functions and a quick lever was added for the important ISO access. On the right hand the Live View lever has been relocated closer to your thumb. The multi-controller pad found on the Nikon D4 is made accessible with a simple and proven design and its SET button has been oversized. All push buttons are of high quality Type 304 stainless steel and operate smoothly for a natural feel and intuitive operation.

Three bulkhead access holes are provided to accept multiple external accessories such as our remote trigger (# 19304), Water Wizard (# 15500) external radio transceiver housing, external monitors and/or other accessories. Aquatica also boasts the most comprehensive selection of easily interchangeable strobe connectors in the industry. The 20069-NK includes two of the classic 5-pin Nikonos connectors and the 20069-KT is supplied with a time proven 5-pin Ikelite connector. Both versions are ready to accept currently available TTL converters. Aquatica standard strobe connectors are also field replaceable without the need for specialized tools.

Aquatica’s more than 30 years of expertise have helped craft the AD4’s ergonomic design. It’s a design strongly influenced by professional image makers from around the world who work and consult with us. The result is an unparalleled attention to detail and expertly crafted solutions. The Aquatica AD4 features our own exceptional Galileo-type eye piece. This high quality and coated optical finder gives a bright and full view of the viewfinder. For those who need the ultimate in still image viewing, the optional Aqua View delivers second-to-none clarity; it provides the photographer with tack sharp corner to corner viewing for composing and critical focusing.

The AD4 also retains our trademark moulded hand grips, the industry standard of comfort for the last 25 years. They are lightweight, and made of one piece so they never come unglued or corrode. Both grips have mounting holes ready to accept the popular mounting bracket of our TLC system and are compatible with most current strobes and lighting arms on the market. An extra mounting point for a focus/video light or other accessories is included on top of the housing and three additional mounting points are provided under the housing for various brackets, supports or tripods. Of course, the AD4 housing is an integral part of one of the most established and comprehensive port and accessories system of the industry. Aquatica’s port system has been a stable platform for more than 20 years and remains one of the most reliable and popular designs on the market.

The durability of Aquatica housings is legendary. The lightweight AD4 benefits from the finest material available in the metallurgic industry and is carefully crafted from a selected alloy of aircraft-grade aluminum. This housing still has the same standard 90m/300ft depth rating and can be upgraded to a 130m/425ft depth rating. Its knurled knobs and oversized controls mean easy operation in all conditions. Every Aquatica housing is machined on the latest five-axis computer assisted machines. It then undergoes a protective anodizing process to the stringent North American Military Specifications. A baked on powder coating paint is then applied for a tough-as-nails exterior. Additional protection comes from corrosion inhibiting zinc anodes, provided standard with all of our housings. This additional level of protection is highly effective, as can be seen on some housing with more than 1,500 dives on them that still look as fresh as the day they came out of the box.

Features:

Toggle access to Fn and Pv buttons
Smooth operation of all video controls
New lens gear system for improved video zooming
New camera tray works with a simple push tab
New left-hand quick lever for ISO access
Strobe connectors easily replaced in the field
Unparalleled durability and corrosion protection

Underwater Housing for Pro DSLR Cameras

Samy's Camera — Sun, 06 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Opening up a whole new dimension of professional photography with the Ewa Marine Underwater Housing for Pro DSLR Cameras is a derivative of the popular Ewa-Marine U-BF and was specially designed with the professional photographer and his digital SLR (like the Canon EOS 1D, the Nikon D3, the Sony Alpha 900 or the Leica S) in mind. In contrast to the U-BF, The U-BFZ allows the use of longer lenses. The U-BFZ100 accepts camera / lens combinations up to 23 cm / 9 inch in total length-

The big difference between the U-BFZ100 and other housings in the U-B.. Series is the fact that in addition to the little finger inserts to operate the shutter release with the right forefinger, the U-BFZ comes with a "glove" integrated into the housing. This glove is designed for the left hand of the user and allows him to cradle the camera and lens in his left hand the way he would if using the camera without the housing. Having his hand on the lens then allows him to operate the camera and lens manually and access all the details to allow him to make the photo with the exact settings he desires.

