NA-X5 story continues

Featured Replies

So I have had Nauticams X5 housing under water in the wild finally. First impression on the boat was - amazing! Sharp as a knife with amazing contrast when viewed on the phone.

But then I came home and got it on the big screen. And on Apple Vision Pro. And the problems began to surface.

I knew about the stitching and actually in the blue it is not that bad. And they work with Insta (supposedly) to improve it.

But something very weird is going on in the optical department and it is consistent from multiple dives multiple days which precludes the camera being wrong positioned inside of the housing if that would be even possible (it is quite tight in it).

Long story short - the regions close to stitch line maintain excellent sharpness from near to far, something that has been advertised by Nauticam. But the regions farther from stitch lines - or in between , like in the middle of the 180deg image - are blurry from near to far. Very weird and kinda confirming the something in the optical department is off.

So for now cant recommend it to anyone.
