Nauticam NA-Shinobi II Underwater Monitor Housing
Premium underwater housing for the Atomos Shinobi II monitor
The Nauticam Atomos 5.2" Shinobi II Underwater Monitor Housing is an aluminium underwater housing designed to pair with the Shinobi 5.2″ HDMI monitor. This Nauticam housing transforms the monitor into a rugged underwater monitor housing, enabling divers, videographers and professionals to use a bright field-monitor setup beneath the sea.
Ideal for videographers using mirrorless or cinema cameras who need a dedicated underwater monitor solution, this Nauticam housing supports deep diving environments while maintaining access to the monitor’s full suite of tools.

- Best for: underwater filmmakers and content creators who already use or plan to add the Atomos Shinobi II as an external monitor in their dive rig.
