Point of View 4K Remote Imaging
Successor to the highly successful HMR10/HCK10 POV HD Housing, the new Gates POV CAM is a 4K Point Of View system with remarkable UHD imaging from up to 60ft / 20m away. POV CAM is perfectly suited for remote imaging applications where distance and/or small camera size are important. Like a highly maneuverable pole cam for an up close and personal underwater Polar Bear shot. A tight cenote passage ahead can be inspected before attempting entry. Or how about POV action of a shark feed with the UCK20 camera housing in the frenzy? POV CAM has countless Natural History, research, military and broadcast applications. What will you do with POV CAM?
The POV CAM system of course includes Gates legendary 2 year warranty and customer support. Reliability, durability, dependability – the Gates hallmark for 50 years.
Don't take a chance…. take a Gates!

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.
