Ewa-Marine U-AXP100 Overview

The Ewa-Marine U-AXP100 Waterproof Case is an economical solution for using any autofocus SLR camera with shoe-mounted flash near or just under the water's surface, manufactured from double laminated PVC and with an optical glass port.  It is rated for dives of up to 164' depth; perfect for snorkeling, diving, or generally sandy, dusty, and humidity weather conditions.  The U-AXP100 gives your camera and flash the best possible protection while being fully operable.  When not in use, it is relatively light and takes up little space.

A pair of noncorrosive and seawater-resistant clamping rails fit together for sealing, tightened by knurled screw knobs.  The housing's internal glove allows easy access to camera controls.  If your setup is too buoyant underwater, the optional BF1 lead weight can be affixed to the bottom of the housing.

The U-AXP100 housing accommodates an autofocus SLR camera with shoe-mounted flash, with the maximum dimensions for the whole kit being 7.5 x 10.75 x 6.6" with lens and a 77mm maximum lens filter thread (the optional 82mm ring #CA82 is required for 82mm lenses).  Amongst others, the U-AXP100 fits the Canon EOS-1 and EOS-3 and Nikon F4/F5 film cameras, and the Canon EOS 1D/1Ds/10D + BG-ED3, Fujifilm S2 Pro, Kodak DCS 14N, and Nikon D1h/D1x/D2h and D100 with MB-D100.

An Ideal Near-the-Surface Solution
The Ewa-Marine housing is perfect for use at or near the water's surface, such as in sailing or snorkeling, but is also practical for protection from harsh weather conditions.
Bellowed to Work with Autofocus SLR Cameras
The ribbed, bellowed section of the housing allows some fore and aft movement of a lens during its focusing action.
Extra Height for Shoe-Mounted Flash
The U-AXP100 is taller than the standard U-A autofocus housing to allow the addition of a shoe-mounted flash.
Double-Laminated PVC Construction
Long-lasting housing solution that is easy to maintain and packs in minimal space.
Noncorrosive Clamping Rails
The noncorrosive and seawater-resistant clamping rails are secured by knurled thumbscrews.
Battery Packs
The specially profiled foam padding can be removed from the housing to allow room for a battery pack.
Optional Lead Weight
Buoyancy can be changed by adding the optional BF1 lead weight.
Economical
Priced significantly less than conventional housings.

Do you have to purchase a different step-up ring to fit each lens you plan to use? Unclear how the lens fastens to the glass.
Asked by: jacqueline
Yes, you need to use an adapter. This is the adapters made for that housing, https://bhpho.to/3HUCZY6 .

Asked by: LORI
The Ewa-Marine U-AXP100 Underwater Housing is too large for zoom bridge cameras. We would need to know the exact camera you want to put in a housing. You could email us at [email protected] for help in choosing a housing for your camera.

question

Will this work with a Nikon D800 and what is the widest lens you can use? Will a 15mm work?
Asked by: Geoffrey
The D800 will certainly work but it will fit better with the optional battery grip. Not sure about the 15mm lens since I've never tried it on.

question

What's the maximum focal can be used without vignette ? My gear is Sony A7RII and FE1635
Asked by: Anonymous
Hi Dziung, there will always be vignetting of some sort while shooting underwater, but the limits on lenses in this housing are really the filter thread size (max is 82 mm) we recommend the widest possible settings to be used and framing where crops are possible.Hope this helps.All the best,Eric
