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.
