TOP ADVANTAGES OF THE MANTIS RS360 HOUSING

• Utilises increased low-light capability and dynamic range of the large dual 1-inch sensors.
• Much smaller nadir obstruction than polycarbonate housings due to clam shell design.
• Direct contact with metal housing provides significantly increased heat dissipation.
• Much improved environmental protection due to stronger materials and hard coating.
• Domes and o-rings can be replaced and housing is fully serviceable by the user.

Take stunning 360 underwater 6K video and 21MP stills with the Insta360 ONE RS 1-inch 360 Edition. The dual large 1-inch sensors and Leica lenses offer the extra low-light capability and dynamic range. Our specially designed clamshell housing is the only housing for this camera. The large 4” domes provide clean zenith and effortless stitching with the standard Insta360 Studio Application. A M6 bulkhead port allows for off-board power or remote connection via USB-C connection.

This makes the RS360 housing extremely easy to use and very versatile. Be it leisure, exploration diving, ROV operations, asset inspection, or scientific discovery and habitat monitoring - the RS360 housing and Insta360 RS 1-inch 260 Edition are your reliable companions that capture all the action around you without getting in the way or being distracting.

WHY PRE-ORDER?

We had planned to ship this housing before Christmas. And while we were on track with the first prototypes, after taking it diving we decided to add another iteration and add further improvements that we thought you would appreciate. For example the top mounts and bulkhead port for external power, which weren’t part of the original product design. This added a few months to the delivery schedule and pushed the first batch to until after Christmas. But it didn’t feel right to wait any longer with the announcement. The second batch is likely to hit shelves later in April.
