Rent Underwater Camera Packages
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We DO NOT Rent Underwater Housings By Themselves. UNDERWATER HOUSING RENTALS are all done as a "package." What you rent from us is a fully-functional camera and housing all assembled and tuned so that you do not experience a camera misalignment or issue in the housing. We protect you so that one or more of the following WILL NOT HAPPEN:
(a) if the camera is not installed exactly correctly with its mounting plates and parts positioned so that it prevents the housing from closing 100%...this can result in a rapid filling of the housing with fresh or salt water…ruining not only the camera and the housing but also YOUR DAY.
(b) if the camera installation is just a fraction off center all your images may be vignetted, or in other words, the housing itself shows in the corners of the picture.
(c) if the camera installation does not exactly match up all the controls and cables there may be a malfunction of run control or interference with focusing or zooming, just some examples.
We have been inventing underwater housings since the early 1970s and have done thousands of rental days with underwater equipment. In the early days we DID listen and obey the request to RENT A HOUSING ALONE, without a camera, because the customer already OWNED A CAMERA. The horror stories started to collect and as a result we instituted a policy to rent housings alone only if the operator came into our offices and went through an orientation and training, learning all the little tricks about how to get the housing sealed completely, and the camera aligned exactly so that it worked 100% and there were no corners being cut on the pictures.
If you are doing a long-term project, and have your own camera, we will welcome your shooter or assistant in our prep facility, and will spend the time to completely familiarize them with all the tricks to insure a perfect production.
One last note: setting up a camera in a deep water housing usually requires certain disassembly of the stock video camera before it will fit into the housing properly. It usually makes all the sense to have a topside and an underwater camera system both ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. It takes time and patience to get the installation just right, and that is IN A CONTROLLED, WELL LIT, NON MOVING LOCATION!
