DSLR photo/video cameras today can rival or even surpass large format cine cameras in pure image quality, but are perhaps more suited to on-the-go shooting: In very deep waters, freediving in the surf, in tight spaces, macro, for remote locations, travel and lightweight transportation requirements. We offer several types of housings and 4K - 8K cameras from Canon, Sony, Nikon and Panasonic. Some of these can be fully operated via remote cable control.

This camera and housing combination arguably delivers the highest optical resolution currently achievable underwater. Utilizing RED's full-frame Monstro sensor, this system captures raw 8K (8192 x 4320) at 60 fps. In conjunction with Nikonos RS underwater specialty lenses, we achieve unparalleled edge-to-edge corner sharpness, even at F2.8. This level of precision is unattainable with even the most superior glass domes. Although the final masters are delivered in 4K or HD, the initial 8K capture allows for versatile reframing in post-production, resulting in uniquely detailed images. On location, the system can be swiftly set up and dismantled in minutes, featuring quick-swap batteries and recording media changes while the camera is securely mounted in the housing. Lens changes can be executed in seconds. The compact size and lightweight design of this setup significantly reduces water resistance, particularly during free diving. With the internal RED monitor back, the complete system competes favorably with DSLR housings in terms of size and weight, yet it offers superior underwater balance and handling. Available lenses include a 13mm/F2.8 fisheye, 20-35mm/F2.8, 28mm/F2.8, and a 50mm/F2.8 1:1 macro.

We provide housings that are custom made to fit specialty cameras, for remote or high risk placement, long duration time lapse and other irregular types of setups.
