35mm — Arri 435 Sports housing Underwater Mode
Handheld Mode
OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
ARRI 435
Maximum Depth 20 Meters This sports housing was developed after extensive experience filming in the surf, underwater and on the surface. Traditionally, you needed three kinds of housings for each of these uses being a surf housing (home made ones with old lenses), a bag (with zippers) and underwater housing (big heavy ones going to a depth of 100m plus). This design can facilitate production filming that any DP can use. It’s not an owner operator system and is designed to be very simple and easy to use. The system allows the operator to configure it to suit any shot — under or above water. There is a vacuum system for sealing the sports housing on the surface so that the camera assistant can be assured that the sports housing is sealed using o‐rings not zippers. Weighing only 7kg (without camera) means it can be comfortably used as a handheld. The WETPORT™ system also allows the DP to shoot on the surface and not worry about spinning discs and compressed air on the water. You can actually shoot through a very thin skin of water ‐ like your eye is wet, so is the lens and droplets of water or transitions from below to above dissolve. When flying, this housing can be checked‐in baggage and does not attract expensive excess freight charges. The ballast (or lead weights used to sink the sport housing in underwater mode) are 3lb dive weights you can find everywhere in the world adding to the excellent portability of this housing. PAGE 4

Masks Full face masks allow diver to diver and surface to diver communications . There are two types ‐ AGA mask in yellow or black. Black is usually recommended for DPs or there is the Scubapro full‐face mask which is also recommended for DPs as it has a very shallow volume and you can get your eye quite close to the eyepiece. There are also clip on earpieces to any mask as a listen only unit. The above pictures also show the OTS SSB transmitter 1kw for large distances. All masks come with regulators. Training is essential.
