EX1R Video Housing
HD Imaging for the Discerning Professional-and more
On the heels of the workhorse EX1, The Gates EX1R is revised and improved for the underwater professional. New to the EX1R is support for larger batteries and external recording units (e.g. nonFlash). Adjustable trim weights afford perfect balance and trim. Gates Precision ports, HD-SDI surface feed and EM43 high resolution monitor are selectable features that contribute to the sharpest subsea HD images. The EX1R is classic Gates heritage: durable ‘bulletproof’ machined aluminum, 100% reliable mechanical controls and 2 year renewable warranty.
Reaching the far corners of the globe, Gates housings are tasked with critical projects extending from marine research and military to television and cinema productions. Experts know that failure is not an option, so they never take a chance…. they take a Gates!
