Housing O-Ring 90128

Nauticam first "endorsed" the LX series in early 2011 with the LX5, recognising the image quality and performance of this compact system. The housing for the LX7 followed in 2013 and the NA-LX10 benefits from this lineage and is the most refined of the LX housings to date. This is a compact underwater housing that allows the user to realise the full potential of the advanced compact camera in the water. All the basic features and ergonomic improvements that Nauticam users have come to know and love are built into NA-LX10.  The housing is made from a solid block of aluminium and then hard anodised to seal out corrosive salt water.  It is closed by a simple but secure locking twist latch. The right side of the housing is shaped to fit in the palm of the user's hand, and Nauticam's two-stage release lever allows clear distinction between the half-pressure and full-pressure positions.  All functions are clearly labelled and an m14 accessory socket allows the installation of an optional vacuum valve. The LX10 camera presents some unique challenges to the housing designer - in particular the aperture ring, aspect ratio control and on/off switch. Although this requires pre-setting these three controls when installing and removing the camera, this housing gives the user complete and very ergonomic control over these important functions and even goes so far as to label the stops/positions for all three controls. The zoom lever is positioned for easy access and allows the video producer to zoom smoothly. A locking ring prevents overzoom when using the short connector. This housing also includes grip mounts and a shutter release extension for use with the optional Flexitray or Easitray, which provides extra stability - important when shooting high-definition video. The Nauticam leak alarm and vacuum monitoring system is installed as standard. This system gives an audible and visual alarm whenever water enters the enclosure, and when combined with an additional M14 vacuum valve (#25624), the watertight integrity of the system can be tested before entering the water and monitored during each dive. Integrated vacuum check and leakage warning system The Nauticam vacuum testing and leakage warning system is supplied as standard with NA-LX10.  In combination with an additional vacuum valve, this monitoring system provides constantly updated information on the watertight and safe diving condition of the enclosure.  A simple colour-coded LED lighting system indicates to the user that the internal pressure is constant or if the enclosure is losing vacuum. Leak detection is integrated into the same circuit so that an audible and visual indication is given in the event of water ingress. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated and eliminates false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature or by a camera heating up during an action-packed dive.
