Gates Underwater Products has announced a new underwater housing for the Red Epic and Red Remote to be used with the Deep Epic and Deep Atom 3D Underwater Video Housings.
On the successful heels of DEEP RED, Gates’ design team carries forward several key features that professional underwater cameramen have admired, and current DEEP RED owners will appreciate. DEEP EPIC incorporates the REDMOTE for direct, complete and readily accessible camera control. DEEP EPIC is 25% smaller than DEEP RED, yet retains full buoyancy and trim control. And DEEP EPIC is a Gates through-and-through – ‘bulletproof’, 450 foot depth rating, 2 year warranty and backed by legendary service.
Key Features of the Deep Epic:
- Smaller by 25% over DEEP RED.
- REDMOTE fully integrated for complete camera control. Top location is readily seen and accessed by the cameraman.
- Ports, Port Extenders, Lens Gear Drives, and Seal Check are carried forward from DEEP RED.
- Mechanical or motorized Zoom Control option
- Support for all lenses tested and verified on DEEP RED including Angeniuex, Arri, RED and Nikon. Any PL/Nikon glass can be qualified by Gates for DEEP EPIC.
- Optional HD-SDI surface or 2nd monitor feed, Comm / Hydrophone audio inputs.
- Port options SP80 Dome (glass and acrylic) and FP80 Flat.
- Available high output LED lighting by SubAqua/Gates.
Gates Underwater Products is estimating under $20k Retail for the DEEP EPIC housing, external monitor shell, Seal Check, REDMOTE support and Travel Case. As usual per Gates, all Ports, Port Extenders and Gears will be sold A-LA-CARTE.
