Nauticam NA-1DX MKIII Housing 17332

Nauticam has been providing innovative aluminum housings since the original EOS-1D X with each evolution adapting to the ever changing role this camera plays in underwater image making.  The NA-1DXIII adds a host of video-centric enhancements as well as more refined ergonomics and control access for all shooting situations.  

PATENTED PORT LOCKING SYSTEM

Since 2009, this locking lever has become a signature of the Nauticam brand.  No twisting or threading action is required to mount a port, and it locks securely in place with this lever.  Nauticam also offers locking port extensions, meaning a dome will never twist, even when used with a long extension ring.

HDMI CONNECTIVITY

Both HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 cable systems are supported by the NA-1DXIII for video output to a monitor or recorder and the housing comes with an M28 to M16 step-down adapter pre-installed.

FLASH TRIGGERING

The NA-1DXIII supports flash triggering via the built-in fiber-optic bulkheads atop the housing through the use of Nauticam's Manual or TTL flash triggers.  The manual flash trigger provides high speed optical triggering of supported strobes using LEDs powered by an internal user-replaceable battery.  For TTL, the Nauticam Canon TTL Flash Trigger can be used.  The NA-1DXIII also comes with two M14 5-pin Nikonos bulkheads pre-installed along with a Canon to dual Nikonos bulkhead hot-shoe cable for electronic strobe triggering.  The M14 bulkhead is installed along with an M16 to M14 step-down adapter.

INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM

The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-1DXIII as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625 for M16 or 25624 for M14), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS

Optical performance is just as necessary as camera performance and this becomes even more critical given the challenges of filming underwater.  The Nauticam NA-1DXIII uses the same N120 Port System as the previous NA-1DXII which makes for a seamless transition for those upgrading to the Mark III.  While this system provides exceptional optical-glass and flat port solutions for a wide variety of EF-mount lenses, the real power of the EOS-1D X Mark III can be realized using Nauticam's Water Contact Optics.  This lineup of dry and wet lenses are conceived using commercial lens-design software to achieve truly unparalleled underwater image quality both for stills and video in both macro and wide-angle situations.  The WACP-1 and WACP-2 achieve ultra-wide 130º fields-of-view with reduced distortion over conventional optics while featuring ~0" minimum focus distances, zoom through capabilities and unbeatable corner sharpness at even wide-open apertures such as F5.6.  The SMC-1 and SMC-2 macro wet-optics, when used with the Canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens provide 2x and 4x magnification respectively and the SMC-1 actually provides a resulting image with increased contrast and sharpness than the 100mm lens itself can achieve in air without a magnifier.
