Camera Rig
Currently the main camera rig is built around the Amphibico Housing to suit the Sony F900 HDcam camera. Light packs based on HMI units fasten onto a custom base plate which can also fit onto a custom underwater tripod. Interchangeable front ports allow for several lens configurations including a custom extension for the probe lens (see below). All camera controls including built in filter wheel are accessable from a panel and handgrip.
David Hannan also have a P2 in a Gates Housing currently deployed on location in Papua New Guinea for extra shots of special creatures.

David Hannan recently acquired an HD Probe lens from Innovision Optics allowing us to film extreme close up images.
The kit consists of a lens-barrel and a range of interchangeable front elements and custom servo-motors for focus and iris. The lens is submersible and suitable for filming underwater subjects at close range. The kit is available to rent through ProCam or direct.
David also owns a custom built 5-axis motion control rig that allows the camera head and lens front to be positioned very precisely where 'the action is' in the microscopic realm. All the equipment is available for custom filming.
