Product description Capture brilliant photos and 4K Ultra HD video of parrot fish, blue-ringed octopi, and coral reefs with your Sony Alpha a7R II or a7S II mirrorless digital camera, thanks to the Aquatica A7r II Underwater Housing. It features a depth rating of 295', which can be upgraded to 426' for free upon request, and is equipped with a Surveyor moisture alarm and pressure sensor. A pre-installed vacuum check system allows you to confirm watertight integrity before diving, and includes a valve and pump. This version of the housing ships without strobe connectors and is specifically intended for video recording, so be sure to grab an LED or other type of constant video light for sufficient illumination and color correction.
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 anodized, machined aluminum and stainless steel.
The A7r II ships without a required lens port, though various interchangeable ports are available for different lenses. For full compatibility, see the Port Chartcdzrcwvvxeu and System Chart. - Waterproofing
