The Ewa-Marine V300 Underwater Housing for Canon EOS C300, C500is a waterproof enclosure enabling you to shoot beneath the water's surface with your Canon EOS C300, C300PL, or C500 Cinema Camera with Canon EOS lens. It accommodates many lenses, though the PL type/series and those with filter threads larger than 82mm will not fit. Lenses with a maximum length of 5.7" are compatible. The V300 includes Ewa's Tripod Connector with Mounting Plate, which consists of an anodized aluminum plate with both a 1/4"-20 and a 3/8"-16 screw threads and a quick-release head.

The housing has a depth rating of 32.8'. Two clamping rails anodized for corrosion resistance fit together to form a watertight seal. The enclosure provides full access to virtually all camera functions, which are operable through the clear, thin, flexible, double-laminated PVC body. There is a dedicated slot for the camera's top-mounted monitor, as well. The housing has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass lens port with a diameter of 100mm. The included CA-77 adapter screws onto camera lenses with a 77mm filter thread, fixing the front element of the lens to the interior of the port in order to hold the lens securely in place.

Several accessories are included. Drying agent CD5 helps prevent moisture buildup, and foam padding fills up extra space inside the housing when shooting above water, to ensure your camera fits snugly. Below the surface, the water pressure will compress the housing, eliminating excess space. However, you should still keep the foam padding inside and make sure there is some air left in the housing, so that that will be enough interior pressure to withstand the water pressure. The included water-resistant yellow carrying case is not meant for submersion but will protect your gear against splashes.

Safe to use at depths up to 32.8'. The housing's watertight seal is created via two clamping rails that fit together. The rails are anodized for corrosion resistance.

Virtually all camera functions can be operated through the housing's thin, flexible body. While the enclosure has positive buoyancy, the weight straps at the bottom permit the attachment of optional weights for negative buoyancy, to keep the housing from floating.

Crafted from durable double-laminated PVC, which is clear to enable you to monitor the waterproof seal and maintain a full view of the camera. Design includes a dedicated slot for the camera's top-mounted monitor.

Integrated, optically neutral flat glass port with diameter of 100mm accommodates Canon EOS lenses with a maximum length of 5.7" and a filter thread up to 82mm in diameter. PL lenses or lenses with filter threads larger than 82mm are not compatible. The included CA-77 Adapter screws onto camera lenses with a 77mm filter thread, fixing the front element of the lens to the interior of the port to hold the lens securely in place. The optional CA-82 Adapter allows for the use of lenses with 82mm threads.

Includes Ewa's Tripod Connector with Mounting Plate, which consists of an anodized aluminum plate with both a 1/4"-20 and a 3/8"-16 screw thread and a quick-release head. Also supplied is a packet of drying agent CD5 to help prevent buildup of moisture in housing, as well as enough foam padding to fill up any extra space inside housing when shooting above water. Below the surface, water pressure will compress housing, getting rid of excess space for a more snug, secure fit. However, you should still keep foam padding inside and ensure that there is some air in the housing so that there will be enough interior pressure to withstand exterior water pressure. Supplied water-resistant yellow carrying case with plastic interior and zippered side-pocket is not safe for submersion but will keep your gear dry if splashed.
