Product description Capture brilliant photos and stunning 4K UHD videos of parrot fish, moray eels, coral reefs, and more with Aquatica's A6300 Underwater Housing for the Sony Alpha a6300 Mirrorless Digital Camera. It has a depth rating of 295', and includes a pre-installed vacuum check system, which allows you to confirm watertight integrity before the dive. The Ikelite strobe connector enables the attachment of optional external flash units via sync cords. A standard coated eyepiece offers a full view of the camera's viewfinder, and the optional coated Aqua View Finder provides an enlarged, enhanced view with 100% coverage, corner-to-corner sharpness, and dioptric adjustment.
The housing affords access to virtually all camera functions via mechanical push-button, knob/dial, and lever controls. It also features 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 anodized, machined aluminum and stainless steel.
The A6300 ships without a required lens port and accepts various interchangeable ports to accommodate an array of lenses, including the Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 rectilinear wide-angle and Touit 50mm f/2.8 macro; Sony 90mm f/2.8 macro, 10-18mm f/4, 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6, 16mm f/2.8 pancake, and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6; and Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 fisheye with Metabones adapter.
