Salty Surf Housings Taking Preorders for RED Komodo Housing
By Ian Bongso-Seldrup, July 28, 2020 @ 09:00 PM (EST)

Salty Surf Housings is taking preorders for its new surf housing for the RED Komodo, a brand new Super 35 6K cinema camera. In addition to the camera, the housing accommodates two Canon BP-975 batteries (or smaller), and an Atomos Shinobi monitor with battery (NP-F770). The camera’s physical controls are mirrored on the top plate of the housing.

Depth-rated to 66 feet (20 meters), the housing is machined from aluminum and comes with integrated side handles. The housing features Salty’s S-System port system, offering compatibility with lenses up to 105mm diameter. A wide variety of very cool paint options are offered.

Available in September 2020, the new housing has a base price of AU$4,950, which is just over US$3,500 (without port).

Paint

Our housings are painted in a highly durable two-pack paint. The paint not only provides additional corrosion protection to your housing, but also provides an opportunity to customise the look of your housing.

You get to choose your colour(s)! And the options are almost endless.

You can choose a color from here, or from our Instagram page (@saltysurfhousings)
