You guys make a hell of a solid product -- it’s a tank. It has taken all the abuse from a Zodiac to deep depths to being in a tiger sharks mouth.
Minimal setup work and an incredible field of view w/ the 120 degree super wide lens. Excellent for tight areas and for trying to get everything in the shot . No buttons to get jammed or sucked in.
Perfect controls. Thanks so much for all the help and support. Its good to know you guys are there ...

My XH A1 Gates housing is the real deep underwater working horse. Over 3 years I owning it, I just continue to be amazed at its perfectly neutral buoyancy through all depths. I really enjoy its 'clip and forget' style through all long decompressions on technical dives. And you are right, it is 'bulletproof'. Many times we went through 'short' bumpy waves on a small boat. There was no need to do additional setup or corrections of controls or lens cleaning (fog? Forget it!) - Just go straight to the water. Simply do not ask me what housing I would recommend – You already know the answer!
Nick Hope of Bubblevisions poses with his Gates VX2000 housing.
"A hard schedule of shooting in Thailand and Burma demands a strong, reliable housing for my VX2000, with no electronic controls to malfunction in the field. Having been disappointed with housings from high-profile manufacturers, the Gates VX2000 housing was exactly what I was looking for. It's also given me great results and never let me down. Gates are also the most helpful of any manufacturer I've dealt with.”

"We chose a Gates housing to document underwater activities by researchers at HARBOR BRANCH. The reliabiliity of manual controls was an important consideration, as working with our research vessels and submersibles takes us far from shore, where there are no repair facilities, delivery service or other such conveniences. I have enjoyed working behind the camera in our Gates housing from the Galapagos to the Gulf of Maine. C6, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin successfully rehabed at HARBOR BRANCH after being attacked by sharks looks like he enjoys being in front of the camera at least as much.

"The quality, engineering, balance and usability of my Gates housing (VX2000) is superb. That and their great customer service is a winning combination."

"I've used a Gates housing for my Sony 3-chip camera for two recent commercial productions and have been very pleased with its performance. In the past year and a half I filmed a video for Viking dry suits and also produced our own, California Lobster Diving, the video, released on DVD. Currently, we're filming Dry Suit Diving in Depth. I've been extremely happy with the finish, balance, controls, and reliability of my Gates system."

“With over 100 hours of underwater use of my Gates Housing I assure you that the simple yet rugged design works flawless. You really have complete control of so many camera features without ever needing to open the housing. One of the best facts about the Gates Housing is that it allows me to use my camera LCD instead of spending hundreds like so many other housings require.”

"With hectic two week schedules I can’t afford using equipment that can fail in fact I don’t even have time for proper maintenance. My Gates housing takes my abuse and keeps on going. No missed shots from electric buttons failing or the need to carry around several spare handles means I will only visit UnderWater Destinations with Gates"
“GATES reliable mechanical controls are lean and easy to use. That’s why I choose Gates to be my very first video housing. Unlike electronics systems, Gates always works in the high temperature and humidity found in my native Thailand.”
"At uwdigitalvideos we take great pleasure in opening the doors of one of nature's most beautiful creations for you. Thanks to Gates for making it easy and enjoyable!"
