Designed primarily for use above water in wet environments, the HydroFlex 35-3 Shallow Water Housing is constructed of fiberglass with an aluminum front. The housing fits a standard Arriflex 35-3 camera with 400 ft. magazines, a Cinematography Electronics motor control base and Panavision or Zeiss lenses.

An exterior aluminum frame is an integral part of this housing, and it provides many options for mounting from the top and bottom. When fitted with its custom lead pack for underwater use, the HydroFlex Shallow Water Housing is well balanced, neutrally buoyant, and easy to maneuver, making it the perfect swimming pool housing, as it can also be used underwater to a depth of 12 ft.

For above water filming in rain or wet sets, an optional lens port spray deflector system shoots air across the lens area, keeping drops of water from registering on the film. The housing accepts Zeiss PL T1.3 & 2.1 series of lenses and Panavision spherical and anamorphic lenses. Video assist, remote run capabilities and a waterproof monitor help round out this versatile housing. This housing weighs 52 lbs. above water and, with optional lead pack installed, weighs 3 lbs. underwater. This system has a maximum depth rating of 12 ft.
