Gates MINI LF Housing: The Underwater Imaging Chameleon
Cinema, TV, Natural History, whatever: configure the MINI LF Housing to suit your needs. Diver independent operation or complete surface DP control. Virtually any lens, cinema / anamorphic / DSLR. 8 and 10" Dome / Flat Ports. And shoot either ARRI ALEXA Mini or Mini LF cameras.
Like it's predecessor, the MINI LF is a deeply integrated marine imaging system, blurring the lines between housing and camera. Twelve user-assignable controls interface directly with the ARRI Mini allowing access to frequently used functions like white balance, peaking, display overlay, and frame rate. Gates familiar mechanical Focus / Iris / Zoom controls provide precision handling of hundreds of LPL, PL, Anamorphic and DSLR lenses with the same adaptable Lens Gear Drive system found in the Gates cinema-grade family.
When setup with Gates SPR80 Stackable Port Ring system, the MINI LF Housing is a compact kit. Travel friendly in two carry-on size cases. The larger SPR110 Stackable Port Rings accommodate ARRI cForce mini motors, giving the topside DP full lens and camera control. Add SDI surface video for complete surface operational command and control.
The MINI LF is Gates through-and-through: durable machined aluminum, stainless construction; clean, uncomplicated, user friendly design; Gates precision ports for clear, sharp images; extensive line of accessories and custom configurations; and Seal Check II for housing integrity verification. Experts know that failure is not an option, so they never take a chance…. they take a Gates!
MINI to MINI LF Housing upgrade is available. Contact Gates for full details.

Port Options
The best camera in the world can't make up for poor optics. Poor optical design and materials introduce ‘image killers’ – distortions, aberrations, degraded resolution, or vignetting. Gates family of Precision Ports are sharp and clear: the finest optics for the finest underwater images. No image killers. Professional to amateur, super wide to macro, Gates Precision Ports suit a wide range of needs, conditions and experience. Of course all ports are backed by our legendary customer support and the same standard of excellence expected of all Gates products.

Gates Recommended Lenses for Flat and Dome Ports
At a remarkable 12.6 in / 320 mm diameter, the SP110-12 stands alone, a new standard in underwater optics. Optical glass with anti-reflective coating, SP110-12 is designed for rectilinear cinema lenses, yet equally at home in natural history applications where split shots and close focus are key parameters. ARRI Master Primes, Fujinon Cinema Zoom's and Anamorphic Lenses all benefit from this superior, 'no compromises' Dome Port. The SP110-12 is available in Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass only. For medium to wide and fisheye imaging, the SP110-12 excels at rectilinear imaging, particularly with PL mount cinema lenses. The SP110-12 is made of optically pure BK7 Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass domes. The SP110-12 is compatible with hundreds of lenses. Click the link above to Gate Lens Compatibility Reference.
