Sea & Sea Sony a7 V Underwater Housing MDX-α7VU
Universal compatibility with the Sony Alpha series.
The future-oriented mirrorless SLR-compatible housing is now fully loaded.
Universal design for the future. The back panel is designed to be large.
The back acrylic panel is more than twice as large as before to improve monitor visibility and reduce underwater weight. Furthermore, it is a sustainable design that can be used with future cameras with minimal parts replacement.
Newly designed optical fiber cable cover.
Newly designed fiber-optic cable cover included. Prevents optical cable terminals from falling out and smartly protects light-emitting panels and cable terminals. Includes a strap to prevent the cover from being lost.
Leak Alarm Unit as standard equipment
The Leak Alarm Unit, which was previously available as an option, is now included as standard equipment. It is effective not only for early detection of underwater flooding accidents, but also for protecting equipment by checking its waterproof performance before entry. CR2032 lithium battery included.
Strobe Synchro System
Three optional strobe connection methods are available.
1. Optical TTL connection
[Product No.50151] Optical YS Converter S2
Compatible with SEA&SEA "Optical YS Converter S1", which converts the strobe light emission signal of the camera to LED light and synchronizes with the SEA&SEA YS strobe. It is a high-performance converter that not only emits simple light-emitting signals but also performs TTL auto-light control.
2. Optical manual connection
[Product No.50146] Manual flash trigger
For those who do not need TTL photography, the fiber-optic cable connection enables manual firing of the YS strobe.
3. Electrical connection
[Product No.50147] Strobe connector/N
[Product No.50122] Optional Sync Cord 2-pin Connector
YS strobes can be electrically connected with a sync cord.
