Nauticam Raptor Housing for RED Digital Cinema V-Raptor 8K VV - 16120
The V-RAPTOR 8K camera features a multi-format 8K VV sensor with the ability to record 8K Large Format or 6K Super 35. It has 17 stops of dynamic range and can record R3D files (REDCODE RAW) directly to CFexpress cards, eliminating the need for expensive proprietary media. It also features Canon's new RF mount with full support of the Canon EF to EOS R lens adaptor allowing a wide variety of focal lengths to be used. V-RAPTOR 8K VV is RED's most powerful camera to-date while still remaining one of the smallest cinema cameras available.

The Nauticam Raptor Housing
The housing supports both the RED V-RAPTOR 8K VV and the RED KOMODO through an optional tray (16250). It is engineered in a similar fashion to previous DSMC2 LT and Komodo housings, providing the most compact and travel friendly system possible. Raptor offers seamless integration with DSLR lenses and the same N120 port system used in Nauticam DSLR and Cinema systems. Enjoy unmatched user friendly setup and intuitive operation including tool-less setup and tear down in minutes. Batteries can be swapped without ever removing the camera from the housing, and lens changes can be accomplished in seconds.
The Nauticam Raptor housing uses the N120 Cinema port system, shared with Nauticam's other N120 platform cameras which allows for easy transition to the Nauticam Raptor from other N120 Nauticam systems. The N120 system also provides access to Nauticam's line of professional premium optics such as the WACP-1/2 and SMC-1/2.
The housing also features adjustable handles with easy access to the cinema style and focus knobs. On top of the housing is a 1/4"-20 cheese plate which allows for a wide variety of accessory mounting points.
In addition to Nauticam's traditional full mechanical control, the Raptor housing also integrates a series of electronic controls with backlighting. These controls can access Iris /-, Shut /-, ISO /-, WB on the left side of the housing and Pre-Record, FPS /-, Playback, Play/Pause, Magnify and Tools on the top of the housing.
The Nauticam Raptor is also backed by Nauticam's 2 year warranty. Lens Support
The RED V-RAPTOR 8K features a Canon RF lens mount, but Canon EF lenses are also supported through the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor. The Nauticam Raptor housing offers full support of Canon RF lenses along with the Canon EF to EOS R adaptor and the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor with Variable ND Filter or Control Ring. The left side of the housing features an easily accessible command wheel for smooth ND changes. Regardless of EF or RF lens selection, changing lenses is quick, easy and doesn't require any tools. Note that when changing between RF and EF lenses, the camera must be removed from the housing to remove or install the RF to EF adapter. Nauticam is constantly testing new lenses to provide optimized port and extension combinations. Large cinema-styled control wheels on the housing, located within easy reach of the handles, provide precise manual focus and control with supported lenses when used with the corresponding lens gear set.
Not being limited to using DSLR lenses is crucial for cinema systems and the Nauticam Raptor housing, when used with the 16410 N120 to N200 Port Adapter can support the use of select Cinema Lenses and the associated N200 Port System. Installation is quick, easy and requires no to
