With your Sony Alpha a6300 or a6500 camera in Fantasea's FA6500 Underwater Housing, you can capture beautiful photos and video of the undersea world at depths as great as 200'. Dual fiber-optic ports enable the attachment of optional external strobes via the proper cables. One of these flash units could be placed on the cold shoe mount that sits atop the housing. Additionally, the FA6500 is equipped with an M16 port that allows for the installation of optional accessories and connectors, such as strobe bulkheads, HDMI video ports, or vacuum valves. The housing is equipped with a moisture detector and alarm that can prevent damage to your camera in the unlikely event of a leak.
The housing provides access to all essential camera functions via mechanical controls, including push buttons, dials, and a lever. Built for durability, it is constructed from injection-molded polycarbonate that's resistant to shock and corrosion.
The FA6400 ships without a required lens port and accepts interchangeable ports for various lenses. For full compatibility details, see the port chart.
