The Sony Alpha a7R IV, a9 II is a pleasure to shoot with 5-axis image stabilization and a powerful hybrid autofocus system. Images are captured using a brand new 61 megapixel full frame BSI-CMOS sensor. Sony advertises the camera as having 15 stops of dynamic range for vivid color gradations and detailed image capture. For videographers, the a7R IV is capable of oversampled 4K/30p video with real-time eye AF.
Compared to previous models, Sony gave the IV a much deeper grip and redesigned and repositioned the controls for better topside ergonomics. These changes prevent the IV from operating in housings made for earlier models.
The camera's CIPA battery life is 670 shots using the LCD or 530 using the electronic viewfinder.
Pre-Dive Checks
There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Our signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.
We recommend adding the optional Vacuum Kit with Gauge # 47011 to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.
Construction
Our specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminium. The light colour keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.
Lens Support
Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.
We support a wide variety of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and select focus rings can be engaged using simple gearing that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using.
Lens ports and zoom gears sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.
Wi-Fi Transfer
Use the camera's built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.
Compatibility
Unless otherwise noted, this housing does not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips, eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.
Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in or adapted to this housing. We are not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
