Gates Z3 housing for Z-Cam E2-S6 / F6 / F8 and SmallHD

Multi camera support for  Z-CAM Flagship Series E2-S6 / F6 / F8 means system management is required, and mastered via Gates COMMAND / CONTROL module.  The GCC interface provides direct camera and lens authority: smooth IRIS roller, ISO and SS up/down buttons, menu nav and 4x assignables.  All conveniently placed at the operators left thumb tip.  GCC is field update-able as firmware evolves, too.  

Z3 breaks travel barriers.   At 25 lbs / 11 kg fully rigged, Z3 is a backpack-ready, performance-to-size powerhouse.  Optimized for diver operation, Z3 is balanced / trim out of the box, yet fully adjustable to different lenses / configurations.  A vast range DSLR, specialized, (Laowa macro probe) and compact PL (think Zeiss) glass are compatible with Z3's versatile Lens Gear Drive system -- a genuine innovation.

Z3 is, of course, everything you expect from GATES:   Simple, reliable, "bulletproof".   2 year warranty, legendary global support.  Seal Check peace of mind.   Gates plug-and-play Precision Port and Stackable Port Ring strategy. 

With Z3, Seal check, spare bits, tools -- it's all there. There's no 'nickel and diming' you with extra needed gear for an operational system.  Only Gates offers this level of commitment to your success, to your ROI.   

COMPLETE COMMAND / CONTROL
Dedicated, direct connect camera control at your fingertips.  Iris knob, menu nav, and 4x assignables in the Gates COMMAND / CONTROL module (which is field update-able as Z-CAM firmware evolves).  Plus 12 ATOMOS LCD touch-screen controls. 

CLEAN, UNCOMPLICATED, RELIABLE DESIGN
Another Gates mantra:  simplicity = reliability: Convenience details are nice, but not at the expense of function, purpose, results.

EXTENSIVE LENS SUPPORT
Gates unique Lens Gear Drive system is versatile, adaptable to DSLR, mirrorless, compact cinema (e.g. Zeiss) and specialized (Laowa macro probe) glass.

Further, Z3 is evolved from Pro Action / Pro Explore to accommodate larger lenses, up to 108mm gears / 136 teeth.

FULLY INTEGRATED ATOMOS 5" MONITOR
Comfortable 15° view angle and daylight-bright, several LCD options are supported: Small HD503 Ultrabright, ATOMOS NINJA V, SHINOBI, and SHINOBI SDI.

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 rapid return to action.
