Underwater housing Gates for RED Komodo-X Deep

Underwater housing Gates for RED Komodo-X Deep

Gates DEEP KOMODO-X Housing is the evolution of the robust, popular DEEP KOMODO underwater platform. Designed precisely for RED KOMODO-X camera, DK-X achieves a remarkable 6K in 80fps /4K in 120 fps, improved shadow colors, and global shutter capabilities.

Compact and travel-ready, DK-X is a performance-to-size workhorse, optimized for diver operation. DK-X Housing includes mechanical lens control, full camera menu access, and Gates Command Control (GCC) module which = fast access authority at your fingertips. GCC is flexible, too, with a long list of user-changeable functions: iris, ISO, shutter, focus / exposure tools, and more. Further, GCC is update-able as KOMODO-X camera firmware evolves.

Topside DP control? Absolutely. DK-X is provisioned for surface tether cables utilizing Gates proprietary MultiConn bulkhead connector system to provide SDI video feed and complete camera authority via RED CONTROL PRO App.

DK-X is also upgradeable from DEEP KOMODO Housing, not only protecting your ROI but supporting two cameras in one housing. And DK-X is everything you expect from GATES: Simple, reliable, "bulletproof". 2 year warranty, legendary global support. Seal Check peace of mind. Adjustable buoyancy. Gates plug-and-play Precision Port and Stackable Port Ring strategy. A vast range of supported glass via Gates versatile Lens Gear Drive system: mirrorless, DSLR, specialized, (Laowa macro probe) and compact PL (think Zeiss).

When failure is not an option: Don't take a chance....take a GATES!
