Mantis Sub launches the RS360 deep diving 360-degree VR camera housing

Published

on

Mantis Sub, a leading innovator in underwater VR solutions, has announced the launch of the Mantis RS360, a compact new underwater VR camera housing specifically designed for the ground-breaking Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition. This allows videographers to capture stunning 6K 360-degree underwater videos and 21MP photos with outstanding dynamic range thanks to the large dual 1-inch sensors of the camera.

Most affordable 360-degree camera housing with a durable aluminum body

Each Mantis RS360 housing is machined from an aluminum block and hard anodized for optimal strength and corrosion protection, making it a durable and long-lasting solution for underwater videography that has been tested to 300m (984 feet). The housing is engineered to optimally dissipate the heat generated by the camera into the surrounding water, allowing the camera to operate continuously without heat exhaustion – a common problem with consumer housings made from polycarbonate plastic. At the same time, it is a fraction of the price of other aluminum-body 360 degree camera housings.

User-friendly and extensible

Leveraging the camera’s quick capture mode, the Mantis RS360 housing provides a single button to turn the camera on/off and start/stop a recording at the same time. This saves precious battery life and makes it the perfect companion for underwater 360 photographers and videographers of all skill levels.

An integrated bulkhead port allows the user to power and control the camera externally, for example with a separate battery pack or from an underwater drone (ROV).

“We are excited to introduce the Mantis RS360, a top-of-the-line underwater VR camera housing that offers unparalleled durability and performance in its class,” said Axel Busch, Chief Engineer of Mantis Sub. “With 6K video and 21MP photo capabilities, ease of use and extreme depth rating, this housing opens up new possibilities for underwater videographers, scientists and deep sea explorers looking to capture stunning, high- resolution images and videos of the ocean’s beauty and marine life.”

“The RS360 is as small and as easy to operate as a consumer housing, while still offering the quality, durability and versatility of a professional tool,” said Andrew Simpson, Head of Sales of Mantis Sub. “Our larger housing for the Insta360 Pro 2 is extremely popular with Universities, Institutes and Production Houses around the world. With the RS360 housing we can now put a highly capable and versatile 360-degree camera system into the hands of enthusiasts and into places and at depths where the larger system can’t go.”

The Mantis RS360 is available for purchase now on the Mantis Sub website at https://www.mantis-sub.com/products/p/mantis-rs360, for US$1,680.00 and from Mantis Sub dealers worldwide.

SSI Continues Environmental Education Leadership with TWO New Specialty Courses

Published

on

SSI

SSI announces the availability of two new unique specialties, “Coral Reef Restoration” and “Invasive Species Management,” as part of its commitment to environmental stewardship through the Blue Oceans initiative. These specialties aim to empower certified divers to actively contribute to the protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems. When combined with SSI’s ever-expanding Ecology Specialties, SSI continues to be the industry leader in conservation course offerings.

Coral Reef Restoration Specialty

Divers now have the opportunity to become certified in Coral Reef Restoration through SSI’s recognized instructors. This specialty equips participants with the diving knowledge and skills needed to engage in coral planting initiatives, contribute to coral health assessments, and actively participate in the preservation of these vital marine ecosystems.

Invasive Species Management Specialty

SSI recognizes the urgent need to address the threats posed by invasive species to aquatic biodiversity. The Invasive Species Management specialty is designed to train divers through SSI’s recognized instructors in identifying, safely removing, and managing invasive species, particularly in sensitive aquatic environments. Divers will play a crucial role in preserving native species and restoring ecological balance.

Ocean Guardian Digital Card

To celebrate the availability of these unique specialties, SSI is introducing the Ocean Guardian Digital Card, a certification card recognizing divers who complete the Coral Reef Restoration and/or Invasive Species Management specialties. This exclusive certification signifies a diver’s dedication to ocean conservation and identifies them as an Ocean Guardian.

SSI invites divers worldwide to join the Blue Oceans initiative, participate in these unique specialties, and become Ocean Guardians committed to protecting and restoring our oceans.

SSI’s Blue Oceans Initiative

SSI’s Blue Oceans Initiative sets the benchmark for conservation among the recreational diving community. Combining awareness and encouragement of opportunities to conserve our aquatic environments through diving activities, minimizing our impact through awareness and diving skills across all training programs, offering educational materials such as the Blue Oceans Program and our Ecology Specialties, and now, through Ocean Guardian, SSI is enabling its divers to create a direct positive impact on our aquatic environments.

If you are not yet an SSI Training Center or SSI Instructor but want to explore how you can benefit from offering SSI’s wide range of ecology conservation programs like these, call SSI at 1-800-892-2702 or visit us at https://my.divessi.com/become_trainingcenter to become an SSI Training Center, or check out how to get a FREE SSI Crossover Kit by clicking here: https://www.divessi.com/en/blog/free-ssi-crossover-kit-promotion-7120.html.
