Nauticam NA-1DXII Underwater Housing for Canon 1D X Mk II Digital SLR Camera

Nauticam is proud to announce a new underwater housing crafted specifically for the latest Canon flagship full-frame digital SLR camera, EOS-1DX Mark II.

Canon calls the 1DX Mark II "the ideal tool for any professional image creator." 1DX Mark II is a class-leading still photo camera and a professional level 4K video system wrapped in a single body. This is an incredible advantage for an underwater shooter!
 

The Canon EOS-1DX Mark II

Canon Pro camera bodies have an incredible pedigree. Blistering frame rates and incredible low-light performance are a given. EOS-1DX Mark II delivers this, and more.
 

Building on the previous EOS-1DX Camera, the Mark II adds several key improvements.

• Newly developed 20.2 megapixel 35mm Full Frame Canon CMOS sensor
• Continuous shooting speeds of up-to-14 frames per second (fps) with Auto Exposure (AE) and predictive AF for viewfinder shooting and up to 16 fps in Live View mode
• Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors that transfer image data at extremely high speed for extended bursts during continuous shooting up-to-170 consecutive RAW images at 14 fps. When shooting JPEG images you're only limited by memory card capacity
• Capable of shooting 4K 60P and Full HD 120P video with Dual Pixel CMOS AF
• Enhanced wireless functionality (with the optional accessory Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E8) that supports the new high-speed IEEE 802.11ac standard and the ability to easily transfer photos and videos to compatible smartphones using Canons Camera Connect app
• Digital Lens Optimizer to help correct aberrations in-camera (a feature that previously required post-processing on an external computer)
• Improved 61-point viewfinder AF with expanded coverage and all AF-points selectable and supported to a maximum aperture of f/8
• Improved AI Servo III+ predictive AF algorithm for better accuracy
• Continuous red illumination of all AF points within the cameras Intelligent Viewfinder II
• Compatibility with both CF and CFast memory cards for optimal performance and versatility

In many ways, 1DX Mark II is the merger between EOS-1DX, a still photo powerhouse, and EOS-1DC, the first DSLR capable of shooting 4K video. Add to that a higher resolution sensor, AF system with improved accuracy and wider coverage area, and 4K Video at up to 60fps and it becomes clear just how incredibly capable this system can be. Professional image makers don't have to choose between still photo or video gear - they can have both.
 

The Nauticam NA-1DXII Underwater Housing

Nauticam housings are evolutionary marvels, with advancements from previous systems providing the foundation that new models are built on. The new Nauticam NA-1DXII housing incorporates advances from the Nauticam housings that came before it but features enhanced ergonomics, more and better control access, and reduced size/weight thanks to cutting-edge manufacturing processes.

There is clear continuity within the Nauticam DSLR lineup, and this consistency in control layout is something that professional image makers appreciate. Whether using a 1DX Mark II, 5DSR, or 7D Mark II the control access is remarkably similar and instantly familiar.

At first glance, it seems that Nauticam engineers have literally thought of everything. The truth is, they just listen. The thousands of Nauticam users, constantly in the field, have thought of everything. The engineering team integrates this user feedback, and the product line gets better and better with every new model release.
 

Flash Firing

The NA-1DXII Housing comes standard with twin Nikonos flash connectors for electrical strobe triggering. An optional LED flash trigger is available for rapid fire optical triggering (manual power), and a new TTL Flash Trigger enables automatic flash triggering!
 

Key Features

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.
 

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.
 

Multi-controller Pad & Piano Keys

Located within easy reach of the right thumb, ergonomically operates the 1DX Mark II Multi-controller joystick. Full directional control is available, including diagonals, for fast focus point or menu selection.

Piano keys, unveiled on the Nauticam housing for Canon 7D in 2009, bring the Quick Control and SET functions out to the housing handle for quick changes.
 

Mission Control

The right-hand grip features a cluster of key camera controls, all placed ergonomically for fingertip access.

Shutter Release, AF-On, Video Rec, Main Dial, Quick Control Dial, M. Fn., and ISO are all conveniently located.
 

Fn and Pv Assignable Function Keys

One of 19 available camera functions can be assigned to this oversized, tactile lever for easy operation.
 

Integrated Vacuum Monitoring and Leak Detection

Circuitry included as standard equipment provides constant monitoring of watertight integrity when combined with an optional Nauticam M16 Vacuum Valve II (PN 25625).
 

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.
 

Ergonomic Rubberized Grips

Another legendary Nauticam feature, these rubberized grips have been used every Nauticam DSLR housing release, and are some of the most comfortable in the business.
 

Clear Control Labeling

All camera controls are clearly labeled, allowing easy identification.
 

Double Thumb Levers

Oversized double thumb levers, easily reached from the housing grips, and operational while wearing cold water gloves are a Nauticam signature.

These levers access AF-On, Video Rec/Live View, Info, and Playback.
 

Integrated Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System

The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-1DXII as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625), 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.
 

Ease of Use

No system is easier to assemble or breakdown. The camera drops into the housing with a quick release camera tray. No controls need to be preset, as housing functions for dials and switches align automatically (On/Off, AF-M, Still Photo/Video). The large 120mm housing port opening allows even the largest popular pro-Canon wide angle lens (11-24mm f/4) to be used, and the camera can even be mounted in the housing with this large lens attached.
 

Viewfinders

The standard optical glass viewfinder is very good and travel-friendly, but many photographers prefer the ease of a magnified viewfinder with adjustable diopter. Nauticam produces a straight 180° enlarging viewfinder and a 45° angled enlarging viewfinder to enhance the ease of close quarters work often associated with macro shooting. Both viewfinders have high-quality optics and allow bright viewing of the entire image. A patented external dioptric adjustment allows personal adjustment to a sharp-as-a-tack standard underwater and viewfinder changes can be executed in less than 30 seconds without using tools. Exceptional composition and focus accuracy have never been more accessible.
 

Premium Professional Optics

Experienced shooters know a camera is only as good as the lens in front of it, and the same is true when choosing optics for an underwater camera system. Four optically coated glass dome ports (250mm, 230mm, 180mm, and 140mm diameters) and a series of acrylic ports support popular lenses from Canon, Sigma, and Tokina. Port configurations are extensively tested at Nauticam to determine the ideal extension ring length for best performance.

For macro and super macro shooting, the Nauticam Super Macro Converter is a revolutionary accessory. This is an entirely in-house design, optimized for use in water. The water contact correction offers the highest overall sharpness, free from chromatic aberration and purple fringing, with reproduction ratios exceeding 2:1, when used with an EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens.
