Nauticam A7 - How to Fire Your Strobes

Sync cords: The Nauticam A7 housing includes a bulkhead, if you want to fire your a strobe electronically you will need a S&S sync cord for Sea & Sea and Inon strobes, and an Ikelite sync cord for Ikelite strobes. If you have 2 strobes, you will need the dual-cable versions.

Fiber optic cables: The A7 housing includes 2 fiber optic ports, to use your fiber optic cables, you will need to purchase the Sony A7 optical flash trigger, because the Sony A7 does not have an internal flash, and use the Nauticam to Sea & Sea fiber optic cables.

New Nauticam A7 Port System

The new housing for the A7 delivers on the promise of the A7: Full frame camera - small package. A new port system was designed for this camera... the SLR port opening was too large, meaning that the housing would be too large, and the existing mirrorless system port opening is too small for some of the lenses expected in the new Sony FE lens lineup. So, a new line of intermediate size ports is required and is being delivered with this housing.

The housing and new port line would not be complete with the patented Locking Port Release system, which, like it does on other Nauticam housings, utilizes a unique internal bayonet system that locks the port securely without twisting or misalignment. The iconic red lever is easy to operate and lets the shooter know immediately that the port is securely locked in place. The user friendly housing latches are here as well, making this housing exceptionally easy to put together.

Nauticam Sony A7 Key Features:

	Signature Nauticam Port Locking System The iconic red locking lever is right at home on the NA-A7... lens/port changes made quick, easy and secure.
	SLR Styling with Handles Built In: The housing is designed to be used with the shooter's hands on the handles, ergonomically placing the camera controls at just the right spot for easy use. No extra tray/handles to buy!
	Brackets: Laser cut stainless steel brackets reinforce the handles, making the rig sturdy and stable even with large strobes or video lights. Mounting balls are included, ready to attach strobes, video lights, and more.
	Vacuum System: The integrated vacuum check and leak detection system adds extra assurance of watertight integrity. Use it without an optional vacuum valve and it serves as a audible/visual water ingress detector. Add the vacuum valve, and get watertight integrity indication via a color coded LED light.
	LCD or EVF - Your Choice The patented switch means either the LCD or EVF can be used and the shooter can instantly switch between them - underwater!
	EVF Viewfinder Options: For shooters wanting to take the ultimate advantage of the excellent OLED EVF in the A7, the renowned 180º Enhanced Viewfinder or the excellent 45º Enhanced Viewfinder are available. It takes less than a minute to change these viewfinders and no tools are required.
	Fingertip Control: Fingertip control for all key shooting controls, including both shutter release, focus lock, both command dials, and video start/stop. All of the controls are easy to operate, even with gloves on.
	Rubberized Zoom/Focus Knob: The new zoom/focus knob is now rubberized to make gripping easier and more comfortable. Nauticam is the only housing manufacturer offering over-molded, rubberized parts. Like previous Nauticam handles, the built-in NA-A7 handles get the rubberized treatment that so many shooters have come to enjoy.
	Nikonos Lens Support: Old meets new as the Nikonos lenses finally get matched up with a digital camera that is worthy of these legendary water contact lenses.
