Welcome to our first review video, still super strange talking in front of the camera but hopefully it will get easier the more we do it.
Check out the video shot with this housing here: • Video

I've always hated using a GoPro and have never been super happy with the options and footage that come out of them when traveling. We decided to pickup a Seafrogs Underwater Housing for the Sony A7Riii/A7iii and give it a test in Hawaii.
Not going to lie, this housing was pretty impressive for the price and I think you'll find it more than does the job.

Check out the description for more info on the housing and for the video I ended up shooting in Hawaii
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Awesome video man! I am about to purchase one for myself through the link in your description and I was just wondering if the dome part came with the underwater housing or if it is separate. Thanks!
@@BenSaulsProductions Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! The link in the notes does come with the dome port!
@@DakotaJ666 Awesome thanks again! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
@@BenSaulsProductions Anytime man! Working on a color grading video now! Hope to have it up soon. Thanks!
Is the dome dry or a wetlens?
Great video broo 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
THANK YOU FRIEND, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Thanks for watching! 🤘
They also have a vacuum port option ($120). It's pricey but peace of mind and helps with the fogging issue.
Great review! I take mine diving all the time been down to 30 meters no worries!
Also, when you take the ports off, there should be a securing screw to make sure you don't accidentally unscrew it.
Great Video! Very well produced! Keep up the great work ;)
Thanks so much Gear Focus!
Awesome video. Great test footage. Keep it up because you’re definitely going to get some attention making great content like this 👍🏻👍🏻
So crazy! I was just checking out your stuff because I saw Matt Johnson posted you in his latest video, killer work btw! Thanks for the kind words man!
Swoon Creative Collective that’s awesome! Yeah I don’t see many reviews of underwater housings that are actually done well so it caught my eye. I subbed ✌🏻
@@AustinBlackvideo Awesome! Thank you! I actually just subbed to your channel as well (thought I did this already)
awesome stuff Cody ! definitely going to look this up ! amazing work as always man
Thank you my friend and thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words!
Loved the video, you got a new subscriber here. (Saw you on the a7iii FB group).
Thanks so much man! Stay tuned for some more videos!
loved that touch of the colour addition mate hahah well done! And love your vibe! keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words man! Hopefully going to be releasing new content in the coming weeks!
Sick, thanks for the review! A lot of vague content on the internet regarding sea frogs but good to see first hand view of it. Keep it up! Will def drop a sub
Anytime man! Thanks for watching and the sub!
This was a very informative video and would love to see more on lighting and audio. The background looks great Cody. Your so talented.
Thanks so much! I will definitely be doing some audio and lighting stuff coming up!
I thought the music was way too loud in this. Just saying. 😁
Very nice job man👌🏻
Hey, thanks so much! Super fun to make!
Nice review... I like it.. and i am your new subscriber..
Nice video bro! Keep pushing
Thanks duder!
loved the video man, but keeping in mind that normally you always look at the lens not the external monitor but hey it's well maded video and i really enjoy it :)
Haha yea! It’s hard not to peek up at it! Probably going to frame up everything and then turn it away before recording from now on.
Thank you!
Incredible Work ✌️
Hi!!! Not tat many reviews on these things, good job! Can you show more footage and tell about fitting lenses. Thinking to purchase a housing not sure which one, ie for which lens.
I'll have to do an updated review here soon! I only used it a couple of times!
I wonder if my Canon 17-40mm with Sigma MC-11 adapter will fit in this...
can't wait to test it out!
Hey! I just got one because this video. We had a question what lens do you have for you a7iii. The focus ring doesn’t fit with my 24-70 zeiss
I was actually using just the kit lens with mine but I’d try contacting sea frogs to see if they have one or looking to see if anyone has 3D printed one for your lens! Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for reviewing this item! I am currently thinking about buying this housing for my a7iii to start my underwater photography. Thank you Swoon Creative Collective !!!! To add, you did really good in your review. keep it going! Subscribed :)
great job man, very enjoyable watch! keep it up!
Thanks so much man! Really appreciate it!
so useful
Glad it was helpful!
If you took it off without unscrewing the security screw inside it means you broke it?? They just added a extension port for this so you can use the 70-200.
02:11 I came here, as is said below, because of lack of information. I have a different Sony the A7SII and on the camera body there is a push button on the top to release the mode wheel, not having lock release on housing makes the mode wheel pointless, I plan to mainly shoot video so I guess I'll never use the mode wheel. I guess there is no mode locking button on the other A7 cameras? 04:56 That's the wrong way round on my housing too! only worked it out by looking inside and it became obvious. Dhoh! ... And Thanks!
Great review man!
I'm looking into this housing right now and by now they have a Version 3 made of it...
I saw many reviews though where it leaked and I am SO unsure whether to buy it or not. I am also really on a budget right now...
Love the review though and if you have any tip, please let me know!
Phill
Thank you Phill! I have this exact one for sale right now since I no longer have any cameras for it! Send me a DM on insta! @thiscouldbelove
wow. LUT drop so hard.
Hahaha my favorite part of the video! Thanks for watching!
Cool Vidéo good job continue ! 👍
We're on the same field man. Weddings and corporate films. I like your video. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks so much man! Uploading some new stuff next week! Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Can you upload sample shots using this ? And I wonder if some 3rd party lenses like my canon 17-40 with mc11 with fit in here.
@@JericoLawrence Check out the video in the description, lots of footage in that. It really depends on the lens and size but it can fit some pretty big glass with the dome port.
I want to be the first to say it! This is going to be the next big film channel!!! Great content
I hope you're right!
