About the Boxfish 360 Spherical Underwater Camera

The Boxfish 360 is designed to maximise your time in the water and speed up your 360
production workflow. A single cover provides quick access to all memory cards and
long-lasting batteries. With automatically created project files, only three seams, and
precisely synced cameras, the stitching process is extremely fast and efficient. The
Boxfish 360 gets you back into the water quicker to shoot more immersive high-quality
video.
An integrated electronics package controls start/stop and continuously records changes
to depth, temperature, and camera orientation. This eliminates the need to manually
note this information during the dive, or look it up in the dive computer later. It is not only
great for scientific analysis, it also looks spectacular if integrated into a HUD-style video
overlay.
The Boxfish 360 has an external start/stop button. The rig is pre-calibrated to be used
underwater or on the surface without having to adjust focal distances. You can shoot
with our without domes on the surface, but for optimal image clarity we recommend
removing them if possible.

Before cleaning the housing, remove the battery or the DC coupler, or disconnect
•
the power plug from the outlet.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to
