Product description Use your Sony Alpha a7R III or a7 III mirrorless digital camera to capture brilliant photos and 4K Ultra HD video of the undersea world with the Aquatica A7r III 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. Dual Nikonos connectors enable the attachment of optional external strobes via sync cords.
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.
