Key Housing Features
Housing Lock System
A dual locking system design in the R5 housing provides security and minimal effort to lock the back panel to the front panel of the housing. The lock features a locking button on both latches that ensures there is no accidental unlocking while making it easy to open up your housing for a battery or memory card swap.
Port Lock Design
The port lock system secures your port and port extensions in place with one simple latch. Like the housing lock system, it is easy to use but very secure.
Flash Trigger
The flash trigger converts the electronic signal from your camera into an optical signal which triggers your strobes. The flash trigger has a very long battery life - 10,000 triggers with the (2) CR2032 batteries. It also does not require you to turn the on/off switch on for it to operate. All you need to do is plug in the hot shoe of the camera and you're good to go!
Camera Tray
The housing comes with a quick release camera tray which makes camera installation a breeze. Also, the tray locks in place to the housing and can be easily be installed and removed. Once in place, the camera is secure and locked to the housing. The camera tray comes with a key that helps you remove the tray from the camera when you're done - and it's stored right on the tray!

Conclusions
Anytime a new housing brand hits the market, there are kinks in the housing to be worked out. While we noticed one or two, our first experience with Marelux went seamlessly! The photos speak for themselves. The Marelux R5 housing survived tough diving conditions, all the while providing us with excellent ergonomics and functionality. What more could you want from an underwater housing?
