Many underwater imaging enthusiasts have been anxious to move beyond the limited performance of their compact camera systems but have been reluctant to give up the compact form factor and simplicity of the genre. Other world travelers have started wondering if there is a way to downsize from their DSLR without giving up too much performance. Nauticam has been listening to this increasing interest and their industry leading engineers have responded with the new NA-R50.
 
The mission statement was clear: Design the most compact and friendly housing possible for Canon’s awarding-winning and remarkably compact EOS R50 mirrorless APS-C camera. The added challenge was making the housing just as simple and straight forward as Nauticam’s legendary compact camera housings, while making it even easier to achieve superior imaging results. The resulting housing represents an entirely new category for Nauticam while maintaining their famous ergonomics and quality.

THE NA-R50 UNDERWATER HOUSING
Nauticam has a longstanding reputation for pioneering underwater housing technology, consistently pushing boundaries to create evolutionary products that simplify imaging creation. The NA-R50 Underwater housing embodies these qualities, combining the beloved features of Nauticam's housings into a compact and lightweight design.
Specifically engineered for the Canon RF-S 18-45 F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens, the housing integrates the lens port seamlessly, eliminating the need for additional maintenance, similar to Nauticam's compact camera systems. This versatile lens delivers excellent results across a wide to narrow fish portrait field of view range. It can also be combined with Nauticam's WWL-1B or WWL-C for sharp wide-angle coverage with full zoom capabilities, all while maintaining a modest form factor. For a comprehensive and portable system, Nauticam's Compact Macro Converter water contact optics can be added, allowing photographers to tackle any scenario.
 
Crafted from rugged aluminum, the NA-R50 housing is not only lighter but also more compact compared to previous Canon APS-C systems. It is an ideal choice for photographers seeking stunning images and videos with industry-leading autofocus, while enjoying the convenience of minimal bulk and maintenance. The housing is ready for submersion, including the zoom gear, making it a hassle-free setup. Simply combine it with the R50 camera and RFS 18-45 lens, and you're ready to capture your shots.
