HYDROHEAD UNDERWATERCAMERA SYSTEM
The HydroHead is a waterproof remote panand tilt head. It is the perfect compliment toour RemoteAquaCams. The HydroHead’s lightweight and low profile, combined with the tubularhydrodynamics of the RemoteAquaCams, allow
this system to glide through the water with lessresistance than anything currently available.
Our 2-axis analog head uses underwater
mateable connectors and is depth rated to30 m. An optional “L” bracket allows mounting
a standard Arri or Panavision camera package
in one of our Scubacam Splash Bags for surface
wet work.
The HydroHead system uses reinforced Power Pod
electronics and offers operator familiarity andyears of dependable, in the field experience.
A dovetail balance plate is built into the tilt
rotator to accommodate a wide variety of primeand zoom lenses, and a large selection of camera
combinations and Splash Bags can be fitted forabove water shooting in wet situations.

ALEXA MINI HOUSING• Supports a Wide Range of Lenses• Quick and Easy to Set Up, Swap Lenses, and Use• Outstanding Wide-Angle Image Performance
The new Nauticam Alexa Mini Housing was designed
in collaboration with Hydroflex, the world’s leading
underwater cinema equipment rental house, owned
by Pete Romano, ASC. Their combined effort hascreated the perfect underwater housing system
for the Alexa Mini.
Cameras can be easily built up on the camera
base plate in good light before sliding theassembled unit into the housing. Lens swaps
are easy, and the housing supports a wide
range of lenses, from very small lenses tolarge cinema-style zooms. Large, rubberized
lens control knobs with marking discs provide
the operator with precise control over thelens. The 250 mm optically coated glass dome
port provides outstanding wide-angle imaging
performance. An improved locking system makes
lens changes easier and reduces the chance ofleakage. Many 1/4”-20, 3/8”-16, and 10 mmthreaded accessory mounts are provided. The
housing ships with the V-Mount battery plate andthe LEMO connector. Plenty of space is allocated forbatteries, and surface supplied power can be tethered forall-day shooting. Weight and trim brackets make it easy toachieve neutral buoyancy and left-right balance with easilysourced dive weights. A number of on camera monitoring
solutions are available.

ARRI, SONY, RED AND PHANTOM
UNDERWATER CAMERA SYSTEMSThe Hydroflex RAC (RemoteAquaCam) wasengineered primarily for use with our remote 2-axis
Hydrohead on a crane for at sea or wet stage
work. Field testing has also proven the AquaCam
to be useful for handheld filming under the water or
floating on the surface because of its aquadynamic
shape. Moreover, the AquaCam is ideal to shoot on
cramped underwater sets, e.g. submerged cars.
Designed around standard Arri film/digital cameras
and Preston remote focus and iris controls, this low
profile camera system can be easily fitted withCooke, Zeiss, Hawk or Panavision spherical andanamorphic lenses. Small Vantage and Century
lightweight zoom lenses can also be used. Bothflat and dome ports are available as well as avariety of port extension rings to accommodate thedifferent lenses. Water drops are cleared from thefront port by an air-powered rain deflector.
The Alexa HD-SDI output can be connected to a 4.3’’
HD LCD underwater monitor for hand-held viewing,allowing the operator to set the frame while thecamera assistant rolls camera, and pulls focus, irisand zoom from above water from as far as 30 maway. The optional Preston Marine Fl&Z hand unit
or Arri WCU-4 gives the camera assistant start/stop,
focus and iris control underwater. All camera functions
can be controlled using a WCU-4 with an Alexa
Remote licence key installed.

SCUBACAM SPLASHBAGSThe Scubacam range of splash bags are completely watertight flexible lightweight camera housingsfor digital cameras. They are designed to operate just above or just below the surface of water or inan environment which is extremely dusty or dirty, and give the camera both water and dirt protection,
while allowing the camera operator access to all the camera and lens functions.
Each model of the splash bag is made from high quality material that is molded to fit snugly around thecamera and lens. The units are sealed with specialized watertight zippers. All metal parts are either
stainless steel or anodized aluminium.
It is important to remember that these housings are not suitable for prolonged use under water, andthey are not an inexpensive replacement for more expensive aluminium deep water housings.
