SEA&SEA 06187 MDX-D850 Housing for Nikon D850 with Leak Sensor
Product Details
Much lighter than previous housings. Using unprecedented precision machining, the dimensions of the housing are similar to those of the camera. In addition, the revised internal design has also helped reduce weight. The MDX-D850 is approximately 11% (350g/12.3oz) lighter than the previous MDX-D810 housing.
Various controls can be operated whilst holding the grips. Frequently used Main and Sub-Command dials are now located directly on the right side of the housing. ISO, REC and other camera functions can be operated by external levers whilst holding the grips. With the AF lock function, you can fix the focus point as required.
Optical YS Converter/N1 can be built into the housing
Compatible with Optical YS Converter/N1 for MDX housing which converts the camera’s hot-shoeTTL signal to a light signal. Both TTL and manual strobe modes can be used and controlled from the housing using a Fiber-Optic Cable II. Fibre Optic Cable ll is required when using the Optical YS Converter.
Serial numbers 124000274 and above are compatible with the Nikon D850. Serial numbers below 124000274 are not compatible. New firmware and/or conversion of the converter will be required.
All the dials have a spring (damper) to prevent slip of the controls even if the dimensions of the cameras are slightly different or even if gears or other parts wear out to some extent.
