Video and Movie Camera Housings
Camera housings can be made for
nearly any type or format motion picture or video camera. Photographic
Support Systems® housings are
built to produce the highest quality footage while providing fragile and
expensive cameras protection from shock and impact damage, as well as keeping
sensitive cameras dry.
Housings can be made for nearly any type or model of motion picture camera. Bolex, Beaulieu, Kodak, Canon and others all make cameras suitable for water footage that can be used with a Photo Support housing. Waterproof cases range from light-duty splash boxes to industrial-strength housings for use in the most demanding conditions.

Housings can be made for most video
cameras, like this unit made for the Sony TRV950. Single or multiple CCD
video cameras produce excellent quality footage and are popular with
watersports professionals. Controls for video housings can access zoom, record,
focus and on/off functions. Front plate design helps eliminate lens flare. Some
units feature interchangeable and/or removeable aluminum handles or grips.
These housings also provide protection from snowy or dusty conditions. Smaller
video cameras can be used as POV(Point Of View) rigs because of their light
weight and small size. Many housings can be made to fit a wide angle adapter,
like high quality
Schneider adapters.

cameras are well suited for water filming. This classic Kodak K100 works by
hand crank. Made for extreme and rugged conditions, this camera and housing are
always ready to go. Shooting up to 40 feet per wind and film speeds up to
64fps, a rig like this one, with a 10mm f1.6 Kern-Switar lens is a filmaker's
ace in the hole.
