Press release

SEACAM compact SONY A7II

With the new SEACAM compact series, we are expanding our range to housings for mirrorless cameras. The SEACAM compact SONY A7II housing is extremely small, lightweight, fully equipped and comes in our innovative SEACAM silver design.

• The SEACAM compact for the SONY A7II sets new standards in design and ergonomics. Due to the special construction, the mounting of the camera is especially easy.
• The housing is milled out of a saltwater-proof light metal alloy twice hardened and high-value anodized.
• Special longevity is achieved through use of materials of only the best quality: stainless steel, anodized aluminum, premium synthetics as well as Helicoil threads.
• Double sealing with seamless, high-quality precision O-rings protects all shafts and press buttons. The main O-ring is of a particularly strong dimension.
• The titanium SAFETY LOCK fastening system safely secures both housing shells.
• The easy mounting system and the double O-ring sealing particularly secures the SEACAM front port connection with its bayonet thread.
