Kraken Underwater Monitor

in this video we talk in detail about the Kraken Ultra Bright 5.5”-inch underwater monitor.
The monitor features all the functionality that you would expect from a good top-side monitor, like an Atomos ninja V, or “V” as some people call it, except for the recording capabilities.
The kraken monitor is self-contained, which means that it does not need an additional housing in order to go down to 80 meters in depth.
When comparing this system to a Ninja V or a Small HD monitor in a Nauticam housing, the convenience of the integrated system really stands out in terms of weight, size, useability, as well as price.

Nicely done. Could you do a video on how you set up the monitor to your housing. I’ve not used a monitor before so you should not think anything is too simple

Thanks for the comment. I am in discussions with Kraken to do a trial of their 7" monitor. If they send me that, I will include the connection part in the video!

Nice review. Thanks.
What's the weight undewater? User manuals report same weght for 5.5 and 7" monitor which is strange. 500g is a lot and I'm afraid the whole kit will loose it's trim.
Did Kraken solved that problems with a fw upgrade? The inner monitor seems to be a commercial Feelworld.
Thanks

You mentioned that brightness is comparable to Shinobi but that is rated to 1000nits while Kraken is rated at 3000nits. Could you elaborate on differences in image quality between these two?

Hi @RomanKasan. I was comparing to the Shinobi 7, which is 2200 nits. I should have specified that I was referring to that specific model.
I think the Kraken's 3000 nits underwater look similar to the Shinobi 7's 2200 topside. That said, I never user either one of them at full brightness...
