Nauticam Canon EOS R Underwater Housing

Nauticam NA-R Underwater Housing for Canon EOS R Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

Innovation, ergonomics, and reliability are the hallmarks of the Nauticam brand and are brought to new heights with the Nauticam underwater housing for the Canon EOS R camera. Key controls are placed within an easy reach from the ergonomic, rubberized handles with unmatched ease of use. Controls on the housing are placed exactly where they should be for easiest access in water, regardless of the camera layout.

With the Canon EOS R camera, underwater image makers are not only seeing a full-frame mirrorless camera that incorporates Canon's dual-pixel autofocus and ability to use the EF-S lineup with an adapter, they are also getting the new RF mount that facilitates new lenses with breakthrough features.  The EOS R features a 30.3 MP Full Frame CMOS sensor using the new RF lens mount and a 3.7M dot electronic viewfinder.

Unmatched Ergonomics

Nauticam engineers are obsessed with getting the underwater image maker unfettered access to all the necessary controls, with as many within easy reach of the ergonomic rubberized handles. This Mission Control philosophy extends to the NA-R where a dual thumb lever and dual sub-lever are placed by the right handle.  The upper thumb lever activates the "AF-On" and the lower the "Info" buttons while the sub-lever corresponds to the "M-Fn" and "Record" buttons. Near the left handle is a thumb lever for "Playback" as well as a dedicated switch to change from using LCD to the EVF.  

Large knurled and rubberized control dials access the camera's "main" and "sub" command dials. The two-stage trigger allows for smooth focus and firing activation.  Additional buttons for "Menu", "Focus Point Selection" and others are also easily reached from the handles.

An additional control wheel is located on the left side of the housing and will interface with the control ring on the supported EF to EOS R Mount Adapter with Control Ring using the optional gear (PN 19561).

Lens Support

To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-R into the N120 port system.  Canon's EF to RF mount adapters can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing.  When using the EOS R inside the housing with the adapter and a supported EF lens, the port and extension ring arrangement will be identical to the same setup on a Nauticam Canon N120 DSLR.  As the RF lens lineup emerges, dedicated port and extension ring combinations will be listed on the Port Chart.  Two lens release buttons, one for RF and one for EF lenses used with the optional Canon adapter, are located on the front of the housing to make lens removal through the port opening simple.

External Flash Triggering

Flash triggering is achieved via one of two optional Flash Triggers, a manual LED trigger (PN 26301) or a TTL Flash Trigger (PN 26321) that use the built-in fiber optic bulkheads with optional fiber-optic cables to trigger supported strobes. For controlling strobes that do not support fiber optic flash triggering, a variety of legacy hot-shoe flash control bulkheads are available.

Integrated Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System

The NA-R comes with the electronics as well as the M16 Vacuum Valve II for the vacuum check and leak detection system pre-installed.  This simple system allows for checking the watertight integrity of the housing before the dive as well as monitoring continuously throughout the dive. 

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.
