Kraken 5.5″ Monitor V3

Description

The KRM05 V3 is the next evolution of our professional 5.5″ underwater monitor — same battle-proven 3000 nit IPS panel, now wrapped in a dramatically slimmer and lighter aluminum housing. We moved the adjustment dial to the side for easier access during dives, and added a rear MicroSD slot so you can update LUTs and firmware between dives without opening the housing.

Note: Set your camera’s HDMI output to 1080p. The monitor accepts 4K input but output must be 1080p for full functionality.

What’s New in V3

• Redesigned aluminum housing — slimmer, lighter, more compact than V2 while retaining the same depth rating
• Side-mounted adjustment dial — easy one-handed operation underwater without reaching around the housing
• MicroSD card slot — update LUTs and firmware quickly between dives, no computer connection needed
• Same 3000 nit IPS panel, same monitoring tools, same 4K HDMI passthrough
