Why this housing
The Nauticam Raptor Housing
The housing supports the RED® V-RAPTOR®, RED® KOMODO™ and the RED® KOMODO-X™ through an optional tray (16250). It is engineered in a similar fashion to previous DSMC2 LT and Komodo housings, providing the most compact and travel friendly system possible. Raptor offers seamless integration with DSLR lenses and the same N120 port system used in Nauticam DSLR and Cinema systems. Enjoy unmatched user friendly setup and intuitive operation including tool-less setup and tear down in minutes. Batteries can be swapped without ever removing the camera from the housing, and lens changes can be accomplished in seconds.
Lens Support
The RED® V-RAPTOR® features a Canon RF lens mount, but Canon EF lenses are also supported through the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor. The Nauticam Raptor housing offers full support of Canon RF lenses along with the Canon EF to EOS R adaptor and the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor with Variable ND Filter or Control Ring. The left side of the housing features an easily accessible command wheel for smooth ND changes. Regardless of EF or RF lens selection, changing lenses is quick, easy and doesn't require any tools.
Battery Compatibility
The RED® V-RAPTOR® has an integrated Micro V-Lock battery interface. Swapping batteries is as simple as opening the housing as the camera does not need to be removed to access the batteries. The following batteries are supported within the housing:
Ethernet Remote Control
While the Nauticam RED® V-RAPTOR® housing is engineered to allow for full control by the operator, it also supports an ethernet surface feed in 5m (pole cam) and 45m (studio) lengths. Within the housing, there is space to install a USB-C to Ethernet adaptor which would allow for full control of the camera at the surface through the RedControl App.
Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System
The Nauticam RED® V-RAPTOR® housing features Nauticam's field-tested Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System that provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. By drawing a slight vacuum inside the housing using a reliable and compact manual hand-pump, the system is able to insure water-tightness before entering the water as well as throughout the dive. A simple color-coded LED lighting system, easily visible at the rear of the housing lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.
Patented Port Locking Lever
The Raptor housing features Nauticam's signature port locking system. Ports can be easily installed and securely locked in place. The housing will support both RF and EF mount lenses through the N120 Port System.
Zoom and Focus Control Knobs
The Nauticam Raptor housing features oversized mechanical zoom and focus knobs with erasable surfaces for focus/zoom position marks. The internal gearing is moved away quickly via a small external lever to allow removal of the camera or lens without disruption of focus/zoom gear alignment.
Electronic Controls
While maintaining full mechanical control, the Raptor housing also integrates a series of electronic controls with backlighting.
