External monitor

I asked Nauticam about the VideoDevices PIX-E5(H) and they told me they have done some design work but that the project is currently on hold because of lacking market demand. So unless people show Nauticam they want a housing for this I'm afraid it's not gonna happen...

I think the issue with these external recorders, is that they are getting bigger and bigger and it makes housings for them so unwieldily.

Even my NINJA2 housing is pretty big.

I would be interested in getting the PIX-5E underwater, but I was quoted £2500 for the housing from Nauticam (if it got released)

The Pix-5 is defiantly a nicer option to take underwater. I would defiantly be interested if Nauricam came out with a housing. The Showgun is just too big if you are having to swim hard.

Whre do you put your monitor. As I see it its only suitable for me to atttach it to the top of the housing, but that really liks like an unstable arrangement.

Attaching it behind on a plate is not a viable method in my world.

And tips and pictures.

Hi Espen,

I've tried a couple of ways, my initial idea was to put it behind the camera. I did this using the XIT404 tray. It worked and balanced out the camera.

However I ended up always wanting to look at the screen on the camera as I'm not sending the OSD via HDMI and so wanted to check exposure etc. The cameras screen is a bit small for normal control and you have to hold the camera up in front of you.

So I've gone with it on top, but slightly in front. But I've made the camera precisely neutral so it's balanced and doesnt sink or float. As shown below:

Hope that helps
