In January 2001 we needed to send a Sony DSR PD150 DVCAM on an
expedition to the summit of Aconcagua, at over 7,000 metres, the
highest mountain in the Andes. We needed protection from the environment
but failed to find a suitable protective jacket on the market. The
best of which fell short of our needs in terms of both protection
and ergonomics, it simply rendered the camera almost unusable when
fitted. The only solution was to design and produce our own.
Thoroughly thought through and tested, the Antarctica DV150/170 camera
jacket is now available to everyone who needs to use their DSR PD150/170 in rugged
conditions or even just outdoors. The Antarctica DV150/170 provides a high
level of protection against knocks, bumps, dust and a reasonable degree of protection
against rain and spray too. For serious soakings though, an additional waterproof
covering should be used.
