CAMERA EQUIPMENT
Housing for RED cameras
This custom-designed housing accommodates the RED Gemini camera, paired with a range of lenses including Sigma Art, Atlas Anamorphic, and other spherical options.
The RED Gemini offers frame rates up to 96fps in 5K and 120fps in 4K, with dual native ISO settings of 800 and 3200—making it highly adaptable to varying underwater lighting conditions.
The housing features full manual iris and focus control via geared mechanisms, and includes an 80-meter video assist cable. It also provides surface-level data control, allowing remote access to the full camera menu, including start/stop functions as well as focus and iris adjustment when using compatible Sigma Art lenses.
Two monitors are integrated: an external top-mounted display and an internal rear-facing monitor for flexible operator viewing.
Both dome and flat ports are constructed from optical glass, delivering significantly sharper image quality than standard acrylic alternatives. The housing has been designed and custom-built by McLeod to meet the rigorous demands of professional underwater cinematography.

Splash-Bag for cinematography on/around water.
The SCUBACAM Splash-Bag is designed for filming in and around water, accommodating larger camera systems such as RED, ARRI 35, ALEXA Mini/LF, Sony Venice, and others. It supports most prime lenses and compact zooms.
An integrated external 5" monitor provides clear operator viewing, and a 25-meter video assist cable can supply images to the video village. Additionally, a separate 25-meter LCS cable enables connection of follow focus motors to either the WCU-4 or ARRI Hi-5 (with supplied LBUS adaptors).
To maintain a clear image, dual air-jets, powered by a standard SCUBA tank, are employed to remove water droplets from the front glass element.
The camera is securely mounted within a robust internal metal frame, allowing for handheld bar attachment or mounting on a tripod head, ensuring stability and versatility in challenging environments.
