During a recent visit to Singapore, Scubacam proprietor David Cheung (CheungyDiver) showed me two of the new “big guns” he had recently acquired. These include a Gates housing for the Phantom Flex 4K and a modified housing for the Arri Alexa. David runs a housing rental program for professional filmmakers in Asia.
