Megadap’s Adapter is Revolutionizing Photography and Filmmaking on Earth and in Space

Megadap has quite literally achieved new heights. The company’s ETZ21 Pro adapter has recently made its debut in space aboard NASA’s International Space Station (ISS).

The adapter is designed to bridge the gap between different camera systems. This remarkable achievement underscores the adapter’s reliability and versatility, proving that it can withstand even the most extreme environments.

Megadap in Space

NASA astronaut Don Pettit recently captured stunning images of Earth from the ISS using a Nikon Z9 camera paired with a Sigma 14mm f/1.4 lens. While the Sigma lens isn’t natively available in Nikon Z mount, the Megadap ETZ21 adapter made this pairing possible. The adapter seamlessly connected the Sony E-mount Sigma lens to the Nikon Z9, enabling Pettit to achieve breathtaking shots of Earth from the ISS.

The EXIF data from the images confirmed the ETZ21’s role in this collaboration, showcasing its ability to maintain autofocus and aperture control even in the challenging conditions of space. For Megadap, this was a moment of immense pride.

“We are incredibly honoured and excited to see our ETZ21 adapter being used in such an extraordinary environment,” said Mr Xia, Founder of Megadap. “It’s a testament to the reliability and performance of our adapters that they meet the rigorous demands of space photography.”

A Game-Changer for Photographers and Filmmakers

The ETZ21 Pro adapter is also transforming the way photographers and filmmakers work on Earth. Designed to allow Sony E lenses to be used on Nikon Z series cameras, the adapter retains autofocus and aperture control, offering versatility. Its robust design and precise engineering have made it a favourite among professionals seeking to expand their creative possibilities.

The company has also announced compatibility between its ETZ21 Pro and EFTZ21 adapters and the latest RED Cinema Cameras featuring a Nikon Z mount. This breakthrough opens up a world of creative opportunities for filmmakers, allowing them to use a wide range of lenses on their RED cameras, no matter what mount the camera has. Whether shooting a blockbuster film or an indie project, filmmakers can now enjoy greater flexibility and lens choices than ever before.

“We are committed to providing filmmakers with the tools they need to achieve their creative vision,” added Mr. Xia. The compatibility of our adapters with RED Cinema Cameras in Nikon Z mount is a significant step in that direction.

Integration Between Camera Systems

The ETZ21 Pro and EFTZ21 adapters are engineered to deliver seamless integration between camera systems, making sure that users can focus on their craft without worrying about technical limitations. With one of the best compatibility rates in the market, Megadap’s adapters allow lenses to retain most of their features when used on different camera bodies.

For photographers and filmmakers, this means freedom—the freedom to experiment, to push boundaries, and to create without constraints. Whether you’re capturing the vastness of space or the intimacy of a close-up shot, Megadap’s adapters empower you to bring your vision to life.
