This housing is specifically designed for the Sony a7R V and Sony a7 IV mirrorless cameras.

Do I need to purchase lens ports separately?

Yes, the AQUATECH EDGE Pro Housing is compatible with AquaTech's P-Series lens ports, which are sold separately. You will need to select the appropriate port for your lens.

How do I maintain the O-ring seals?

What is the warranty period for this product?

Can I use external flashes with this housing?

While the housing itself provides access to internal camera controls, compatibility with external flashes would depend on the specific mounting options and any necessary adapters or external flash triggers, which are typically sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Housing is not sealing properly

Check that the O-ring seal is clean, free of debris, and properly seated in its groove. Ensure the housing clips are fully engaged and secure.

Buttons are sticking or not responding

Rinse the housing exterior with fresh water. If the issue persists, inspect the buttons for any obstructions and consult the manual for specific cleaning instructions for button mechanisms.

Condensation inside the housing

Ensure the housing was completely dry before closing and that the camera was not excessively hot when placed inside. Use silica gel packs within the housing to absorb moisture. Avoid opening the housing in humid environments.

Difficulty attaching lens port

Verify you are using the correct P-Series lens port for your lens and that both the port and housing connection points are clean and free of obstructions.
