Introducing the Nauticam Raptor Housing for RED Digital Cinema V-Raptor 8K VV

Published

on

The Nauticam Raptor housing supports both the RED V-RAPTOR 8K VV and the RED KOMODO through an optional tray.  It is engineered in a similar fashion to previous DSMC2 LT and Komodo housings, providing the most compact and travel friendly system possible.  Raptor offers seamless integration with DSLR lenses and the same N120 port system used in Nauticam DSLR and Cinema systems.  Enjoy unmatched user friendly setup and intuitive operation including tool-less setup and tear down in minutes.  Batteries can be swapped without ever removing the camera from the housing, and lens changes can be accomplished in seconds.

While maintaining full mechanical control, the Raptor housing also integrates a series of electronic controls with backlighting.  These controls can access Iris+/-, Shut+/-, ISO+/-, WB on the left side of the housing and Pre-Record, FPS+/-, Playback, Play/Pause, Magnify and Tools on the top of the housing.


The housing features our ergonomic adjustable handles with easy access to the cinema style zoom and focus knobs.  On top of the housing is a 1/4″-20 cheese plate which allows for a wide variety of accessory mounting points.

In additional to the large window for viewing the Raptor’s 2.4″ LCD screen, Nauticam offers an optional rear housing back for the Portkeys BM5WR monitor.  This allows the monitor to be viewed by the camera operator from a natural filming position and provides an extremely streamlined system.  The monitor back features control buttons to access the various tools offered by the BM5WR.

The RED V-RAPTOR 8K features a Canon RF lens mount, but Canon EF lenses are also supported through the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor.  The Nauticam Raptor housing offers full support of Canon RF lenses along with the Canon EF to EOS R adaptor and the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor with Variable ND Filter or Control Ring.  The left side of the housing features an easily accessible command wheel for smooth ND changes.  Regardless of EF or RF lens selection, changing lenses is quick, easy and doesn’t require any tools.  Note that when changing between RF and EF lenses, the camera must be removed from the housing to remove or install the RF to EF adapter.

Take the Raptor’s optics to the next level with our lineup of Premium Professional Optics that can deliver unparalleled optical quality and expanded creative options. When used with the Canon RF 14-35 F/4 IL USM lens, the WACP-2 creates a stunning 140º field-of-view while maintaining an incredibly natural looking image and excellent corner sharpness.

Whether freediving or diving – everyone cuts a great figure in the new camouflage suits from DYNAMICNORD.

Thanks to the specially designed camouflage pattern in beautiful colours, the new two-piece
SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are perfect for freediving. The design gives freedivers the chance to observe underwater creatures from a shorter distance.

Due to the robust and high-quality Yamamoto neoprene and high-quality workmanship, the SFS-3 and SFS-5 are also suitable for scuba diving or other water sports.

As the names suggest, the suits are available in 3 or 5mm neoprene thickness. A combination of high-quality Yamamoto #39/45 Limestone neoprene is used. This material is characterised by its special lightness and flexibility. The suits are extremely flexible and comfortable to wear while providing maximum thermal insulation. The outer flex lamination supports the ultra 4-way stretch. Thanks to the open cells, the suits fit like a second skin.

The double-clip beaver tail is a convenient system for donning and doffing. Reinforced knees and rear ensure the necessary robustness. The vented hood allows excess air to escape.

The MC-15 freediving mask and SC-10 freediving snorkel with camouflage pattern as well as the AF-70 freediving fins are available in matching colours.

The camouflage SFS-3 and SFS-5 apnea suits are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers in great colours and unisex sizes.

Sizes unisex: S-2XL

Colours: camo/blue, camo/green
