Product description Capture detailed still images and Full HD 1080p videos of parrot fish, moray eels, and coral reefs with Aquatica's A5DSR Pro Underwater Housing, which is designed for Canon's EOS 5Ds, 5Dsr, and 5D Mark III DSLR cameras. It has a depth rating of 295', which is upgradeable upon request to 426'. This version of the housing also includes a pre-installed vacuum check system, which allows you to confirm watertight integrity before the dive. Dual fiber optical connectors and an LED trigger flash enable the attachment of optional external strobes. The standard, coated eyepiece offers a full view of the camera's viewfinder.
The housing provides access to virtually all camera functions via mechanical controls. It also has an ergonomic design with 2 grips that offer improved handling and attachment points for optional lighting arms. Built for durability, especially resistance to corrosion, the housing is constructed from an anodized, machined aluminum alloy and stainless steel.
The A5DSR ships without a required lens port, though various interchangeable ports are available for wide-angle, macro, and zoom lenses. For full compatibility, see the Type 1 Port Chart and Type 4 Port Chart. - Waterproofing
