Deep Epic Video Housing
5K Digital Cinema Underwater Imaging
Following the success of Gates DEEP RED housing, DEEP EPIC is the next generation of underwater digital cinema imaging. Support for a wide
range of PL and SLR glass, external monitor, adjustable grips at fingertip focus / iris / zoom controls, and adjustable buoyancy / trim
are carried forward. DEEP EPIC is also smaller and lighter than its big brother DEEP RED and includes the REDMOTE Controller, providing
comprehensive camera control via the RDCC™ REDMOTE™. And Gates Precision Ports mean no-compromises image quality.
Reaching the far corners of the globe, Gates housings are tasked with high profile broadcast and cinema productions. Professionals know that
failure is not an option, so they never take a chance…. they take a Gates!
