Gates Deep Komodo for RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO

[Description]

RESULTS.  RELIABILITY.  DEEP KOMODO.

DEEP KOMODO is everything you expect from GATES:   Simple, reliable, "bulletproof".   2 year warranty, legendary global support.  Seal Check peace of mind.   Gates plug-and-play Precision Port and Stackable Port Ring strategy. 

And yet, barriers are broken with DEEP KOMODO.  At 25 lbs / 11 kg fully rigged, DK  is a backpack-ready, performance-to-size powerhouse.   Control?  The Gates Command Control module = full system authority, fully integrated, at your fingertips.  Iris, menu navigation, assignables.  Field update-able as KOMODO™ firmware evolves, too.  

Optimized for diver operation, DEEP KOMODO is balanced / trim out of the box, yet fully adjustable to different lenses / configurations.  A vast range of mirrorless, DSLR, specialized, (Laowa macro probe) and compact PL (think Zeiss) glass are compatible with DEEP KOMODO's versatile Lens Gear Drive system -- a genuine innovation.  

With DEEP KOMODO there's no 'nickel and diming' you with extra needed gear for an operational system.  Seal check, spare bits, tools -- it's all there.  Only Gates offers this level of commitment to your success, to your ROI.   

When failure is not an option:  Don't take a chance....take a GATES!

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

  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. 
• IT'S INCLUDED

[Ports (Optional)]

60-SERIES PORTS 

• FP60 FLAT PORT: A simple, versatile port option for macro work or lenses that don't perform well with a dome port.  
• SP60-6 DOME PORT: The SP60-6  is a 6in / 152 mm spherical dome port that preserves field of view (FOV) underwater, and is ideally suited for wide to fisheye imaging.  Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass or optical grade Acrylic (Perspex) versions, the latter field serviceable / replaceable.

80-SERIES PORTS COMPATIBLE

• FP80 FLAT PORT: Due to its larger front element, the FP80 supports a variety of medium to macro lenses – including external zooms. A simple, versatile port option.  Both Acrylic (Perspex) and Glass versions available.  
• SP80-8 Dome Port: The SP80-8 is an 8in / 203mm spherical dome port that preserves field of view (FOV) underwater, and is ideally suited for wide to fisheye imaging.  Medium to macro, too, when paired with compatible macro zoom lenses.  Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass or optical grade Acrylic (Perspex) versions, the latter field serviceable / replaceable.
• SP80-10 Dome Port: The SP80-10 is a 10in / 254mm spherical dome port that, like it's smaller SP80-8 sibling preserves field of view (FOV) underwater for wide to fisheye imaging.  The SP80-10 however, exhibits superior compatibility with rectilinear lenses, mitigating the soft corners classically found with dome ports in general.  This particularly beneficial with certain cinema PL mount glass like Arri Master Primes and Ultra Primes. The SP80-10 is available in Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass only.

SPECIALIZED PORT / ADAPTERS

• MLA60 MACRO PROBE LENS ADAPTER: In collaboration with Venus Optics, the Gates MLA60 Probe Lens Adapter allows full submersion of the Laowa 24mm Macro Probe lens for truly unique macro imaging perspective.   A long, tubular barrel with tiny lens tip can extend into the smallest of spaces, yet provide a remarkable 84° FOV, 2:1 magnification, and infinity focus.  Further, the Laowa 24mm Macro covers full frame *and* larger sensors like RED Monstro from a standard Canon or Nikon mount.  

CUSTOM PORT

• Gates Precision Ports extend to custom designs for specific applications like underwater UV imaging or Corrective Optics (CO) that adapt a specific lens for underwater imaging, and eliminating distortions / aberrations.  Contact Gates to discuss your particular application.
