Done approx. 30-35 dives. No scratches because I fitted a simple tray to protect the back (see photo). Always carefully rinsed and water blown off after each dive. I can throw in the tray…!

M14 Vacuum Valve (fitted) and Sony manual LED flash trigger included, along with original bag, tools, pump, body cap, O ring and grease etc. See photos.

Reason for selling: I upgraded from Sony APS-C to FF and bought an A7CR and housing, which I was quite happy with. I wanted a 2^nd camera so I bought the A7RV, and then thought I might as well get a 2^nd housing for it.

But for me, weight is really important, and I found myself nearly always choosing the A7CR rig, which is 1.1 kg lighter than the A7RV rig. So although the A7RV + housing are demonstrably better designed / have more features, the fact is I don’t notice any appreciable shooting difference underwater.

So while I don’t have to sell the A7RV housing, I don’t need it either.

Prices: at the time of placing this ad, Backscatter and Nauticam websites list the housing at USD 4800, flash trigger USD 330, vac valve USD 240; total USD 5370.

I am asking AUD 5000 total, which is USD 3300 at 0.66.

 

Other items which will be for sale if anyone is interested: my A7RV body (VGC with low shutter count) – I would keep it but it makes more sense to buy a 2^nd A7CR body; Nauticam N120 8.5” dome in good condition.

I have adjusted the price as follows:

For Australian buyers, or anyone who can visit to inspect and pickup: AUD 4500, and I will include postage within Australia and Paypal fees if applicable (housing is in Geelong, Victoria).

For overseas buyers (excluding US), have to check, but I think I can throw in shipping by air (is that airing?), plus insurance, plus Paypal fees for AUD $5000. If there are any duties you have to pay at your end, that would be your responsibility.

For US buyers, I can't keep up with what taxes you now have to pay. For AUD 5000 I can throw in shipping by air, insurance and Paypal fees, but if I have to pay your taxes as the sender, as was suggested a few months ago, that would have to be extra. Same applies to anything else you pay at your end.

A good deal at the above, given the low value of the AUD against other currencies.

Update for US buyers: I had someone from the US enquire, so I did a bit more research. I found:

Good news: if it's over USD 800, buyer pays the tariff (not me) (tariff applies)

Very bad news: when sending the item, I have to fill out a customs declaration form which goes to US Customs. On that I have to enter a product code. The closest is 'optical goods', but guess what, they are a prohibited import (no doubt to protect the US' huge camera industry)!

I can't risk entering another code and having US Customs reject and return the item.

So dear US buyers, if there's somewhere outside the US I can ship to for you, that might work; but otherwise... can't do.

Sold on eBay.

I have some other items I may sell, but won't do the full photo thing unless there is interest:

Nauticam N120 8.5" acrylic dome AUD $450 plus post.

Nauticam N120 10mm extension with screws AUD $175 plus post

Nauticam N100 to N120 35mm adapter with knob (current model)... offers. I want one without the knob...

and, maybe (can't decide): my A7RV body. Perfect condition, low shutter count. Offers considered.

Sorry, can't ship to buyers in the US. It's just too hard.

Things are clearly very strange in the USA right now. Apologies.

Remember the time when US sellers wouldn’t sell to potential buyers in Europe? Best of luck for 2026, my US friends…..
