Shawn, I've been trying to find the necessary parts: 6 inch PVC, hasp clamps, 6.5 inch o-ring. No luck on any of it. I looked at 4 inch PVC, but my Optura is such a tight fit, I can't imagine being able to build/install camera controls. So I gave up. Found a relatively affordable housing: Epic Elite (http://epiccam.com/ecommerce/os/catalog/product_info.php? cPath=1&products_id=28). Designed by surfers rather than divers and perfectly suits my planned usage. $269 is still a lot of money, but to be honest, I had reservations about my ability to actually build the thing. After adding the complexity of finding all the necessary parts (and finding a somewhat reasonable alternative) I decided to take the easy route.
