Gates Deep Red Komodo-X Underwater Cinema Housing with SmallHD Ultra 5 LCD Monitor

Gates DEEP KOMODO-X Housing is the evolution of the robust, popular DEEP KOMODO underwater platform. Designed precisely for the RED KOMODO-X camera, DK-X achieves a remarkable 6K at 80 fps/4K at 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 updateable as KOMODO-X camera firmware evolves.

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

DK-X is also upgradeable from DEEP KOMODO Housing, protecting your ROI and supporting two cameras in one housing. And DK-X is everything you expect from GATES: Simple, reliable, "bulletproof," 2-year warranty, and 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).

KEY FEATURES

COMPLETE COMMAND / CONTROL

Dedicated, direct connect camera control at your fingertips. Iris knob + 10 fully assignable buttons to a wide variety of commands like iris, ISO, shutter, and focus/exposure tools. GCC is also user-updateable as KOMODO-X camera firmware evolves.

FULLY INTEGRATED MONITOR

Comfortable 15° view angle and daylight-viewable, DK-X offers several integrated LCD options: SmallHD Ultra 5 (3000 nits brightness!), SmallHD 503 Ultrabright, or Atomos Shinobi SDI.

CLEAN, UNCOMPLICATED, RELIABLE DESIGN

A Gates mantra: simplicity = reliability. Convenience details are nice, but not at the expense of function, purpose, and results.

SEAL CHECK LITE

Don't rely on a binary red/green light to keep your precious camera safe. Seal Check Lite's precision vacuum gauge puts you in charge of the go / no-go decision. When unexpected things happen (and they do happen), Seal Check Lite is a troubleshooter, locating leaks and rapid return to action.

EXTENSIVE LENS SUPPORT

Gates's unique Lens Gear Drive system is versatile, adaptable to DSLR, mirrorless, compact cinema (e.g., Zeiss), and specialized (e.g., Laowa Periprobe) glass.

IT'S INCLUDED

No buying piece-by-piece. DEEP KOMODO includes Seal Check Lite, spare kit, tool kit, Lens Gear Drives, system cabling, carry handle, and more. Add Port(s) and Port Ring(s) specific to your application to make a complete kit.

BACKPACK READY

Setting the bar in performance to size, DK-X weighs in at ~25 lbs / 11.4 kg fully rigged with camera, battery, LCD, lens, and SP60-6 AR coated glass Dome Port. Ideal for the traveling underwater professional.

60 AND 80 SERIES PRECISION PORTS

DEEP KOMODO X supports the entire Gates suite of 6, 8, and 10" dome and flat ports. AR-coated glass or acrylic / Perspex options.

2-YEAR WARRANTY. LEGENDARY FACTORY DIRECT SUPPORT.

Gates is synonymous with reliability and support, and only Gates offers a 2-year, renewable warranty on all housings.

SURFACE CONTROL.

Of course, DEEP KOMODO-X provisions are for surface tethers. Two universal bulkhead adapters utilize both Gates MultiConn and Pass-Through designs for SDI video feed, ethernet camera control using RED CONTROL PRO App, or an Antenna Extender to do the same over Wifi.

EXTERNAL MONITOR OPTION

Do you really want a top-mounted monitor with full swivel/tilt capability? You got it. DKX offers several External Monitor options.
