Nauticam NA-A7RVI Housing

The NA-A7VI underwater housing provides fingertip access to all key camera controls in a rugged and reliable aluminum underwater housing. Ergonomic camera control access is one of the defining strengths of a Nauticam housing, and the NA-A7VI continues this tradition. Essential camera parameter changes are made from the handles, without awkward reaches.

The NA-A7V housing inherits the core design elements from the Nauticam pro DSLR range, and bundles them in a more compact package. The new updated patented port locking lever allows lens changes to be made in seconds. Opening the housing for quick battery and media changes is fast and easy with the locking housing latches. All aspects of the system are a seamless extension of the camera.

Ergonomic Control Placement

The NA-A7RVI is designed for efficient underwater operation, placing key controls along the left and right side of the housing for easy, ergonomic access to all of your essential camera controls for focus, zoom, exposure, and many more right at your fingertips.

Thumb levers near the left and right handles allow for easy access to image review, AF controls, and record triggering. Command wheels are located along the right side for fast adjustments to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. All of these are easily reachable, without having to remove your hands from the handles.

Lens Support & Advanced Optics

Built on Nauticam’s renowned Sony mirrorless housing lineup, the NA-A7RVI features Nauticam's  N100 port mounting system. This offers an extensive range of dome ports and flat ports for the entire Sony E mount line of lenses.  In addition, you can take full advantage of Nauticam entire lineup of water contact optics. These optics offer superior image quality for underwater imaging and can be configured for wide angle imaging, macro imaging, and everything in between.

In addition, the NA-A7RVI offers full compatibility with existing ports, gearing, and lens configurations from earlier models like the NA-A7RV, NA-A1 and NA-A7IV. This allows photographers to use the same lens, lens gearing, and port combinations across multiple sony underwater systems using Nauticam housings, along with an easy upgrade path for existing Nauticam/Sony full frame camera owners.

Optical Viewfinders

You can take full advantage of Nauticam 0.8:1 optical viewfinders to enhance the EVF found on the A7RVI camera. These viewfinder are offer in a straight and angled version, but both offer an enhanced view of the cameras EVF, along with a dioptric adjustment, allowing you to fine tune the viewfinder to your eyesight.

With a large M24 bulkhead, the NA-A7RVI can accommodate a wide variety of Nauticam's underwater monitors and housings via their HDMI 2.0 cabling system.

The housing also features multiple 1/4”-20 mounting points for securely attaching components such as top handles, ball mounts, and other accessories.

Vacuum Check and Leak Detection

The NA-A7RVI includes Nauticam’s vacuum check and leak detection system. When combined with an optional vacuum valve (25625), the system continuously monitors the housings waterproof integrity, using a simple color-coded LED indicator to signal a secure seal or potential leaks. If water intrusion occurs, an audible and visual alert is triggered.

Strobe Triggering

Two fiber-optic bulkheads are located along the top of the housing, and when combined with the Mini Flash Trigger for Sony (26302), offer high speed optical triggering for a large variety of underwater strobes.  Electronic triggering is also supported with Nauticams Nikonos or Ikelite style electrical bulkheads and hotshoe kits.
