Rental Nauticam Sony RX100 IV Housing
Product Overview:
The Nauticam RX100 IV housing is milled from a block of solid aluminum, then hard anodized. The result is a rugged and reliable piece of gear that will stand up to saltwater and the daily rigors of diving. Since the housing accesses all of the camera controls, including the front control ring, the user can take advantage of the enhanced programmability in the RX100 IV.
The features you'd expect are certainly present, like ergonomic design, the clearly labelled controls, sculpted shutter release and more. A updated fiber optic connection block is standard, as is the built-in vacuum check and leak detection system. Â Two accessory bulkhead ports support HDMI cables for an external monitor and the vacuum valve.
Nauticam RX-100 IV wet lens options
- Wide-angle - we recommend the Dyron super-wide lens for the widest results. The Inon UWL-100 28M67 also gives very good results, along with the optional Inon dome port.
- Macro - we recommend the Bluewater +7 macro lens. For super macro, you will need to stack two of these lenses. For the highest quality image the Nauticam Compact Macro Converter is excellent.

Terms of Service:
Bluewater Photo has examined, tested and confirms the equipment rented is in good working order and condition. All port and lens surfaces have also been thoroughly inspected and their condition is noted. Upon pickup, the Customer acknowledges the equipment is in good working order and accepts the rental condition as is. In the event equipment is shipped to the Customer, Customer failure to notify Bluewater Photo of any defects or problems with the equipment within 24 hours of receipt shall be conclusively deemed as acknowledgment that all equipment has passed customer approval and is in good working order. The Customer agrees to keep and maintain all of the rental equipment in good condition and assumes full responsibility for all the equipment and supplies until the all rented items are returned. The Customer agrees not to remove, cover, alter or deface any tags, serial numbers or nameplates on the equipment. To prevent damage, Customer agrees to test the housing underwater prior to use with camera and lens equipment. If o-ring sealed compartments are opened, Customer agrees to take appropriate care to avoid water droplets from entering and further agrees to carefully inspect, clean, and service any o-ring involved, as well as the corresponding sealing surfaces. Upon completion of each dive, Customer agrees to rinse all equipment in fresh water, protect the equipment from any impact, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and/or high temperature, and take precaution of any other circumstance that could damage the rented equipment. In the event of any loss or damage to the rented equipment regardless of the reason, the Customer agrees to fully cover the cost of the repairs and/or the replacement value as determined by the manufacturer’s list price at the time of said loss. Bluewater Photo is not liable for the Customer's personal gear used inside any the rented equipment. Customer agrees to return all equipment to Bluewater Photo in the same condition as when it was received. Bluewater Photo will inspect the equipment immediately upon return.

These fees will be communicated and payment should be rendered within 48 hours to avoid additional penalties. Customer authorizes Bluewater Photo to place a security hold on their credit card for the full value of the rented items. This hold will be released upon return.
