Diveavenue's expert opinion in MARELUX MX-A1 waterproof housing

We tested the MX-A1 for you during wildlife photography sessions where speed is of the essence. What we particularly like is how well-balanced the housing feels in the hand, which helps reduce fatigue during long waits out in the open water. The green seal system is a real safety feature: even the slightest speck of dust is visible before you even close the housing. It’s a reliable tool that lets you focus on the image rather than on watertightness, whilst offering exemplary modularity to grow with your lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the remote control allow you to navigate all the menus on the Sony A1 ? Yes, Marelux’s engineering ensures that every button and dial on the body is accessible, including the custom functions that are essential in video or photo mode.

Which flashes are compatible with the optical fibre output ? Most current models, such as the Inon Z330 or Sea&Sea YS-D3, work perfectly with the internal trigger for synchronised firing.

Can you change the lens without taking the camera out of the housing ? Thanks to the 125 mm port, you can remove the lens from the front once the cover has been removed, which makes handling it in the field much easier.