It's easy to operate as the camera as its various components and buttons can be operated through the PVC. This is the housing that is ideal for fashion photography in or near a pool or from the surf, sports photography, as well as nature and artistic photography just around the water surface or in areas where the camera or environment has to be protected from chemical or biological contamination. Naturally and although it is still an option, as the photographer will have both hand fixed onto the housing, the housing isn't really predestined for diving.

Please note: In this housing is shipped with a adapter system to connect the camera's lens to the front port housing. To facilitate the majority of lenses, this adapter has a 82mm filter thread. To facilitate the use of smaller lenses, a RA77-82 filter adapter is also included in the housing. Alternatively a 77mm adapter is available as an optional accessory. Should you want to use smaller diameter lenses, please purchase a filter adapter to fit this lens to the 77mm or 82mm Ewa-Marine adapter from your local dealer?

With this housing, a whole new world of applications opens up for your professional digital SLR camera. Naturally, smaller cameras, with or without an additional battery pack can also be used in the U-BF100. The housing is rated to be used to a dive depth of 10 m / 30 ft. The U-BFZ100 housing is manufactured from double laminated PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass port. It has a pair of non-corrosive and seawater resistant clamping rails which fit together for perfect sealing. They tighten by means of three screw knobs. It is supplied in a handy yellow carry-case which has a water-proof interior.

Note: All lenses used with this housing must have an internal focus!

Features:

Construction: Depth rating of 32.8' (10 m) makes housing suitable for relatively shallow diving or shooting at or near surface level, as well as shooting around the water where you may only get splashed. Buoyancy is positive, unless you use optional weight BF1 or another comparable weight (not included), in which case it will be negative. Built-in, optically neutral flat glass port. Constructed from durable, double-laminated PVC. A pair of clamping rails fit together and can be tightened via 3 screw knobs to give the housing a tight, waterproof seal. These rails are seawater-resistant to ward off corrosion
Controls: What differentiates the U-BFZ100 from other UB-series housings is that it has not only the finger insert for operating the camera's shutter release with your right forefinger, but also an integrated glove designed for left-handed use. The glove lets you cradle the camera and lens just as you would if it were not in the housing, which is highly conducive to manual operation for getting the precise settings desired. Housing permits easy access to all camera controls
Compatibility: Derivative of Ewa-Marine's U-BF housing, it was designed especially for the pro range of DSLR's, such as the Canon EOS 1D, the Nikon D3, the Sony Alpha 900 or the Leica S, and allows for the use of longer lenses than the U-BF. Compatible with camera / lens combinations up to 9.1" (23 cm) in length, and can accommodate cameras smaller than the pro size, either with or without an additional battery pack. Comes with the CA-82 adapter to connect the camera's lens to the flat front port. The adapter features an 82mm filter thread. An RA77-82 step-up ring / filter adapter is also included, enabling you to utilize smaller 77mm diameter lenses. Simply screw the RA77-82 and CA-82 together. An optional CA-77 adapter (not included) is also available for 77mm lenses, and gets fitted to the housing's front port, like the CA-82. For lenses of a smaller diameter than 77mm, you'll need to purchase a separate filter adapter to attach the lenses to the 77mm or 82mm Ewa-Marine adapter. All lenses must have internal focusing in order to be used in this housing
Included Case: A convenient yellow carrying case with a waterproof interior is supplied with the housing

Underwater Housing For Nikon D600

Samy's Camera — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMT

This new Nauticam Underwater Housing For Nikon D600 sports many of the cutting edge features Nauticam introduced on the NA-D4 and NA-D800 in a smaller, lighter, and less expensive package. The award winning ergonomics of previous housings have been retained with subtle refinements and D600 specific details engineered for maximum performance in the undersea environment.

Once again, Nauticam has led the underwater photography industry by being the first to deliver a fully refined housing for the Nikon D600. Nikon designed the D600 to appeal to every enthusiast or pro who longed for a compact, friendly and affordable full frame camera. Nauticam has engineered the NA-D600 housing so that it is equally friendly and compact, but has every ounce of rugged reliability and features that pros demand. Holding the nicely proportioned NA-D600 by the comfortable rubberized grips; it seems impossible that a 24mp full frame camera resides inside that is capable of out-resolving every camera in it’s class save its bigger brother: the D800.

