Gates Red Ultrabrite 7.0" LCD Underwater Monitor Housing RTB7: Designed for Reliability and Performance

Unmatched Display Brightness

The Gates RTB7 Underwater Monitor Housing is engineered to accommodate the RED PRO TOUCH ULTRA-BRITE 7.0" LCD (RED SKU 730-0026), providing an unparalleled 2200-nit display brightness. This ensures effortless framing, focus, and exposure even in the harshest daylight conditions. Its functionality is complemented by a suite of essential tools such as edge peaking, false color, magnify, and more—accessible via four user-assignable push controls on the housing’s left side.

Innovative and Durable Cable Design

Under an exclusive license from RED, the RTB7 employs a proprietary cable design to ensure reliability:

• Bulletproof Construction: The rugged polyurethane jacket protects against wear and tear.
• Water Migration Defense: An internal water-blocking layer prevents water infiltration toward the camera and LCD, even in adverse conditions.
• Pass-Through Architecture: Eliminates additional connectors between the LCD and camera, providing a seamless and robust connection.

Key Features

1. Neutral Buoyancy for Stability: Prevents the housing from flipping, ensuring a stable underwater experience.
2. Rugged Construction: Built with Type III 'Hard' anodized aluminum and stainless steel hardware.
3. Optional Shade Extensions: Optimized for bright sunlight visibility, exclusive to Gates.
4. Streamlined Design: Despite the monitor's size, the RTB7 ensures a low-profile, close-fitting configuration.
5. Renewable Warranty: Backed by Gates’ 2-year renewable warranty, underscoring their commitment to durability and support.
