HydroFlex debuts housing for ALEXA 65

An article in Film and Digital Times, HydroFlex has announced that their new Remote AquaCam housing for the ARRI ALEXA 65 has been in use shooting VFX sequences for a “major motion picture” at the underwater stage at Pinewood Studios, near London, England. As no actual camera was available at the time, the housing was originally designed using CAD and 2D design drawings.

The housing has a heat sink built in to help dissipate the heat generated as the camera operates, and uses an optical dome supplied by Nauticam.
