Our housings are set up with hard wired independent iris control for DOP and separate focus control for 1st UW AC - camera control is through hard wired Ethernet to Semote controller on the surface. This means the housings only need to come out the of the water for reloading media, even power is sent down from the surface

Completely impressed with the @canonuk R5C in the @nauticamhousings dive housing for this remarkable camera
As owner - operators of all our kit we always dive and test equipment for functionality, balance, image quality and general ‘in the field’ capabilities.
This mirrorless camera has the same EOS operating system as found in the C range of Canon cameras which translates to a superior experience for any underwater operator looking to have all the information and tools at their finger tip
We will have the housing on display at this years @wildscreenorg event so please swing by the Nauticam stand and take a look for yourselves, see you there!
