The Aquatica A7R V housing is one of the smallest yet most ergonomic housings on the market. The housing’s design is centered on the user being able to concentrate more in the creation of their image rather than how to use the system. There will be much less figuring out of where controls are.

All the controls are set to be self-centering and are spring-loaded. The user only needs to set the camera on the tray and slide it into the housing, no alignment is needed.

Since the camera is easily user customizable and the buttons mapped for almost any purpose, everything is literally at the user’s finger (or in this case, thumb) tips.

What was previously an optional accessory; Aquatica is now including their field-proven Surveyor Vacuum System (Pump, Valve, and Sensor) as standard.
