Designed for shallow water and surface use, the AquaTech Base II Housing Kit for Canon 5D Mark III keeps underwater photography simple, so you can concentrate on getting the shot. Shutter and focus are controlled by a trigger on the M3 Pistol Grip, with the same operational feel of a camera's shutter button, just press halfway to focus and all the way for shutter release. The rest of the camera's controls must be preset or set to automatic.
Included in the kit is AquaTech's P65 flat lens port, which accepts a range of prime lenses with maximum lengths up to 63mm. The housing is constructed from durable but lightweight polyurethane, with stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and plastic controls. The port is made of Delrin with an optical acrylic element.
