Splashbag

More than a rain cover, a splash bag is a sealed unit with a custom dry-suit type zipper that allows easy access to a camera while ensuring full protection from rain or other wet or dusty conditions. It can be used hand-held or mounted on a tripod or crane. The Splashbags leave plenty of room inside for lens control systems, on board batteries and video transmitters. Battery, media and most lens changes can be made easily without removing the camera from the bag.

A splash bag combined with our a hydro head allows smooth seamless remote camera use in rain, a dump tank, a boat, or any other wet, dusty, sandy location.

All of our splash bags have integral spray deflecting air knives built into the matte box to prevent water drops from collecting in front of the lens. An internal defogging system keeps condensation from forming on the glass.

PLEASE NOTE: Splash bags are not submersible and should be used for surface use only.

Light

For lights we have DMX cabled Hydroflex housings for Astera LED RGB tubes, minor LED panels and Astra 1×1 LED as well as underwater 1000W tungsten lights. We also stock Keldan and Aputure AL-MW LEDs as well as several torches.

Props

Over time we’ve stocked different props for underwater use, such as fake plants and ice, scuba rigs, wetsuits, drysuits, historical gear and others. In cooperation with production designers and scuba dealers such as Frivannsliv we’re ready for new challenges.

For the movie Cave (2016 Dahlsbakken) we provided full scuba diving gear for the actors in cooperation with Hollis, Xdeep and Suunto.

For Seizure (2019 Denstad Langlo) we provided waterproof torches, wetsuits and weight system for the lead actors.
