Made for the punishing conditions of the marine environment—either weatherproof topside housings or waterproof underwater housings—we have you covered. Mantis Sub will protect your Insta360 Pro2 to 90 metres, while the Mantis Spray will survive a 50-knot thrashing on a foiling Americas Cup boat. Thoroughly tested on underwater VR shoots in the sub-antarctic, temperate reefs and freezing fjords.
