Overview & Features
The NA-BMPCCII Underwater Housing
The NA-BMPCCII is not just an update of the original NA-BMPCC, it
is a ground up redesign for the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
designed to take full advantage of the great new features of this cinema
camera.
Mission Control
Nauticam's design philosophy is driven by allowing immediate
access to all essential controls within easy reach of the handles,
allowing the shooter to make adjustments without having to take their
eyes off the screen. Within reach of the right handle are the trigger as
well as a control dial for iris, a lever to capture still images as
well as a double thumb lever for the white balance and autofocus. A
recessed double thumb lever, situated between the trigger and the rear
thumb lever accesses the ISO and Shutter Angle (Shutter Speed). Three
assignable buttons are atop the housing near the right handle as well as
three buttons on the right rear for HFR, Auto-Iris, Zoom and Menu. A
thumb lever on the left side activates Review.
The NA-BMPCCII
features DSLR style ergonomic handles with stainless steel stiffening
brackets that are compatible with the optional handle strap (PN 28130).
The rear monitor window is compatible with the Monitor Shade for the
NA-502 Housing (PN 17916) which attaches via four screws.
The
underside of the housing has mounting points for use with the Tripod
Mounting Ball Set (PN 25218) removing the use for a bulky tripod plate.
Premium Professional Optics
The NA-BMPCCII is built around the N85 Port System which offers a
variety of port configurations for a large selection of lenses. The
Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features a four thirds lens mount making it
compatible with the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R lens that when
paired with the WWL-1 provides ultra-sharp full-zoom-through wide-angle
performance. The WWL-1, when used with the bayonet mount system can be
exchanged underwater for the optional CMC-1 or CMC-2 to allow for the
capturing of up to 130º wide-angle, macro and super-macro all on the
same dive.
HDMI 2.0 Ready
The housing features several bulkheads including the large-bore
M28 which supports the use of an HDMI 2.0 recorder such as the Atomos
Ninja V through the Nauticam Atomos Ninja V Housing (PN 17922).
Custom Battery Pack
To allow for increased run-time, the NA-BMPCCII comes with a
custom battery cage that holds 4x 18650 Lithium Batteries (batteries
not included). This battery cage sits securely beneath the camera inside
the housing and connects directly to the camera's power supply input.
With 4x3400 mAh batteries, the run-time of the system can exceed 3
hours.
Run Times:
- Canon LP-E6 internal battery: 40min
- 4 x 16850 Battery: up to 160min
- Total Run Time: 3hrs 20min
SSD Recording via USB-C
The NA-BMPCCII features a notch above the camera that holds a
portable SSD T5 (not included) which is connected to the camera via
USB-C and allow for the recording of Raw or ProRes video to
high-capacity edit-ready media.
Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped
with NA-BMPCCII as standard equipment. With the pre-installed vacuum
valve, this monitoring system provides constant updates on the
watertight 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.
Housing Locking Latches
The industry's easiest to use housing closure system, requiring
very little hand strength to operate, secures the housing back in place.
The latches are safely locked to prevent accidental opening, but are
easy to open when needed for a quick battery or memory card change.
Patented Port Locking System
Unveiled
on the very first Nauticam DSLR housing in 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.
