The Phantom HD RemoteAquaCam housing is ideally suited to capturing wet ultra-high-speed shots whether locked-off for remote triggering, hand-held to follow fast action underwater or on a crane for in and out of the water shots. The housing accommodates the Phantom HD 1000 fps camera from Vision Research with their 256GB or 512GB Cinemag. An underwater Ethernet cable to the surface allows for complete control of the camera through a laptop including camera trigger & critical white & black balance. HD SDI to the surface provides the director and DIT with the full HD image.

An integral Preston Remote Lens Control System allows the camera assistant to pull focus, iris and zoom above water from as far as 100' away. The optional Preston Marine Hand Unit gives the camera assistant camera focus and iris control underwater. With this system, virtually all professional cinema prime lenses can be accommodated including even Panavision and Hawk anamorphics and many short zooms such as the Zeiss Variable Primes, Panavision Lightweight Zooms, and Angenieux’s Optimo 15-40.

The housing requires the use of an Abel LWS Riser Plate (available through Abel Cine Tech) for 15mm iris rods for the Preston motors. For video viewing underwater, an Aja HD10MD3 video downconverter must be used (not available from HydroFlex).

Fully loaded, the system weighs 65lbs. out of the water and is depth rated to 100'.
