Polecam showing its new product at IBC 2005
Saturday, 29 December 2007

Active ImagePolecam's existing DiveBag allows the Polecam head to dip and shoot just below the surface of the water, which is more than adequate for most applications but there is sometimes a requirement to shoot deeper down.

FishFace, the new Polecam submersible head, is a completely submersible pan & tilt head and camera housing sold as an alternative head for the rig. The housing will accommodate the normal standard definition cameras sold with Polecam, and suitable remote head high def cameras.

The head can be used to a depth of around 4 metres (13 feet) on the Polecam although it can be used away from the Polecam up to a depth of 10m (33 feet). The head sits at the end of the Polecam carbon fibre boom which is configurable in length from 1.5 to 6 metres (5 to 20 feet).

Like the DiveBag, live transition air-water-air shots are possible. This was used to great effect on the diving at the Athens Olympics and now the with submersible head the possibility of going much deeper!
