This fully closed circuit, constant P02, electronically-driven rebreather features built-in decompression ability.

Panasonic GH4 housing

This housing accommodates the older GH3 and its successor, the new Panasonic GH4 DSLR. For those unaware of the Panasonic GH4, it’s widely regarded as one of the best DSLR video cameras in the world. It records stunning 4K video at 30fps and gives the RED EPIC a run for its (much more) money. Put the GH4 inside a lightweight, tough, polycarbonate housing and you’ll have one of the best and most affordable underwater video packages on the market today. Amazing.
