Key Features

Compact, Travelable.

Among its many strengths, the FX6 Housing is well-fitted to the Sony FX6 camera. This means a small, low-profile system that's easy to manage above and below water.

Fully Integrated Monitor

Comfortable 15° view angle and daylight-viewable, Gates FX6 has an easy-to-see rear view window to the Sony FX6 LCD (included with FX6 camera).

Seal Check Lite

Don't rely on a binary red/green light to keep your precious camera safe. Seal Check Lite's precision vacuum gauge puts you in charge of the go / no-go decision. When unexpected things happen (and they do happen), Seal Check Lite is a troubleshooter, locating leaks and quickly returning to action.

Extensive Lens Support

Gates' unique Lens Gear Drive system is versatile and adaptable to mirrorless, cinema, anamorphic, and specialized glass (e.g., Laowa Periprobe).

Full Camera Control You Can See

The FX6 side control window provides a clear view of all key camera functions accessible underwater.

Clean, Uncomplicated, Reliable Design

A Gates mantra: simplicity = reliability. Convenience details are nice, but not at the expense of function, purpose, and results.

Adjustable Buoyancy / Trim

The Gates trim system lets you establish perfect buoyancy and balance underwater, which is key to stable, fluid shots.

2-Year Warranty.

Legendary factory direct support.

Gates is synonymous with reliability and support, and only Gates offers a 2-year, renewable warranty on all housings.
