MDX-7D

for Canon EOS 7D

Product No. 06152

Features

Compatible with both the VF180 1.2x and VF45 1.2x viewfinders

By attaching the VF180 or the VF45 prism viewfinder (magnification ratio of 1.2x) to a SEA&SEA housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and entire field of view can be seen at the same time. Recommended for users committed to strict composition and focusing.

Two Fiber-optic cable sockets

Simply by connecting the Fiber-Optic Cable (L-type)50107 to the connector, the light of the digital camera’s built-in flash is detected and connected to an external strobe. This is considerably less complicated than setting up an electrical connector that requires detailed knowledge. It also eliminates any risks involved when the connector is submerged in water.

Suitable for taking both still images and movie

Unparalleled design provides easy access to the main dial and the quick control dial. Shutter speed and aperture can be adjusted without removing your hand from the grip. Button to activate live view photography and video is ergonomically positioned for easy access. While holding the grip, you can control AE lock / Index / Reduce lever and AF point selection / Magnify lever and AF start lever to check focus points and then press the start / stop button to record video. The setting button is also situated close to the grip for quick access to the button. Great functionality, engineering and ergonomic design make this housing exceptional.
