Canon 70D Underwater Housing by Nauticam
In an exciting development for underwater photographers, Nauticam has announced the release of a new housing for Canon's EOS 70D camera. Scheduled to ship on October 1, 2013, the NA-70D housing promises to enhance the capabilities of underwater shooting significantly.
Known for its innovative ergonomic design, the Nauticam 70D underwater housing allows full access to all camera controls in a compact, durable housing specifically tailored to the Canon EOS 70D. Crafted from anodized aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish, the housing offers excellent protection and reliability in underwater conditions.
The housing features precision-machined control knobs and ergonomic handles, enabling easy use even with gloves underwater. Nauticam housings are also compatible with a wide range of lenses and accessories, including strobe arms and ports, expanding the creative potential for underwater photography.
One of the standout features of the NA-70D housing is its ease of use. With the housing, it is possible to remotely control the camera while it is in the housing using the EOS Remote on an iPhone. Moreover, the housing offers excellent ergonomics and easy lens changes without the need to remove the camera from the housing.
The Canon 70D camera, which features a Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, is the first camera to incorporate this technology. This sensor allows for use of phase detection AF in both viewfinder and live view, providing fast and accurate autofocus for video and live view shooting. The camera also has a built-in WiFi capability for image review on smartphones or tablets.
The NA-70D housing has a depth rating of 100m and weighs 3.17kg. It also comes with Nauticam's new vacuum system with integrated electronic vacuum and leak detection monitoring system, ensuring a secure and reliable seal. The housing also features a patent-pending Multi Controller Pad that allows full multidirectional use of the 8-way controller.
Nauticam has also thought of existing housing owners, providing port adapters to allow them to use their current ports, reducing the cost of switching to a Nauticam housing. The NA-70D housing is constructed with new weight reduction techniques and has advanced galvanic corrosion protection.
To further improve video performance, Nauticam's NA-DP4 housing for the Small HD DP4 Monitor can be used in conjunction with the NA-70D housing. The lineup of ports, together with Zen Underwater dome ports, supports a wide range of lenses for underwater shooting.
Overall, the NA-70D housing by Nauticam represents a significant step forward in underwater photography, combining full functional access, robust protection, and ergonomic operation tailored specifically for Canon's 70D. This housing is set to revolutionise underwater photography, offering unparalleled control and reliability in underwater conditions.
