Nauticam announces a Cooling Fan System for the NA-R5 II Underwater Housing

Remember the Canon EOS R5? It was a revolutionary camera, but its Achilles' heel was its tendency to overheat, especially when shooting high-resolution video. Canon addressed this with the R5 Mark II, significantly improving its thermal management. However, for those pushing the boundaries of underwater videography, every minute of recording time is precious.

That's where Nauticam's innovative Cooling Fan System comes in. This patent-pending technology, integrated directly into the Nauticam NA-R5II housing, takes cooling to a whole new level. No more worrying about recording limits, no more cutting your dives short due to overheating fears.

How Does it Work?

This isn't just a simple fan inserted into a housing. Nauticam has engineered a sophisticated system powered by two rechargeable AA batteries. A dedicated button on the back of the housing allows you to activate the fan with a simple thumb press, even while maintaining a firm grip. LED indicators provide real-time feedback on fan and battery status, so you're always in control.

Why is This a Big Deal?

Think of it like this: the Cooling Fan System is like having a miniature air conditioning unit for your camera. It allows you to maximize the R5 Mark II's impressive video capabilities without the constraints of overheating. Whether you're shooting in 8K, 4K, or any other mode, this system ensures you can capture those epic underwater moments without interruption.

Nauticam NA-R5II Housing: A Perfect Match for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II

Of course, the Cooling Fan System is just one part of the equation. It's designed to work seamlessly with the NA-R5II housing, which itself is a masterpiece of underwater engineering.

Key Features of the NA-R5II Housing

  • Ergonomics: Nauticam is renowned for its ergonomic designs, and the NA-R5II housing is no exception. Every button and control is carefully placed for intuitive operation, even with thick gloves.
  • Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of underwater environments, the housing is constructed from high-quality materials and features Nauticam's signature port locking system for a secure and reliable seal.
  • Versatility: The NA-R5II housing is compatible with Nauticam's extensive range of accessories and optics, allowing you to customize your setup for any underwater shooting scenario.
