This is the same as the domes HydroFlex had designed and fabricated for the Cousteau Society’s 35mm underwater cameras and has been an industry standard for many years with hundreds of credits on major blockbuster films.
The MK5 can be handheld or mounted on an underwater remote head. Utilizing either an ARRI or Preston remote lens control system, the focus puller adjusts iris and zoom and pulls focus from viewing a large monitor from a dry location.
Block batteries supply power to the camera from the surface and can shoot for hours without pulling the housing out of the water. Internal batteries maintain power to the camera when switching topside batteries. With the optional HydroFlex underwater ethernet cable, the assistant has full remote camera control.
The HydroFlex Mk5 kit comes with trim weights to be able to reach the ideal buoyancy and balance which is key to camera stability and balance.
The Remote AquaCam housing now has a home on the Gold Coast, Queensland, removing the hefty shipping costs to and from the USA.
With side mounting plate, without camera, monitor or handles and no additional weights.
This is the weight required to make the housing sink in fresh water. Includes camera, lens, batteries and additional trim weights. (weight required for neutral buoyancy is greater with the addition of extension rings for longer lenses.)
We can arrange to have anything from Hydroflex's inventory shipped out at your expense. Please check out the Hydroflex website to see what they supply.
