Nemmy Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 How did you make WaterCam? Would it be safe to submerge in a pool? Is there a waterproof video camera case out there that works more efficiently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Electric Tape and a Ziploc Bag Not really, although we did a few times! Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 So, let me guess how you did it: You cut a hole in the bag for the lens. You taped the hole down to the camera so no water could get through, and taped the open side of the bag shut. That's funny, it looks different here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 ^ That's because that was not our "water cam rig" that was our "protect the camera from the Typhoon with whatever we have handy" rig. --Robb "We can't give away ALL our secrets!"

Nemmy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Oooooh. But if I want optimal results (taking my camera on a water slide that's very wet, or Dudley Do-Right), I should fork over $100+ on a camcorder case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 ^ Just use a plastic bag, a little bit of electric tape and your imagination. I am sure you will come up with something. // managed to get my camera out of Epcot bone-dry on Monday. My shoes, shirt, socks, underwear, and hair were a different story all together.

benzo41190 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 if it is in a bag, wont the humidity ruin the camera when its in the bag. Also is that good for the lense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Actually, there is a water proof case for Video cameras. Just go to Epiccam.com. They have a water case that works on almost any Video camera. I plan on buying it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 ^ But how expensive are they? I know there is a underwater case I could get for my Canon A85 digital camera. But I checked into it and it turned out the case was just as expensive as the camera itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunder001 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I have one of these on order from a friend who owns his own computer store. Does the trick for the wet rides from what I am told, and not to much damage on the pocket either. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=SPKHCA&Dept=cameras&CategoryName=acc_DIAccessories_DICarryingCases_SportJackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 The safest route would be to use a manufacturer approved waterproof housing (case). That way at least your camera could still be replaced under warranty if damaged. But as others have suggested, there are cheaper alternatives that will probably work just as well...

benzo41190 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I wonder how well that sports pack camera would work for editing video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
