The Aquatica SURVEYOR Moisture Alarm for Sony a7R II a7S IIfrom Aquatica SURVEYOR Moisture Alarm for Sony a7R II a7S IIoffers an added level of protection to the underwater photographer. The SURVEYOR circuitry integrates a water detection function that remains on constant duty when a battery is inserted. Should the slightest amount of water make contact with the sensor probes, it will trigger an alarm using both an audible signal and a rapidly flashing red LED to visually attract your attention. Adding the vacuum pump and pressure valve to your housing will make it possible, by creating a vacuum inside the housing, to fully test its sealing integrity. Once the easy-to-follow procedure is completed, a green LED blinking every five seconds will inform you that your SURVEYOR system is monitoring your camera housing and you're ready to dive. In the event that sand, hair, or other foreign matter would compromise the housing sealing integrity, the SURVEYOR warns you with both an audible signal and a rapidly flashing red LED signal.

This kit includes the moisture and vacuum sensor circuit, a pressure valve with retaining nut, a vacuum pump, mounting hardware, a container of O-ring lubricant, and a CR2032 battery.

Q: 4. Will this fit on the new Sony A7R iii?

A: Four sided cages are form-fitted to each and every camera body. Therefore there is a time lag from when the ne camera is announced to when form-fitting cages are available. While there is a possibility that this cage will fit, until CAME-TV tests it or comes out with a a7R III cage we will have to suggest you consider a universal cage such as: Varavon Zeus UNI C-Type Cage B&H # VAAMZEUSUNI, Tilta Cinema Cage for 5D Mark IV, FS5, GH5, DSLR & Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera B&H # TIEST072, Manfrotto Camera Cage (Small) B&H # MAMVCCS.

Q: 8. With this cage on the camera, can I still mount the camera with a metabones adapter onto a tripod? Meabones has a thread on the bottom that I attach the plate to and I want to know if the cage gets in the way of the plate.

A: While there should be no problem assembling the camera, cage and lens adapter, it is suggested the a more solid set up is by using the following piece, the Movcam Riser Block for Sony A7S Camera Cage B&H # MOCSSA7S. This supports the Metabones and keeps the camera from moving in the cage.

Q: 9. Is there a way to adapt this to the a7sii with a battery grip?

A: The cage will not work with the extended battery adaptors.

Q: 10. Will this work with the Canon Rebel series? I know I would need to get a different dummy battery. I have a Rebel T6i.

A: We're afraid not. This product is designed specifically for the a7 II series of cameras. It will not work with the Rebel T6i, not only because of the battery connection but also because this system is meant to turn a Clean HDMI Output to SDI and the T6i does not offer a Clean HDMI output.
