decostanza 2 Posted March 15, 2018 I am very curious to hear what experiences others have had using Sea&Sea housings? I am looking to upgrade the housing I use with my Canon 5D MKIV. Thanks for any tips or input you may have. Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogerholmesuk 1 Posted March 15, 2018 For your camera or overall experience. For Sony RX100 the MDX is fantastic, built well, solid delirium gears inside , and i it never flooded. Bullet proof from my angle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garyyoss 6 Posted March 15, 2018 I've had two Sea and Sea Housings both have kept my cameras safe from flooding and have always been reliable mechanically. The first was an MDX-D300 with no problems and currently an MDX-D800. Unfortunately the blue finish of the D800 housing didn't hold up as well as the black on the D300. I'm currently looking to house a recently acquired D500 and am probably going to drink the Kool Aid and go the Nauticam route. The Sea and Sea and Nauticam housings are basically the same price but the ergonomics seem a bit better on the Nauticam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decostanza 2 Posted March 15, 2018 Thank you Rogerholmesuk and Garyyoss, I appreciate the time you took and the insight you shared. I know Nauticam and Aquatica seem to be what the majority use and thus why I thought I would look into the Sea&Sea given the price-point is very similar.

vigfus 2 Posted March 18, 2018 I've used the S&S MDX-7000 for a couple of years and have been really happy with it. I haven't tried any other dSLR housings, but this one has been solid with easy access to features and easily handled when I've needed to change battery on the smaller traditional boats in SE Asia.

Larry C 24 Posted March 20, 2018 I've been very happy with both the Sea & Sea on my D300 and my Nauticam for the D500. They're both well made and sturdy. I had a couple of issues with the Sea & Sea. One was that it had a combination lever for the back focus button. You had to pull and twist it for that function and the little screw came off the end of mine a couple of times, leaving the shaft loose underwater and held by only the o-ring. I had to keep my finger over the end of the lever until I got it out of the water to prevent a flood. Other than that, it was terrific. I find the Nauticam has a little more access to some of the controls I use most, which was why I bought it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decostanza 2 Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks Vigfus and Larry C for your input. Based on the comments of this thread and everyone’s experiences I am moving forward with getting one from Sea & Sea. Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
