Diveavenue's expert opinion for MARELUX MX-RX100M7 Waterproof Housing

We tested this housing on reefs, and its light weight is a real asset for photographers who travel light without compromising on quality. What I particularly like is that, despite its small size, it retains all the safety features found in professional models, such as the vacuum system. It’s the ideal tool for those who want a minimalist setup that’s still capable of handling technical diving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can macro lenses be fitted to this housing ? Yes, the flat porthole has a standard thread, allowing you to screw on wet lenses for macro photography. This means you can switch between different optical attachments whilst underwater.

Is the housing compatible with earlier versions of the RX100 ? This model is specifically designed to fit the dimensions and button layout of the Sony RX100 VII. We cannot guarantee that earlier versions will fit perfectly.

How can you tell if the tank is properly closed before jumping into the water ? The built-in vacuum alarm provides a clear visual signal. Once you have created a vacuum using the pump, a green light confirms that the seal is intact, thus preventing any unpleasant surprises.
