Nauticam NA-GX85 Underwater Housing for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85, DMC-GX80, DMC-GX7II Cameras

The NA-GX85 supports the Panasonic Lumix GX85 (also known as the GX80 or GX7 Mark II) interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The GX85 shares many of the features of its more pricier companion the GX8. The GX85 sports a 16MP CMOS 4/3 sensor capable of shooting 5-axis stabilized 4K at 30p making it a capable video and still rig.

THE PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-GX85 (GX-80 OR GX7MKII) CAMERA

The GX85 comes ahead of its rivals in the entry-level mirrorless interchangeable lens market with some incredible features for the price. Major points are gained through the Dual I.S. image stabilization that combines 5-axis in-body stabilization with the internal lens stabilization found on Panasonic IS lenses. The GX85 also features Panasonic's DF or Depth from defocus autofocus which calculates subject distance and uses that information to drive the autofocus system.

The GX85 removes the low-pass filter giving even sharper images from the 16MP CMOS sensor. The ability to shoot 4K (UHD) at 30p is enhanced with the 4K PHOTO mode that can take advantage of Panasonic's "Post Focus" technology allowing for a change of focus in post and for pulling 4K still photos while still shooting at 30 frames per second.

The Nauticam Easi or Flexitray system is a perfect fit for those looking to add handles to their NA-GX85 system. the same handles found on DSLR and larger Mirrorless systems are now available for all housings. The NA-GX85 ships with the stabilizing brackets and trigger extension needed when using the Easi or Flexitray.

Flash triggering is accomplished via integrated fiber-optic bulkheads that operate off the built-in flash of the camera. Electronic bulkheads are also available to trigger legacy strobes that do not accept fiber-optic connections.
