The Nauticam NA-C400 Underwater Housing
The Nauticam NA-C400 is a professional underwater aluminum housing that builds on Nauticam's extensive cinema housing lineup. The NA-C400 features the large N120 port opening shared with other Canon RF and EF-mount cameras such as the R5II and R5C. This lets you use identical lens and port combinations across RF-mount Canon cameras on a project with Nauticam housings.
Mission Control
Nauticam engineers obsess over placing essential controls where you need them most, so you never miss a shot looking for a button, dial, or lever. Nauticam's cinema lineup features large, cinema-style lens control dials for precise focus and zoom control. Exposure and capture controls are placed within easy reach of the ergonomic handles.
In addition to mechanical controls for Power, Zoom, Focus, and Lens Release, the NA-C400 features electronic controls at the rear and on both sides of the housing through the camera's remote functionality. The left handle adjacent controls are for 'Up', 'Down', 'ISO+', and 'ISO-'. The right-handle adjacent controls are for 'Rec', 'Fn3', 'Fn4', 'IRIS+', and 'IRIS-'. The main control board accesses 'Left', 'Right', 'Up', 'Down', 'Set', '1', '2', 'Set', 'MENU/REC Review'.
LCD Monitor Support
The C400 features a detachable LCD screen that integrates easily into the NA-C400. The LCD monitor is supported inside the housing and mounted at the rear of the camera with a supplied bracket, allowing easy viewing underwater through the shaded rear window for a streamlined filming solution.
HMDI/SDI
The NA-C400 supports Nauticam's optional HDMI 2.0 and 1.4 system that can accommodate external monitors or recorders in Nauticam housings. SDI output is also available for either surface monitoring or supported monitors. The NA-C400 has 1 M28 and 5 M16 bulkheads to support a variety of configurations for mounted or remote setups.
Battery
The NA-C400 can accommodate either the BP-A30N or BP-A60N batteries or a combination of the BP-A30N and an FXLION NANO THREE 150Wh Micro V-Mount battery for extended runtimes.
