Nauticam ready to ship two new housings

Published

on

Nauticam have announced the release of two new housings for the Fujifilm X-T5 and Canon EOS R6 Mark II cameras

The Nauticam NA-XT5 Housing

Nauticam has supported all the previous X-T cameras and continues to create innovative and ultra-functional housings for this line with the NA-XT5 underwater housing.  The NA-XT5 features DSLR-style housing and port lock mechanisms as well as integrated ergonomic handles. The housing is designed with our Mission Control concept of placing the most important camera controls as close to the handles as possible to facilitate effortless and quick camera operation to ensure you don’t miss the shot.

The NA-XT5 features thumb levers near both handles, with the left thumb lever actuating the playback function and the right thumb lever the AF-ON control. The housing includes two M14 and one M24 bulkhead openings to accommodate a variety of accessories.

The NA-XT5 uses the N100 Port System shared with the Fujifilm XH1, XT3 and XT4 system. A selection of port options are available for a variety of lenses.

NA-XT5 Details:

  • Model Number: 17159
  • USD Retail Price: $3163
  • Euro Retail Price: €3,014 (inc. VAT)
  • GPB Retail Price: £2,605 (inc. VAT)
  • AUD Retail Price: $4,588 (inc. GST)
  • HKD Retail Price: $20,499
  • Port Opening: N100
  • Depth Rating: 100m

The Nauticam NA-R6II Housing

The NA-R6II underwater housing follows suit with Nauticam’s drive for innovation and it supports both the Canon EOS R6 and R6 Mark II.  A conversion kit is required for the original R6 and will be provided upon request.  Like its predecessors, the NA-R6II presents shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy EF lenses via an adapter in addition to their native RF optics.  To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-R6II into the N120 port system. Canon’s EF to RF mount adapters can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing. When using the EOS R6 Mark II inside the housing with the adapter and a supported EF lens, the port and extension ring arrangement will be identical to the same setup on a Nauticam Canon N120 DSLR.  With the ever growing RF lens lineup, you can also follow the dedicated N120 Canon RF port chart that is being updated and expanded with each new lens release.  Please note that the Canon Control Ring and Drop-in Filter EF to EOS R adapters are not accessible within the housing.

NA-R6II Details:

  • Model Number: 17339
  • AUD Retail Price: $5,593 (inc. GST)
  • CNY Retail Price: ¥23,003
  • Euro Retail Price: €3,813 (inc. VAT)
