With an ACS award for Innovative Equipment Design, Simon Christidis has developed a revolutionary
brand of ultra light, water tight carbon fibre housings, which incorporate WETPORT™
technology, which allows you to move from below the water to above water, and film at the waterline without visible run-off or droplets of water on the lens.
- 16mm, 35mm, Digibetacam and Hi Def housings available
- Totally riggable as a protective housing (eg. dust, sand)
- Light enough to be used handheld all day
- A range of splash boxes and protective gear also available
1. WETPORT™
- Unique WETPORT™ system means no annoying water droplets on the lense
- Casing can be used under and around water with a maximum depth of 10 metres.
- This revolutionary port gives a natural look removing the need for compressed air to force away water droplets.
- Standard dive weights, available anywhere in the world, can be used as ballast to sink the housing.
- Balance is achieved using a trimming system, once balance is achieved you can glide through the water.
2. HANDHELD
- Weighing less than 5kg the housing has been designed for all day handheld use.
- Adjustable left and right side handgrips for easy operation.
- Shoulder has a comfortable radius which can be foamed if needed.
- Full focus ability using the Preston or manual operation for camera assistants.
- On/Off switch can be positioned on any handle for the operator.
3. PROTECTIVE HOUSING
- This lightweight, easy to use system can be used a protective surface housing in dusty, damp or dangerous environment, such as sand or forest.
- Housing is able to be checked in as baggage, no freight necessary.
4. RIGGABLE
- It is rigging friendly with top and bottom base plates, for mounting anywhere.
- Bottom plate allows mounting to tripods
or scaff pipes. Also holds the ballast when underwater.
- Top plate allows mounting in an under slung position for rigging to cranes – great for tracking shots or keeping lens height low.
- Holes in base plates can be custom cut for each rig.
