Product Information

The Fantasea NP-FW50 Cradle C is a battery extender cradle that connects an additional NP-FW50 battery to a compatible camera inside an underwater housing, giving the camera extended battery life on longer dives. It connects to the camera's Micro USB port and can be mounted on the camera's hot-shoe mount for a secure position inside the housing, and it is built from polycarbonate at 20 g (0.7 oz).

Who it is for

This cradle is for divers and underwater photographers who shoot with Fantasea Mirrorless Housing models equipped with Fantasea's Hybrid Vacuum Safety System M16A and who want to extend their camera's battery life during a dive. It is intended for use with cameras that have a Micro USB port and that can operate while connected to a charger, and it is only usable if the housing has enough internal space for the cradle's size and cable length.

Key details

Connects an additional NP-FW50 battery to the camera via the camera's Micro USB port.
Can be mounted on the camera's hot-shoe mount for a secure position inside the housing, or secured elsewhere in the housing if space allows.
If mounted on the hot-shoe, the cradle blocks the camera's hot-shoe connection; mounting it elsewhere in the housing can avoid this, depending on the housing model.
Main unit dimensions: 55 x 37 x 25 mm (2.16 x 1.46 x 0.98 inch).
Weight: 20 g (0.7 oz).
Material: polycarbonate.
NP-FW50 battery is not included.

Compatibility and sizing

The NP-FW50 Cradle C is compatible with Fantasea's Mirrorless Housing models equipped with Fantasea's Hybrid Vacuum Safety System M16A, provided the housing has sufficient space to accommodate the cradle. Before purchasing, check the cradle's dimensions and cable length against the available space in your specific housing model, and confirm your camera has a Micro USB port that allows operation while connected to a charger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Fantasea NP-FW50 Cradle C include the battery?

No, the battery is not included. You supply your own additional NP-FW50 battery, which the cradle connects to the camera inside the housing.

Will the NP-FW50 Cradle C block my camera's hot-shoe?

Yes, if you mount the cradle on the camera's hot-shoe, it will block that hot-shoe connection. Depending on the specific housing model, the cradle can instead be secured elsewhere inside the housing without blocking the hot-shoe, as long as there is sufficient space.

Which housings work with the NP-FW50 Cradle C?

The NP-FW50 Cradle C is compatible with Fantasea's Mirrorless Housing models that are equipped with Fantasea's Hybrid Vacuum Safety System M16A. Compatibility also depends on whether the housing has enough internal space to fit the cradle's size and cable length.

What camera requirements does the NP-FW50 Cradle C have?

The cradle requires a camera equipped with a Micro USB port, and the camera must be able to operate while connected to a charger through that port. This is necessary for the cradle to connect the additional NP-FW50 battery and extend the camera's runtime inside the housing.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.

New to this hanger...Now I'm a believer

Used tons of dive hangers, but never an upside down hanger. Game-changer for me. Will now add more of these in the near-future.

With it's swivel head design, it can cram itself into my tight dive locker, while still donning a ton of gear.

DiveCatalog's "Upside Down Drysuit Hanger w/ Regulator and Accessory Hooks" is a great product with solid construction at an affordable price. All of that with Dive Catalog's customer support/satisfaction guarantee.
