This innovative system, now available for rent from Bluewater Photo, offers a host of unique features that make it an invaluable tool for professional filmmakers, VR content creators, and live broadcasters.
### Unique Features
The Mantis Sub Housing is designed to withstand the rigours of underwater environments, ensuring the safety of the Insta360 Pro and Pro2 cameras while expanding their utility into the marine realm. The housing is compatible with these specific models, maintaining full control and access to all ports, without compromising camera performance.
The housing's robust construction protects sensitive camera components from water ingress, while its integration with underwater lighting setups enhances video quality in low-light conditions. The housing is neutrally buoyant, making it easy to film underwater, and it features a clean zenith and nadir design to avoid appearing in the footage.
### Applications
The Mantis Sub Housing opens up a world of possibilities for creating immersive VR content that includes underwater scenes. Its design supports attachment or use alongside lighting equipment, improving video clarity and colour accuracy underwater, which is crucial for professional underwater videography.
The housing's livestream capabilities enable real-time underwater exploration and event streaming, making it a valuable asset for live broadcasters. It has been used for mapping the internal structure of cave systems in extreme resolution using photogrammetry, and it has been engineered to design and develop models for underwater, scuba-diving based virtual reality video games.
The Mantis Sub Housing can livestream 8K stereoscopic footage using an ethernet and power surface-supplied cable, and it can be extended with an external battery for up to 12 hours of run time. The system is controlled with an artisanally designed internal controller that allows for a detailed log of the unit's vitals over a phone app and adjustment of camera settings.
A lighting system specifically designed for the Mantis Sub, called the Mantis Sun 360 Lighting System, is also available. The Mantis Sub Housing is distributed in the US by Bluewater Photo, and it is used for various purposes, including science, entertainment, military use cases, and monitoring.