With every new housing it engineers, Nauticam continues to improve on what is already the most ergonomic control layout in the industry. Building on this tradition, the NA-D600 incorporates dual paddle assemblies for right and left thumb. These paddles instantly access key features: Video Record and AE-L/AF-L on the right and Playback and ISO on the left. Most photographers will quickly activate them by feel while never releasing grip or looking away from the viewfinder. The housing is also clearly designed to embrace both the still and video shooter and switching back and forth is intuitive and near seamless with the live view (LV) button and live view selector.

Nauticam has pioneered a new release (drive) mode control utilizing the D600’s ability to lock shooting modes. This control functions independent of the exposure mode dial that it sits beneath on the camera body. Being able to shift into the D600’s quiet mode (much quieter than the D800/D4) and lock it could be a real boon for pelagic shooters close to shy subjects. Front and rear command dials are larger and easier to engage than ever before — even with gloves.

Every aspect of the NA-D600 housing has evolved to get photographers off the boat and into the water faster and easier than ever before. For great photography, a diver’s time should be spent taking pictures, not struggling with controls before or during the dive. Camera installation has never been easier, with almost no preparation required. The patented lever actuated port lock is the standard by which others are measured. The award winning housing latches are tool free and require no excessive strength. Viewfinder exchanges require seconds, not minutes. Most functions are accessed while never releasing grip on the handles. But Nauticam’s virtuosity does end on the design table — every housing model must prove itself in the most rigorous environments on earth. The NA-D600 will perform with the same ease and elegance at 100 meters in the Bering Sea as fashion shoot in a 4 meter pool.

Nauticam has pioneered numerous engineering breakthroughs in previous housings that have been integrated into NA-D600. The Locking Latch System has received acclaim worldwide for its ease and functionality. These recessed latches are equipped with safety locks to eliminate accidental opening, yet require minimal hands strength to operate, and they will not pinch fingers like stainless steel buckles can.

Port changes have never been simpler than utilizing the Patented Nauticam Locking Port Release. No wrestling, no twisting, no misalignment — just seat and lock. Lens changes are also easily accomplished without removing the camera from the housing via the lens release button logically accessed on the housing front. The lightweight, rugged Nauticam handles are generously contoured with a durable over-mold process of comfortable non-slip soft touch rubber. Virtually any hand size can be accommodated with spacers available for cold-water glove use.

All Nauticam housings are machined from a solid block of seawater resistant aluminum alloy and then hard anodized making them impervious to corrosion. Hardware is marine grade stainless steel. Clear acrylic windows are protected with a scratch resistant coating.

FEATURES:

Patented Locking Port Release Lever
Sensitive Two Stage Shutter Release Lever
Optical Strobe Connectors
Rubberized Ergonomic Grips
1 Customizable Accessory Ports (allowing use of optional Nikonos, S6, or Ikelite Strobe Connectors, Hydrophone, Video Out, or Remote Control Connectors)

NA-5DMKIII Housing for Canon EOS 5D Mark III Camera

Samy's Camera — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMT

Canon 5D Mark III improves upon the ground breaking 5D Mark II in every way. This camera shares the fast 61 point autofocus system from Canon’s flagship 1Dx, a 22 megapixel imager with class leading low light performance, 6 frames per second continuous shooting, and a more intuitive control layout. Rather than an upgraded Canon 5D Mark II, this camera could be more appropriately viewed as a full frame Canon 7D with its enhancements to ergonomics, focus accuracy and speed, and continuous shooting ability.

Canon 5D Mark II was a remarkable advancement in video production, providing a cinematic look and feel with outstanding low light performance that has been used in feature films, low budget documentaries, and enthusiast videography. 5D Mark III improves this feature set substantially with new video features, including an ALL-I compression that requires less computing power to edit and more color correction latitude.

The Nauticam NA-5DMKIII Housing for Canon EOS 5D Mark III Camera is custom built underwater housing for Canon 5D Mark III and is a refinement of the acclaimed design used in NA-7D for Canon 7D. Nauticam took Canon SLR housing ergonomics to another level with relocated command dials and piano keys found on NA-7D, and has built upon these advancements with NA-5DMKIII.

The industry leading engineering of the existing Nauticam housings is obvious with the easy and secure locking latch system, unrivalled port lock lever, piano keys that relocate key controls for easy handle access, and the exceptional interchangeable viewfinders.