I'm looking to buy this . And the a73 .can u give some more info what lense u use for that what brand ? Thanx good video
Hey! With this housing we just used the A7iii and kit lens combo and it actually works out pretty nice. You can obviously go for a more expensive lens but I didn’t mind the kit lens at all. Consider buying your items from our kit and support the channel! 😄
Hey, i'm looking to buy this housing but on their website it says -
Some camera functions are not available inside the unit:
- Front Dial below shutter release button
- Joystick button
You say you get access to all the controls? Do you get access to the joystick? that's the one I want to be able to use.
Cheers!
I should update this review to include which buttons and functions cannot be accessed. I just pulled out the housing and the joystick is not accessible but the buttons on the back scroll wheel , up down left right, are. The front dial is also not accessible. I hope that wasn't confusing haha!
Awesome review. On my way to check out your hawaii video. Really considering this housing unit for my R3, but maaaan the nerves I'm feeling about a potential leak ruining my camera haha
Can you use this for A7III with Sigma 24-70 mm f2.8 ?
Does it fit the A7III well ?
Hi! Thanks for your review. Can you tell me if it s possible to trigger a godox flash above water from this housing?
Ulrick Teissier Hey thanks! Im not entirely sure, it does come with a cable to attach to your hot shoe inside the housing but I’m not positive if you can trigger a godox flash this way. My guess would be a specialty flash and trigger made for underwater. Thanks for watching!
What camera did you use for filming this video
I believe it was the FS5ii/Atomos Shogun Inferno I used to have. The shots underwater were the A7iii.
new sub here, loved seeing what the camera and housing can do under water..
Omg i just discovered the channel , omg im so happy 😁, new follower fosho ,
Thanks so much. Really appreciate the sub!
Hey so I purchased this housing literally right after I saw your video haha. I am setting everything up now and I cannot for the life of me get the lens off to put on the dome port. I have tried twisting it both ways and so far no luck. I just wanted to see if you have found any tricks to help get the lens off because I feel like if I twist any harder I am going to break it. Thanks!
It is ridiculously tight! Try pressing in the red button and turning the opposite direction than the printed instructions on the lens housing say. It’s gonna feel wrong but it should start turning. If you can’t get it, my wife turned the lens housing while I held it. Hope this helps!
Swoon Creative Collective there is only a screw and tab inside! I just bought this and it arrived 15 minutes ago. Tried my tamron 28-75 in the one it came with. Doesn’t work. Switch out and put the dome on and it fits the lens now. Tried it in my pool. Works fine... for now! Which lens did you use to shoot this?
Sirius Cinema a screw and tab, I believe that’s to hold the collar that comes with it in place. I shot all this with the kit lens, believe it or not.
I am guessing this means the dome is a dry lens, not a wetlens?
Sirius Cinema how tightly did the tamron fit? Think a lens any bigger will work? Thinking about the sigma 20mm 1.4
Thanks for the video, that was super helpful. A question that came up for me is what lenses can you attach to the camera to fit inside the housing, or if its easier what lenses don't fit? Cheers
Thanks for the review! What would be a potential competitor?
do you know if it would work with the tamron 28-75mm?
thinking of getting this case for my a7sii, do you think it fits the sigma 35mm f1.4? it actually doesnt seem like it'll fit
Wish there was more sample footage.
nice work bra
Eyyyyy! Thank you!
It does this case fit for a tamron lens 28-75mm?
?
I can take my lens port off at all I turn every each way
Will it work for a7s 3
I’m not sure, I’d definitely look into an A7siii specific housing as I’m sure the body has changed.
Thanks for your quick response I have subscribed your channel
Did anyone else notice a screw preventing you from taking the port off of the housing?
There is a screw but even when it’s not engaged it is a very tight fit, but that is a good thing.
Underwater cases need a very different kind of review than this so I hope you upload in- depth video(s) on this case ASAP. You never state when vignetting occurs. At 16mm? At 20mm? 24mm? Does it come with extra gaskets? If not, how much are replacement? Is this the same unit sold as a Meikon?
We need better light and we need to see close up what the seals look like on the lens tubing. We need to see it removed and put back on. You almost went there but did not.
At 2:52 there's a vague mention of a "collar". Are you talking about a "wet lens"? Or something else? This alone is an important detail that needs more attention. And we need closeup explanations of that screw and tab.
Is there an issue with the eye-detector being trigger by the cup, thus shutting off the back LCD display? This is a common annoyance with dive cases.
It's really a shame these cases only come in black given the risk of loss, and, that black really heats up in sunlight. Sony already has heat issues. A hot case or hot camera taken under often results in internal condensation, which can trip that alarm. Yellow was the standard case color back in the day. And it should be again. If you lose it in the water, yellow shows up. And yellow keeps it cooler topside.
Thanks for the feedback! This was our first review and after it got so many views and was too late to pull I realized I missed a lot of points in this video. We are starting to script out our talking points and go more in depth with future gear reviews! The only way to get better is to fail, am I right?!
@@DakotaJ666 I hope you get it done soon. We have maybe another month and half of swimming weather in the northern hemisphere. Unless you live in Florida or something.
You bought a underwater housing before you ever bought more than one lens? Lmao nicely done sir
Lol, I own multiple cameras & the A7iii wasn’t even mine so sick comment dude! You’re the best & thanks for watching
Lmao you know my ass was already headed to the comments to complain about the color
Hahahah! So the intro worked!
5:10 I'd be easier if you opened the case bro!
This housing is very easy to fail. it takes a lot to service it
So that's why I can't get my port off!
Damn error in printing! I sat there forever and felt like I was going to break it haha!
@@DakotaJ666 mine actually has another bracket screwed on the inside to stop it rotating. Did yours have that?
