Isotta Sony A7R IV Underwater Housing

The Ferrari of the Sea

Isotta Housings ship WITHOUT T-Socket & Ball Mounts for the Housing Arms to attach Strobes, Video Lights etc

"My initial thoughts after having a chance to handle the housing myself is that Isotta is well made and ergonomic. The back door is easy to open and close, port lock system is very reliable, the controls are easy to access, the housings themselves are light weight and compact design. All ports include caps and the dome ports include neoprene port covers. Isotta offers housings for a wide range camera models and I think this brand will be a great addition to our product line."

-Tommy Stylski, Bluewater Photo Staff

Isotta is known for their high quality, anodized aluminum housings and their Isotta Sony A7R IV Underwater Housing is certainly no exception. We love the Isotta A7R IV housing because it is one of the most light-weight and compact underwater housings for the A7R IV on the market. The built-in, curved handles are suprisingly ergonomic, very comfortable, and adjustable. And of course, we love the flashy red color that is characteristic of Isotta housings. You won't lose this housing in the sea of black that is usually characteristic of underwater photography equipment. If you want a cutting-edge, high-end, and unique tool to take your A7R IV underwater, then this is the one.

The underwater housing is small & compact in size, has excellent ergonomics and is very durable. It features a unique way to open the housing with its single-hand locking system. In addition, it uses a double o-ring seal design to ensure the integrity of the housings seal.

The Isotta A7R IV housing has easy access to all key/main camera controls, even with gloves on, by means of the clearly labeled lasered long-life buttons. The back door of the housing has a large glass window, allowing you to easily view the LCD screen while shooting, as well as a viewfinder display depending on your desired shooting technique. The back door is fully removable from the housing to allow the camera to fit more easily inside the housing.