Imaging Prowess at Your Fingertips: Designed by photographers for those who demand the best, the NA-5DMKIII puts the controls that matter where they can easily be used. Gripping the comfortable rubberized handles, it is obvious you are in command of a professional tool. While never releasing grip, the right forefinger activates Nauticam’s patented two stage shutter release. The gearing in this control allows the photographer to precisely feel the half and full press positions of the shutter release for exact focus control.

Large diameter knurled wheels control the Main Dial and Quick Control Dials. These dials are simple to operate with a single finger, and their large size and tactile feel allows easier operation while wearing cold water gloves. These key controls change f-stop and shutter speed, and are also an easy way to scroll through camera menus.

The right thumb can quickly activate a new double paddle lever assembly that operates both AF-On and Movie Record. AF-On is an essential control, used to activate focus by default, but reassignable for focus and exposure lock. The ergonomic placement of movie record is important, allowing clips to be started and stopped while minimizing camera movement. The 5D Mark III Live View/Movie Switch is placed at the right thumb, allowing quick changes between shooting modes. A lever accessing ISO is also located for fingertip control at the right thumb. ISO is exceptionally important when shooting movie clips with a digital SLR as the primary exposure control, and easy access allows quick exposure changes.

Acclaimed piano key controls on the housing back route Set and Quick Control to the handles, providing convenient access for quick function changes via the Quick Control Menu. Focus Point Selector is a gentle reach from the right handle, allowing easy movement between the 61 autofocus points (five of which are a new double cross type, and 41 of which are cross type sensors). The camera’s multi-controller joystick is activated via a multi-controller pad that allows diagonal movement in addition to the more common up / down / left / right functions. At the left handle, playback is easily reached by the left thumb. A fingertip zoom / focus control allows easy operation of zoom lenses or manual focus with accessory lens gears.

Of course, all the requisite function buttons are appropriately positioned around the easily viewed LCD window and will function with exacting precision at any depth up to 100 meters. All of these ergonomic refinements are in pursuit of one goal: The most ergonomic underwater imaging system possible. Nauticam NA-5DMKIII allows the camera operator to access all key camera controls with their hands on the handles, and their eye on the viewfinder or external video monitor. In addition to carefully considering control placement for the ultimate in ease of operation in water, Nauticam has also put considerable effort into features that allow easier camera loading. No controls require pre-setting before installing a camera into the housing, eliminating the possibility of wasted dives to do incorrect camera installation.

FEATURES:

Patented Locking Port Release Lever
Sensitive Two Stage Shutter Release Lever
Optical Strobe Connectors
Rubberized Ergonomic Grips
2 Customizable Accessory Ports (allowing use of optional Nikonos, S6, or Ikelite Strobe Connectors, Hydrophone, Video Out, or Remote Control Connectors)

NA-D800 Housing for Nikon D800 Camera

Samy's Camera — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:00:00 GMT

As the international leader in innovative underwater housing technology, Nauticam is pleased to announce the latest release in its acclaimed line of precision crafted camera housings. The NA-D800 breaks new ground in ergonomic functions, extensive control options and ease of operation while upholding the robust quality standards that have become a hallmark of the Nauticam brand.

There are numerous significant advancements on this housing creating what should prove to be one of the most powerful systems to ever go beneath the surface. Equally remarkable is the design, engineering and manufacturing team at Nauticam who have managed to enter production of this exceptional housing less than six weeks from the delivery of the first camera bodies. Only with the immense technical and intellectual resources at the Nauticam facilities could such an achievement be possible and everyone at Nauticam takes great pride in this significant accomplishment.

Few cameras have been as broadly anticipated as Nikon’s new D800 entry into the full frame (FX) DSLR camera line up. The 36.3 megapixel CMOS sensor is currently the highest resolution available in any 35mm format and the rest of the camera specs are accordingly impressive. 30/24 FPS 1080p video, 51-point auto focus, 91,000 pixel metering system and a more refined tool suite are welcome improvements. DxOMark recently awarded the D800 the highest scores of any sensor that they have tested, even besting more expensive medium format offerings. This new Nikon should prove to be an excellent choice for professionals and serious enthusiasts who can take advantage of the camera’s exceptional resolving power.

