Overview & Features
NAUTICAM NA-R5 HOUSING
The NA-R5 underwater housing embodies Nauticam's drive for innovation. Both the Canon EOS R5 and the Nikon Z-7/6 cameras present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy lenses via an adapter in addition to their native optics. For many, the EOS R is a move from a full-frame Canon DSLR. To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-R5 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 R5 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.
Mission Control
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 R5 Mount Adapter with Control Ring using the optional gear (PN 19561).
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.
Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System
The NA-R5 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.
Patented port locking lever
The NA-EOS-R5 features Nauticam's signature port locking system. Ports can be easily installed and securely locked in place. The NA-EOS-R5 will support both RF and EF mount lenses through the N120 Port System.
Stainless steel handle brackets
Stiffening handle brackets are included with the housing. These brackets eliminate any flex or wobble when using big strobes, and provide multiple attachment points for lanyards or other accessories.
Premium professional optics
The NA-EOS-R5 is designed around the N120 Port System and when used with supported lenses allows for the use of a variety of Nauticam water contact optics such as the WACP, as well as the SMC-1 and SMC-2 super macro converters.
