DEEP RED Housing

4K Digital Cinema Underwater Imaging

................................


 


“My collaboration with Gates has resulted in a state-of-the-art underwater housing for the state-of-the-art professional motion picture camera. My DEEP RED system has four times the resolution of my, now retired, Sony 900 camera, weighs 25 pounds less, and will handle my deepest trimix dives!”
