Introducing the Nauticam NA-R3 for the Canon EOS R3

Published 4 years agoon January 12, 2022

The Canon EOS R3 is one of the most exciting camera releases of the year in the underwater imaging world along with the Sony A1 and Nikon Z9. All three cameras represent the pinnacle of each manufacturer’s technological developments distilled into a pro-level hybrid-shooting mirrorless body.

Nauticam has continuously supported both the Canon pro-level DSLR lineup as well as the growing full-frame RF-mount mirrorless cameras with innovative underwater housings and the new NA-R3 is the combination of all those technologies. Blending elements of our 1D series housings with those for the R series, the NA-R3 will be the most capable housing for the R3 available.

Nauticam engineers design each housing to insure that controls are placed where they are needed most and within easy reach of a natural hand position. Dual thumb levers at each handle compliment the large control wheels and recessed levers to make sure you don’t miss a shot looking for the right dial or button. The NA-R3 offers even greater control with the addition of a shoulder dial on the right side to access the customizable control wheel of the EOS R3.

The NA-R3 features the M24 bulkhead to support both optional HDMI 2.0 and Surface Control over Ethernet via supported Nauticam accessories. Using an external monitor/recorder or other mounted accessories is even easier with the additional M10 threaded mount and 3 x 1/4″-20 threaded mounts on the top of the housing.

Built around the extensive Nauticam N120 RF-Mount Port System, the NA-R3 also has access to our lineup of Premium Professional Optics that can deliver an even greater level of image quality and expanded creative options. When used with the Canon RF 14-35 F/4 IL USM lens, the WACP-2 creates a stunning 140º field-of-view while maintaining an incredibly natural looking image and excellent corner sharpness. The SMC-1 delivers 2.3x macro magnification to the RF 100mm macro lens while the SMC-2 delivers 3.3x.
