Dive Smarter, Film Better: Introducing the Ultimate DPV Console
If you're a serious diver who uses a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) to extend your range and conserve energy, you know the game has changed. But what if you could take that efficiency to the next level? What if you could free up your hands, streamline your gear, and capture breathtaking video without compromising your control?
At Deep Current Systems, we believe in smart solutions for serious divers. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our new DVP Console—a complete mounting system designed to integrate your essential dive equipment directly onto your DPV.
The Problem with Traditional DPV Diving
DPVs, like the powerful DiveX Blackfin, are incredible tools for covering large distances, exploring wrecks, or navigating extensive reef systems. But when you add in the demands of underwater videography, things can get complicated.
-
Juggling Act: Trying to hold a video camera, manage two powerful dive lights, and keep an eye on your dive computer, all while steering a DPV, is a logistical nightmare. Your focus is split, your hands are full, and the resulting footage is often shaky and uneven.
-
Poor Lighting: Holding lights manually means inconsistent illumination. It's difficult to keep a steady, focused beam on your subject while also operating the DPV, leading to shadows and poor color in your shots.
-
Missing the Moment: Precious seconds spent fumbling with gear are moments lost forever. You might miss that perfect shot of a passing shark or a rare fish because your equipment isn't ready when you are.
The DVP Console: Your All-in-One Solution
Our DVP Console was born from a need for a more integrated, hands-free DPV experience. While it was initially designed to perfectly complement the robust DiveX Blackfin DPV, its versatile design allows it to be used with other DPV models, making it a universal tool for serious underwater videographers.
Here’s how it transforms your dive:
1. A Steady Platform for Professional Footage: The console provides a stable and secure mounting point for your action camera. This eliminates the "shaky cam" effect that often plagues handheld DPV footage, giving you smooth, cinematic video as you glide through the water.
2. Precision Lighting Control: With two dedicated mounts for CX3 lights, the console ensures your primary video lights are always positioned for optimal illumination. This strategic placement allows you to maintain consistent lighting, reduce backscatter, and capture the true, vibrant colors of the underwater world, all while keeping your hands on the DPV's controls.
3. Critical Information at a Glance: Your dive computer is a lifeline, and it's essential to have it in a position where you can check it easily and often. The DVP Console features a dedicated mount that keeps your dive computer right in your line of sight. No more fumbling to check your no-decompression limits or gas supply—it's all there, where you need it, when you need it.
4. A Streamlined and Safer Dive: By consolidating all your gear into one neat, ergonomic unit, you reduce drag and entanglement risks. Your hands are free to focus on steering, buoyancy, and safety—the core skills of a DPV dive. This improved control and situational awareness make for a safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient dive.
The DVP Console is more than just an accessory; it's an upgrade to your entire diving system. It's the difference between a frantic, gear-heavy dive and a smooth, effortless exploration where every moment is perfectly documented.
Take control of your underwater adventures and elevate your videography. The DVP Console is the smart way to dive with a DPV.
