Typically underwater image makers are pretty low on the list of camera manufacturers’ priorities. However, an article in Petapixel suggested that Sony was providing some advance warning of impending designs. In December 2019, Sea&Sea launched a housing for the a7rIV, with the naming convention of a7IV, which many thought could be for a yet to be announced camera.
Sea&Sea has announced their housing for the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera. It is compatible with both RF and EF lenses (with the adaptor), it has a 24mm bulkhead for HDMI 2.0 output. It uses Sea&Sea’s MDX port system and strobe triggering can be via fiber optic or electronic sync.
Sea&Sea is shipping their YS Optical Converter for Canon EOR R camera housed in the company’s MDX housing. It is compatible with both YS-D1 and YS-D2 strobes and, in common with Sea&Sea’s other YS converters, can be activated and controlled via a button located on the housing.
Sea&Sea has announced their MDX housing for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless camera. It is compatible with the company’s MDX ports and gears and has dual focus/zoom gears for EF and RF mount lenses. Sea&Sea has also announced that there will be an Optical YS Converter available for the housing and camera.
Sea&Sea has announced their MDX housing for the Nikon D850. Shown at the DEMA show, the housing has been precision machined, offering an 11% weight saving over the MDX-D810 housing. Both main and sub command dials are located on the housing’s right hand side with lever access to ISO and Record controls.
