MADE WITH TRITON

Landmark TV-series, documentaries and features made using Triton submersibles

Professional’s Choice

Triton’s Professional Submersibles feature fine-grain control which enables smooth, controlled camera moves. Their precision maneuvrering allows confident filming of the tiniest details in macro. Extensible electronics architecture allows for easy integration of custom lighting rigs and specialist cameras. And their industry-leading dependability allows them to be used for months-long expeditions in the remote locations.

Little wonder Triton’s Professional submersibles are the tools of choice for demanding filmmakers and documentarians working subsea.
