Kraken Smartphone Housing 2.0 Pro & NextGen App

This Bluetooth-enabled, vacuum-sealed housing allows Apple and Android smartphones to be used as underwater cameras at depths up to 280 feet. The anodized-aluminum body is large enough to ensure compatibility with myriad devices. A rechargeable 18650 battery powers the housing and charges the user’s smartphone. Physical buttons control the phone via Bluetooth, using Kraken’s NextGen app. Menus include multiple advanced settings, including manual options for white balance, focus, shutter speed, ISO and more. The app was redesigned from the ground up and includes a suite of functions for underwater imaging and dive tracking. It includes AI-enhanced image correction to improve image clarity. Also included is a depth and temperature sensor, which allows the app to provide real-time dive data and record dive logs.
