Kraken HDMI Ultra Bright 7" Underwater Monitor V2

Kraken HDMI Ultra Bright 7" Underwater Monitor V2

The Kraken HDMI Ultra Bright 7" Underwater Monitor V2 is an upgraded underwater field monitor purpose-built for underwater video production and high-visibility use in demanding marine environments. Developed by Kraken Sports, the underwater monitor is part of the company’s expanding underwater imaging ecosystem and is compatible with all Kraken housing models equipped with M16 or M24 bulkhead ports.

Engineered with a 7-inch IPS display capable of producing 2200 nits of brightness, the unit enables precise focus and exposure control underwater—especially useful in bright, high-glare conditions where camera viewfinders are insufficient. With support for 4K HDMI input and output, the Kraken monitor allows users to daisy chain the signal to other devices like recorders or preview displays. The design is self-contained and pressure-rated for up to 80 meters (approximately 266 feet), eliminating the need for an external monitor housing.

The monitor supports essential imaging assist tools like waveform monitoring, LUT previews, RGB histograms, peaking, and false color exposure aids. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery (2 batteries required) integrated into the monitor’s sealed design and offers approximately 2–4 hours of runtime depending on usage and brightness settings.
