Seacam announces their Canon R5 Mark II Underwater Housing

Since the release of Canon's much anticipated upgrade to the hugely popular Canon R5, namely the Canon R5 Mark II, underwater housing manufacturers have been hard at work getting out there versions to accomodate the camera underwater.

Seacam is the latest manufacturer to release their housing. Since 1989 Seacam has been crafting elegant housing, with their signature Silver finishes. Their latest housing for the R5 Mark II is no different. The Seacam Canon R5 Mark II housing is made of strong, precisely-engineered aluminum that is made to work best and last the longest in underwater settings. Its ergonomic form and full set of controls make it easier than ever to use the camera's features.
