Underwater Specialist Camera Housings

Arri 435, Arri III, Arri SR 3, High Definition and Professional Stills cameras are catered for.

RedBlack Marines purpose designed underwater production housings are designed and constructed to be  Production Simple for ease of operation. Other underwater housings are designed to cater for camera magazine configurations that are not ideal for underwater production. RedBlacks design concepts take underwater housing development into the new millennium.

Lens restrictions are no longer as constricting as they have been in the past as our systems are driven by internal electronic servos that interface easily with an extreme range of lenses.

Dome and Flat ports are used to support the wide range of lenses.
Video cabling to surface support, directors and agency is of high quality.
Underwater Monitors enable easy operation for the cameraman.
High quality viewfinder optics also ensure accurate focus and through the lens viewing.

Depth rating tested to 80m (300ft)  but recommended use should be above 40m unless they are some of our specific deepwater documentary housings.
