Re: [Paddlewise] Camcorder Waterproof Housing

Rex
I've used a few of their still camera housings and lights.
Took them deeper than 100' and never had a bit of trouble.
A word of caution.
You MUST pay attention to the O-Rings. Keep them lubed and super clean.

>I'm looking for a waterproof housing for my Sony HI8 Handycam CCD-TRV85.
Most of my recording will be above the water but I also would like to do
some shallow underwater recording.  I'll be using it in some of the kayak
classes I teach to evaluate technique.
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/) in New York that will be selling it for $650
plus shipping.

>Is anyone out there using a camcorder with a waterproof housing?  Any words
of advice for me before I make this purchase?  I've heard that Ikelite makes
a quality product but have no experience with them.  Any other companies I
should look at?
