Overview & Features
About this Product
A professional grade, compact waterproof housing for Canon EOS M50 and EOS Kiss M mirrorless digital cameras. This system is perfect for any application in or around the water from scuba to surf to pool.
The Canon EOS M50 is a great mid-range compact mirrorless camera. A TTL flash hotshoe, 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor, and 4K video capture make it a good choice for underwater use.
Superb Handling
Good ergonomics are critical when you need to concentrate on
composition, focus, and proper exposure. Large, curved control levers
put the most important controls right where you need them: shutter and
autofocus (via the AF/MF button). This combination allows you to shoot
with or without back button focus, an advanced technique that is useful
for tack sharp focus of super macro and fast moving subjects. Each lever
can be extended using the optional Shutter Trigger Extension # 4077.93
for perfect spacing when using a right-hand handle.
The control
dial, rear control wheel, mode dial, power, and lens release controls
are all operated intuitively via premium soft-touch knobs. Stainless
steel, direct-drive rotating controls are virtually fail-safe and user
serviceable and adjustable in a pinch.
All rear camera buttons
are accessible by smooth action, hard anodized aluminum push buttons for
reliable performance and easy maintenance. These controls are clearly
labeled by laser engraving on the back of the housing that never fades
or falls off.
Two 1/4-20 threaded mounting points are included on
the bottom of the housing for simple, rotation-free attachment of a
tray and handle system. Handles provide improved ergonomics underwater
and are the foundation for your lighting mounts. The Tray with Dual
Quick Release Handles # 9523.64 is the most popular choice for both
handling and attachment of accessories.
The Lens Support You Want
Changing lenses and ports is super simple—just press the port on
and tighten three thumb screws. Feel positive reinforcement that the
port is secure with simple parts you can trust in a remote location.
This
housing accepts a variety of ports from our DLM Port System (Type A
mount) to accommodate the most popular zoom, macro, and wide angle
lenses. Our custom optical grade acrylic domes components provide the
color, clarity, and durability of glass at a fraction of the travel
weight and cost.
Lens port sold separately.
Durability and corrosion free performance
Our new white ABS-PC blend housing provides strength and corrosion
free performance year with minimal maintenance. The specially
formulated color deflects the sun to keep your camera running cooler,
longer. Compared to black or clear housings, the light color provides
superior contrast for enhanced view of the camera, LCD screen, and
o-ring seal.
The unique rear seal design prevents accidental
twisting or stretching of the o-ring for simple and confident assembly.
We have eliminated the need for an o-ring groove or channel which can
trap sand, dirt, or debris. Two double-passivated stainless steel
locking lid snaps are simple to use and virtually unbreakable. The clear
back allows you to see the o-ring form a solid, watertight seal as it
closes.
A spare 1/2"-20 threaded accessory port is provided on
the side of the housing for easily installation of the optional Vacuum
Kit #47012. A vacuum kit allows you to pressurize the housing to check
for proper assembly prior to entering the water.
