Mary, I use something very similar, don't remember the brand name but I had to order it from a company in Florida if that helps. Works great except for one very annoying problem. Water drops on the optical plastic make for some fuzzy photos. I first used mine on a 13 1/2 NM open ocean crossing to the Channel Islands in CA. Nobody in the group was able to keep from getting water drops on most of their photos. Even trying to keep a dry cloth in a PFD pocket doesn't work when your hands keep getting splashed from waves and swells. Still it is better than nothing, and will also allow you to keep your camera handy so it can be used.
