The Nauticam Canon C50 NA-C50 Underwater Housing is a professional aluminum nauticam housing built specifically for the Canon EOS C50 cinema camera. It uses the N120 port system and supports Nauticam’s premium wet optics for wide-angle, macro, and everything in between.
Designed for serious underwater filmmakers, this nauticam underwater housing combines 100 m depth rating, full access to camera controls, space for an internal USB-C power bank, and HDMI 2.0 support for external monitors. Always confirm lens and port choices using the official Nauticam port chart for the NA-C50 system.
- What it is: Aluminum N120 pro video housing for the Canon EOS C50 cinema camera with integrated vacuum check and leak detection electronics.
- Best for: Documentary, wildlife, commercial and narrative shooters who want compact full-frame 7K cinema underwater; not intended for compact or still-photo-only users.
- Key compatibility: Canon EOS C50 body, N120 port system for Canon RF and EF lenses (via RF-to-EF adapter and optional ND/gear kits), plus Nauticam WWL, WACP, CMC, SMC, and EMWL wet optics.
- Ports & triggers: Uses Nauticam’s N120 bayonet port mount; HDMI 2.0 capable via M24 bulkhead; supports external strobes/video lights via optional flash trigger and sync solutions—configuration should be confirmed for your rig with Bluewater Photo.
- Limitations & gotchas: Purpose-built only for the Canon C50, lens support and extension rings depend on the nauticam port chart, and a separate vacuum valve is required to use the integrated vacuum monitoring system.
