AquaTech Elite 5D III Underwater Sport Housing for Canon 5D Mk III, 5Ds, 5DsR

Description

Capture photos and video over, under, or near the water's surface with your Canon 5D Mk III, 5Ds, 5DsR in this AquaTech Elite 5D III Underwater Sport Housing . Featuring a depth rating of 33', AquaTech housings are designed for shallow water and surface use, and shouldn't be operated at depths beyond 15' for longer than five minutes.

The Elite 5D III's tactile, mechanical controls provide easy access to important camera functions, and its ergonomic design and side grip offer optimal handling and comfort. An optional Pistol Grip Trigger and 27" Pole Shutter Extension kit offers remote firing capability and focus control, allowing you to capture blur-free images with ease. The pole also affords extra reach when shooting at certain angles.

The housing's polyurethane body has reinforced quick-release clips and tactile controls made of stainless steel, aluminium, and high strength plastics. All of the aluminium parts have been anodised for resistance to corrosion and other wear and tear. The O-rings that secure the housing's inner controls are greased during assembly and a small tube of O-ring grease is included for continued maintenance of the metal shafts of the housing's push controls.

An optional flash bulkhead sync connector, supplied with the flash housing, enables the Elite 5D III to work with optional accessories such as external flash units and pocket wizards. A threaded 3/8"-16 mounting point at the bottom of the housing enables connection to an optional tripod or tray. The Elite 5D III sport housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts a series of screw-mounted ports for the Canon lens series. For complete compatibility information, see this
