NAUTICAM LENS & PORT CHARTS

Nauticam Z Cam E2/E2C Underwater Housing NA-E2

With high-end specs such as C4K captured in 10-bit ProRes 422HQ or ZRAW at up to 120fps one would expect the price tag of the Z Cam E2 to match but at just under $2000 MSRP it's surprisingly affordable. The compact and modular nature of the E2 means Nauticam will be producing the smallest and lightest raw-capable cinema camera housing yet! The Nauticam NA-E2 will open new possibilities for cinema camera users.
 

THE Z CAM E2

The Z Cam E2 lineup is comprised of three models, the namesake E2, the E2C, and the E2G.

The E2 is the true powerhouse of the series and features a 4/3" WDR CMOS sensor generating 10-bit color with up to 16 stops of dynamic range. C4K can be recorded at up to 160fps in a variety of ProRes flavors as well as Z Cam's ZRAW partial-debayer raw codec. An MFT lens-mount means the E2 can be used with a variety of open-source lenses from Panasonic, Olympus, and Sigma.
 

Key Camera Specifications:

• 4/3" WDR CMOS sensor
• MFT Lens Mount
• 10-bit C4K at 160fps

THE NAUTICAM NA-E2 HOUSING

The NA-E2 sets the standard as the lightest and smallest raw-capable cinema housing ever produced. Nauticam has been a leader in cinema housings with offerings for RED, ARRI, Canon, PhantomFlex, Sony and now Z Cam.

The NA-E2 uses the N85 port system, shared with Nauticam's other MFT platform cameras which allows for an easy transition to the NA-E2 from other MFT Nauticam systems. The N85 system also provides access to Nauticam's line of professional premium optics such as the WWL-1 and CMC-1 & 2.

A dedicated record lever is located on the right side of the housing within easy reach of the adjustable ergonomic handles. 1/4"-20 size mounting threads are located on the top and bottom of the housing for easy mounting of cinema accessories.

The E2 supports Sony NP-F series batteries and the NA-E2 matches this compatibility up to and including the FP-970.

As with the NA-BMPCC2, the NA-E2 allows for the internal mounting of a Samsung T-5 SSD drive as recording media making the transition from capture to edit seamless.

The Z Cam E2 requires an external monitor and Nauticam produces several options for both SmallHD and Atomos monitors. The NA-E2 features both an M28 and two M-16 bulkheads supporting both HDMI 2.0 (M28) and HDMI 1.4 (M16) connections.

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.
 

MISSION CONTROL DESIGN

Nauticam engineers are driven to make the housings as easy and intuitive to ensure you don't miss a shot. The dedicated record lever is placed within easy reach of the ergonomic adjustable handles.
 

HDMI 2.0 SUPPORT