The Nauticam NA-D800 is an evolutionary marvel of everything Nauticam users have come to appreciate from the brand with several revolutionary new features added. The industry leading innovations of recent Nauticam housings are obvious with the easy and secure latching system, unrivaled port locking lever system and the superb interchangeable viewfinders. The award winning ergonomics of previous housings have been retained with subtle refinements wherever appropriate. The NA-D800 supports both the Nikon D800 and D800E cameras.

Features:

Creative Potential at Your Fingertips - Designed by photographers for photographers, the NA-D800 puts the controls that matter where they can readily be used. Gripping the familiar rubberized handles is now more akin to a Formula One race car wheel with a panoply of tools a finger or thumb tip away. While never releasing grip, the right forefinger activates Nauticam’s patented two stage shutter release and a newly designed control for the sub-command dial with more precise refinement. The right thumb can quickly activate a new double paddle lever assembly engaging the record function on top and the AF-ON feature on the bottom lever.
Unlocking the D800’s Power - In an impressive engineering breakthrough, Nauticam has patents pending on a new Multi Controller Pad located within easy reach of the right thumb. The device virtually recreates the Nikon multi selector on the back of the NA-D800 housing allowing full multidirectional use of this powerful tool. Amazingly, all 51 focus points can now be reached by a direct approach – even on a diagonal. All of the other scroll and select functions are equally enhanced without ever having to move from one button to another in the traditional fashion.
The Best Standard Features in the Business - Nauticam pioneered numerous engineering breakthroughs in previous housings that now come standard on the NA-D800. The patented housing Locking Latch System has received acclaim worldwide for its ease and functionality. These recessed latches are equipped with safety locks, reduce bulk and require minimal physical effort to engage and release. Port changes have never been simpler than utilizing the Patented Nauticam Locking Port Release. No wrestling, no twisting, no misalignment - just seat and lock.
Precision Takes Vision - A super high resolution camera like the Nikon D800 demands perfect focus for optimal results. Fortunately, Nauticam has developed the most user-friendly interchangeable precision viewfinders in the world. The standard optical glass viewfinder is very good and travel friendly, but many photographers prefer the ease of a magnified viewfinder with adjustable diopter. Nauticam produces a “straight” 180 enlarging viewfinder and a 45 angled enlarging viewfinder to enhance the ease of close quarters work often associated with macro shooting. Both viewfinders have high quality optics allow viewing of the entire image.
Nauticam Enlightenment - Lighting control is key to any successful underwater photography system. All Nauticam housings are fiber optic ready with two secure threaded FO synch connectors. The Nauticam system fiber optic cables are compatible with Inon S-TTL and Sea & Sea DS-TTL and provide excellent results with a number of these manufacturer’s strobes with no electrical connections to flood. For those desiring an electrical Nikonos, S-6 or Ikelite style synch port, a Nauticam bulkhead is available that can easily be installed or removed in the field.
Accessories to Achieve Imaging Excellence - Nauticam has the most extensive line of high quality optical ports available anywhere and any existing Nauticam DSLR ports will fit the NA-D800. This port line-up includes the award winning Nauticam White Balance Dome Port with a patented built-in white balance iris that makes in-water white balancing a breeze. Nauticam also provides the industry’s only locking extension rings in every size potentially required, thus preventing port slippage of any kind when using extension rings. Nauticam additionally offers a full range of port adapters allowing existing housing owners to use their current ports, reducing the cost of switching to a Nauticam housing.
The Ultimate Video Package - If the substantial video capabilities of the D800 are of primary importance, Nauticam’s NA-DP4 housing for the Small HD Monitor can take video performance to another level. The monitor housing easily mounts to the top of the NA-D800 and utilizes the optional HDMI Bulkhead for true HDMI connectivity. Utilizing DP4 features like Focus Peaking, Focus Assist, False Color, 1:1 Mapping and more, this larger monitor vastly improves composition, focus capability and exposure.

A standard NX flat port for macro photography is included. The port lock system prevents an attached port from loosening while in use. Use an optional TTL converter for TTL flash control with the wired-for-TTL 5-pin connector or use the 2-pin connector for manual strobe control.

The single is a compact slave strobe that can be used for wide-angle or macro photography.
