THE HOUSING

Designed and built to fit the specific form and functionality of the Nikon D500, the housing allows photographers and videographers to make use of almost all camera features from the outside.

These rugged controls allow for all main features of the Nikon D500 to be used underwater, including those for video. Placing the camera into the housing is easy thanks to the new tray that keeps the camera in place once inserted. A lever locks the tray inside the housing.

Closing the housing is easy with Isottas single handed one-turn knob. It's fast and does not require effort by the user. Its secure thanks to its double steel pins at the bottom so the housing and the double O-rings on the rear door.

Handles are comfortable and molded ergonomically to the human hand.

Port and lens release functionality has been redesigned with ease of lens and port changes in mind. Exchanging ports and lenses is now even easier.

A wide range of ports and adapter rings allow pretty much any lens to be used with D500 and the Isotta housing.
