Italian brand Isotta has unveiled their latest custodia—a housing for the Nikon Z50 II. The Z50 II retained the 21MP DX-format sensor but received Nikon’s latest EXPEED 7 image processor. In particular, this boosted AF performance, bringing 3D tracking and Z9-level subject detection to the cropped-sensor model. The second-generation mirrorless camera also now supports the recording of 10-bit and N-Log video—a first for a DX-format camera.

The new housing offers all the signature Isotta features: anodized aluminum construction, integrated adjustable handles, double O-ring seals on buttons and removable parts, one-handed open/close, built-in moisture detector, and dual fiber-optic ports as standard. For those preferring to trigger strobes electrically, the housing can be configured with one or two Nikonos N5 or S6 bulkheads, or one of each. The three M16 ports can also be used for accessories such as vacuum systems and monitors (via HDMI 1.4). In addition, the standard viewfinder can be switched out for other options in Isotta’s range, and INON X-2 viewfinders are also compatible.
