Use your Sony Alpha a7R III or a7 III mirrorless digital camera to capture brilliant photos and 4K Ultra HD video of the undersea world with the Aquatica A7r III Underwater Housing. It features a depth rating of 295', which can be upgraded to 426' for free upon request, and is equipped with a Surveyor moisture alarm and pressure sensor. A pre-installed vacuum check system allows you to confirm watertight integrity before diving, and includes a valve and pump. An Ikelite manual connector enables the attachment of an optional external strobe via sync cord.

The standard, coated eyepiece offers a full view of the camera's viewfinder. The housing provides access to virtually all camera functions via mechanical controls. It also has an ergonomic design with two grips that offer improved handling and attachment points for optional lighting arms. Built for durability, especially resistance to corrosion, the housing is constructed from anodized, machined aluminum and stainless steel.

The A7r III housing ships without a required lens port, though various interchangeable ports are available for different lenses. For full compatibility, see the Port Chart and System Chart.

Q: 2. Will this fit NIkon zf c?

A: The LensCoat BodyBag M for Sony Alpha a7 III, a7R III, a7R IV, a9, a9II (Camo) (B&H# LELCBBMDC) would not be an ideal choice for the Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only) (B&H #NIZFC) as this bag is almost twice as large from front to back as that camera body is. Rather, this BodyBag M is designed for the Sony Alpha a7 III, a7R III, a7R IV, a9, and a9II.

Q: 3. Will this fit Sony A6400?

[7.95 lb] These are awesome for helping me put assorted bodies into checked luggage or my carry-on backpack. Keeps other gear from rubbing up against each other. 5

Bryan	17/09/2024
[Single Ikelite] I've been testing it for a day and am quite happy thus far / I don't detect any functionality that would be present with the A7R III that isn't present with the II. 5

Marco	14/09/2024
[7.95 lb] my only criticism is i can't understand why they wouldn't sell it with both handles the first time around. its so much easier to handle with both you ultimately end up purchasing a second one down the road 5

Angel P.	26/08/2024
[7.95 lb] Super light, many other accesories to make it even better. I'm using it with a Sony A7RIII and an Atomos ninja Flame. Just ordered the hand grip to have better support. Rather than other brands that get to rust all over and sweat your hands, 8sinn products are made of pure aluminum, hyper ergonomic and amazing design. Im not paid by 8sinn or B&H, but as a producer-filmmaker i must recomment to fellow colleagues brands that worth every buck!....This one is a must buy! 5

[Single Ikelite] I find great confidence in using this piece of equipment for my Sony camera. The weight adds to stabilization and the added handle I was able to attach makes that even more controllable. Additionally, the took that come with the cage is extremely convenient, as I never have to look for a quarter to screw ever again! Until I lose it… 5

Courtney	17/08/2024
[Single Ikelite] It took me a while to find a case that would work, so I wanted to share. I have a Sony ZV-1 that has a full SmallRig cage on it. I was looking for a soft case I could put the camera in and just toss it in another bag without having to take the cage off. This works. It's a little roomy, but not outrageously so. And it beats other cases that are marketed as being for the ZV-1, but where the camera barely fits, let alone the cage. Hope this helps. 5

[7.95 lb] Less expensive than some well known alternatives, but it does exactly what it is intended to do. Works fine on Sony A7rIIIA. 5

[Single Ikelite] These neoprene bags are great for camera bodies and lenses and I own several of them. 5
