Introducing the PF4K Underwater Housing
Congratulations on owning a new Gates product: the PF4K housing. You’ve selected an
underwater imaging tool that will provide years of value and reliable service. We
designed the PF4K specifically for the Vision Research Phantom Flex4K camera.
Please read through this entire guide to learn about the PF4K so you can get the most
out of this imaging tool. In this section, we’ll introduce you to the features of the PF4K so
you can get started.
Features
PF4K has several key features:
Lens flexibility.
The
PF4K can accommodate a variety of different PL mount
lenses with no change to control locations. Focus, Iris, Zoom remain in the same
location regardless of optics used.
Full camera control.
All practical controls are accessed directly with the PF4K
housing, as is the full menu system of the camera.
Cinema-grade design.
Lens choice and control access are just two of the many
features designed into the
PF4K. A/R coated glass optics, optional HD-SDI surface
feed, and Seal Check are a few of the items any professional will appreciate.
Warranty Disclaimer
Like any tool the PF4K underwater housing requires knowledge and understanding to be
effective.
Your responsibility is to learn the proper setup, use and care of the PF4K. Because we
can only provide you with the information necessary to do so, Gates does not warrant
the contents of your housing (e.g. your camera and lenses) under any circumstance.
We warrant the PF4K housing as an image acquisition tool for a period of 2 years. The
Seal Check unit is warranted for 1 year. Optics (Dome and Flat ports) are warranted for
a period of 1 year or 100 hours salt water contact, whichever comes first.
Gates does not warrant optical performance or image quality.
If you have any questions about the setup, use and care of the PF4K, contact Gates
directly. Details are in section 5.
