McMaster Carr is the secret. http://www.mcmaster.com I have enough material to build three housings...about $80. My housing: http://groups.msn.com/Divelight/wpdigicamhousing.msnw 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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Awesome link. I can indeed get everything I need at McMaster Carr. Your housing is most impressive as well. Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to pull the trigger on that "store bought" unit after all. I'll wager you put a lot of time into building that housing.

Hi John, Probably 5-6 hours into the housing. The most time was in bending the control rods to fit the power/record button. Shawn --- John Snoddy <john_at_snoddy.com> wrote: > Awesome link.
