Nikon ZR Housing

Nikon ZR housing

From carefully staged scenes to spontaneous run-and-gun videos, the ZR is the perfect tool for taking storytelling to the next level. With an in-camera recording capacity of up to 6K/60p and a comprehensive range of professional video formats, it offers the flexibility to suit virtually any platform and workflow. Standout features include an exclusive R3D NE codec that introduces proven RED color science at Nikon. In addition, the ZR has a dual-base ISO sensitivity of 800/6400, which maintains the sensor's dynamic range of more than 15 stops for maximum detail in highlights and shadows.

For agile setups, the ZR's tilting and rotating 4-inch monitor is a great advantage. The large and bright display serves as a comprehensive control center and covers the DCI-P3 color space for precise color reproduction on set. As the picture is only half the story, the ZR also stands out as the world's first camera1 with integrated 32-bit float audio recording. The dynamic range of 32-bit audio is so wide that levels do not need to be constantly monitored during filming: Audio can be recorded freely and levels can be adjusted in post-production without clipping.

Other professional ZR features include complete weather sealing and a wide range of optional lenses thanks to compatibility with Nikon and third-party lenses. In addition, the ZR offers extensive system expansion capabilities and the new optional ME-D10 digital directional microphone from Nikon with multiple polar patterns for different shooting conditions.
