Pace Mark 1 Video Housing

Designed for the Sony BVW/DVW Camera, Pace's Underwater Mark 1 Digital Betacam system features;

  • External lens control
  • Diagonal seal and slide out tray
  • Rugged, field-tested construction
  • Now supports Panasonic DVCPRO50 cameras

Camera Interface. Basic lens functions — zoom, focus, iris, and VTR run — are placed next to the housing’s handles. The camera’s power switch and white balance controls are also easily accessible. Operator can toggle between auto and manual iris control of the lens.

Lens.   Underwater cinematography requires the widest angle lenses available. The Pace Mark 1 System accommodates Fujinon’s 8.5 x 5.5 wide-angle lens and their 10 x 4.8 wide-angle zoom lens. Each lens may require a 4.5" +2 diopter for close up work.

Quality Construction. The housing is built of marine grade aluminum and is anodized for corrosion protection. It is tested down to 300 ft.. Pace’s Mark 1 Underwater System includes interchangeable dome and flat ports, making it ideal for use both underwater and topside in wet locations.
