After many years of producing housings for monitors, including the Atomos Shinobi II and SmallHD Ultra 5, Nauticam has now released its own monitor—contained in an integrated housing. Featuring a 7-inch UltraBright panel with 1920x1080 resolution, the monitor offers a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, according to Nauticam. That’s brighter than any currently available monitor for underwater work, promising to make it possible to shoot in even the sunniest conditions.

The monitor offers a slew of advanced video assist tools, including customizable aspect ratios, false color, focus assist, focus peaking, histograms, image flip, vector scope, waveforms, zebra stripes, and anamorphic de-squeeze (to correct the distortion created by anamorphic lenses). Rather than a standard ball mount, the monitor comes with a newly designed swivel-and-tilt mount, which is attached to a housing via two ¼’’-20 UNC screws.

Depth-rated to 100 meters (330 feet), the monitor comes in two flavors: The T7 offers a single HDMI 1.4 input, while the G7 supports both HDMI 1.4 and SDI inputs. The G7 also offers an SDI output for connecting to a monitor on the surface. Both varieties are powered by four Li-ion rechargeable batteries, with the latest NightCore NL2160HP 6000mah batteries providing up to six hours of use at the default backlight level.

Available now from retailers such as Backscatter, the Nauticam T7 HD UltraBright retails at $3,778, while the Nauticam G7 HD UltraBright costs $5,008.
