Sea and Sea Canon 5D Mark3 conversion kit to Canon 5D Mark4

[Ambassador Divers]

When I purchased my new Canon 5D Mark4, I was super excited that it was only 1mm smaller than the Mark3. Could it be possible that for once in my life I don't need to buy a new housing? The answer is YES!!!! I was excited that with a few minor modifications I was able to make it work in my Ikelite Mark3 housing. Here's the thing, I also have a Sea and Sea Mark3 housing and it didn't fit.....and it's the one that I really want to use...sorry Ikelite. After some research I found a Chinese photographer that made a conversion kit. Long story short, it works beautifully, and it only cost 130 bucks!!

I put together this video to explain the process, I hope it helps some of you save some cash if your looking to upgrade. This kit works specifically with the first generation Sea&Sea Mark3 housing.
Here's a link to the video.
Happy Diving!

It’s been some years, the video link is no longer working. I’ve been looking everywhere on how to do this for my sea and sea MDX 5D mkiii ver 2 housing. Was yours the ver 2? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated! Do you still have the information on where you ordered the conversion kit? And without it would I be able to use a mkIV at all, maybe without full function?

Just re-read where you had the first version. Still wondering if the same place has a conversion kit for ver 2. And if the video is somewhere I’d still like to see it
