Seacam Canon R5 Mark II Underwater Housing
The Seacam Canon R5 Mark II Underwater Housing is a masterpiece of precision engineering that will protect your investment and take your underwater photography to a whole new level.
For a long time, Seacam has been a sign of great underwater photos. Their housings are famous for how long they last, how well they're designed, and how well they work.
Build Quality
Seacam housings are made from solid blocks of seawater-resistant aluminum and are designed to survive the extreme pressure and corrosive conditions of the ocean. They're like protective suits for your camera, ready for anything the ocean can throw at them. In the water, every second is important. Seacam knows this, which is why they make their housings with easy handling in mind. The controls are put in a way that makes them easy to reach, so you can change settings and capture quick moments without missing a beat.
You have full control at your fingertips: The Seacam case lets you get to all of the camera's important controls. It's easy to change the tracking modes, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and video recording settings, so you're always ready to take the perfect picture.

Choices for the viewfinder to fit your style
Seacam gives you a number of viewing choices so that you can find one that suits your needs. Magnified viewfinders give you a bigger, better picture, which is great for focusing and composing. If you want to shoot more comfortably, especially when shooting from below, 45° viewfinders are a game-changer.
Why the Canon EOS R5 Mark II Is the Best Underwater Camera
Forget about underwater pictures that are blurry. The R5 Mark II has a 45-megapixel full-frame camera that pictures amazingly fine details, even in the tough, murky world of the ocean. Imagine seeing the coral reef's complex textures and the nudibranch's tiny details in a way that is amazingly clear. The R5 Mark II has the resolution you need to make pictures that will leave people speechless, whether you're taking macro or wide-angle. The R5 Mark IIoffers an advanced autofocus system that locks on to your objects with laser accuracy, and it even tracks the eyes of animals.
The R5 Mark II isn't just a great camera for taking pictures; it's also a great camera for shooting video. You can record 8K RAW video on your computer and catch the underwater world in all its bright glory. Think of the beautiful dance of a manta ray and the bright colors of a coral reef coming to life in 8K clarity.
