LUNA Underwater cinematography without compromise

Industry Challenges. • Boxfish Research was founded by Craig Anderson and Ben King — two engineers with passion for diving, underwater exploration and photography. In 2016, they met while trialling home-built ROV’s (remotely operated vehicles) at the same time and location in Auckland, New Zealand. The duo were disappointed with the results of the trial, and felt ROV technology had been stagnant since the 90’s. An avid underwater photographer, Craig had been forced to give up diving and was determined to create a solution that captured the same image quality. Restrictions on using divers in certain...

Introducing Boxfish Luna Boxfish Solution. • Our aim is to be able to achieve more with less: the Boxfish Luna is a small, lightweight package that can be carried on a plane and boat, and set up for diving within 10 minutes. We really see the future in replacing divers with underwater drones in situations that may be unsafe, which increases safety and lowers the costs of expeditions. The ROV housing and acrylic optical dome option allow Boxfish Luna to film up to 1,000m, well beyond divers’ capability. Moreover, it is a compact yet sturdy and stable vehicle that can easily manoeuvre in confined...

Monitoring of production quality video. Enjoy full control over underwater lighting and camera position during underwater filming. The Boxfish Luna’s surface console allows filmmakers to monitor uncompressed 4K footage on a 17-inch UHD screen with near-zero latency thanks to the latest fibre-optic technology and our patented fibre-optic connector. The Boxfish ROV really solves a lot of production issues when it comes to safety and the ability to communicate with your DOP and operator on the surface.

No Health & Safety, no worries. Scuba divers can disturb some marine species. The Boxfish Luna allows to get much closer to marine mammals and fish than divers and captures decisive moments with unprecedented quality. In unsafe situations, using an underwater drone lowers the cost of the expedition, with no need for additional paperwork! Clean imagery and quick deployment. From plane to boat, to dive, the Boxfish Luna is an easy system to transport, setup and drive. Setup and deploy within minutes of arriving on site, all manageable by a two person team. © Boxfish Research Limited. All Rights...
