**The Nauticam NA-Z50II is designed to work exclusively with the versatile Nikon Z DX 16-50mm lens featuring a fixed flat port that is compatible with our powerful WWL-C wide-angle wet optic and CMC-1 macro optic via the pre-installed bayonet-mount system.

Key Features:

Housing Locking Latch

The compact nature of the Nikon Z50 II is translated directly into the design of the NA-Z50II. Compared to the NA-Z50 housing for the original Nikon Z50, the NA-Z50II is built around a clamshell closure that allows for a drop-in installation of the camera with no tray necessary.

Patented Port Locking System

The housing uses Nauticam patented port locking system which is also used on their DSLR housings. 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

The NA-Z50II features intuitively placed and easy to reach controls for critical functions, making the integrated and stabilized ergonomic handles Mission Control for your underwater imaging.  Textured knobs for the main and sub command dials are within easy reach of the right handle alongside dedicated video REC and AF-ON buttons.

For video shooters, the Nikon Z50 II maintains separate exposure settings in Still and Video modes and switching between the modes is done via a convenient switch which is easily accessed on the top of the NA-Z50II housing. With extensive Auto ISO controls, the NA-Z50II is an ideal platform to create video content with the Z 50's UHD 4K 60p/30p or HD 120p capture.

The NA-Z50II is constructed around the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm lens and features a fixed flat port with a pre-installed bayonet mount. Utilizing Nauticam’s WWL-C wide-angle optic, the Z50 II is able to achieve unparalleled sharpness and a remarkable 130º field-of-view with full zoom-through functionality. The wet-mate nature of the lens allows it be removed underwater and replaced for the strong CMC-1 macro lens making the NA-Z50II a true do-anything system. The integrated bayonet-mount makes swapping quick and uncomplicated.
