Isotta Canon EOS R5 Underwater Housing
The Ferrari of the Sea
The staff at Bluewater just can't get enough of Isotta's anodized aluminum underwater housings. Holding the Isotta Canon EOS R5 housing is like driving an intricate yet elegant luxury vehicle - complete with the opulent red finish. This housing is crafted from a light-weight anodized aluminum designed for the precise innerworkings of the EOS R5. You won't find a housing on the market with a tighter fit to the camera. If a camera could have a glove, it would be an Isotta.
The housing is compact and lightweight, with precise ergonomics and ruggedness for any dive conditions. The Isotta EOS R5 Housing features a unique, yet very easy, way to open the housing with a single-hand locking system. In addition, the housing has a double o-ring seal design which ensures that your camera is safe and drastically decreases the chances of flooding.
Housing Features:
Single-Hand Locking System
The housings can be easily opened and closed using Isotta's innovative single-hand locking system. The single latch closing mechanism is a unique design and is effortless to operate while maintains a secure seal with its double steel pins design at the bottom of the housing.
Double O-Ring Seal
The Isotta Canon EOS R5 Underwater Housing utilizes the double o-ring seal design to ensure that the camera is always safe and dry inside the housing. It is always best to have a redundant o-ring on your seal to ensure that the housing is water-tight.
Comfortable Handles
The included adjustable dual handle of the housing provides comfort when shooting. The ergonomically designed handles makes operating the camera easy and comfortable even when wearing gloves.
Ergonomic Button & Lever Placement
The location of the function buttons and control levers have been well planned and everything is readily available at your fingertips, which makes operation of the camera smooth and straight-forward. In addition, the function buttons have been laser-engraved so that the button labels are easily visible in darker conditions.
