AOI UH-EM5III for Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark III

[turandot]

Good news for Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark III users.... AOI UH-EM5III will be released shortly.

These are the possible specifications:

- Port system: OM-D Mount ( extended to the Olympus OM-D system)
- Depth Rating: 60M / 157FT.
- Housing Body: Polycarbonate
- Vacuum valve is built in with USB-C charging.
- Double-layer Oring protection.
- There is no built in flash trigger. It’ll be a separate purchase. ( AOI STR-003 flash trigger ?? )


The housing AOI UH-EM5III have the same OM-D Mount that Olympus Housing PT-EP08/11/14 series.

For M.Zuiko 8mm PRO lens Backscatter recommended AOI DLP-07 / 08 (8 inch) without extension ring setup for best image corner sharpness and AOI DLP-01 / 02 (4 inch) + AOI 22mm Extension Ring when smallest travel size is primary requirement.

I have read the AOI Ports Chart and it's also possible to mount AOI DLP-05 / 06 (4 inch) + AOI 22mm Extension Ring for M.Zuiko 8mm PRO lens.

I think the INON Dome Port EP02 for Olympus OMD may be a good choice for wide-angle with 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO.

Turandot: Any idea of the advantages of this housing over other ones? I have always used Olympus due to the cost and reliability of them.

There is no Olympus underwater housing for the EM5 Mark III model. AOI is the manufacturer of Olympus housings. Advantage over others? The price, more cheaper than aluminum housings. Includes humidity alarm and vacuum valve.
