EX1 Housing

................................


    

I’ve owned three Gates housings over the past 9 years and the innovations just keep getting better and better. We’ve produced seven major projects with Gates housings and they have never let us down. I can’t say the same thing for some of the other housings I have owned. I particularly love the new tray on my Gates housing for the PMW-EX1, the fact there is no vignetting, and the large external monitor for high-definition video. Gates’ service is also second to none.
