Hey guys! I made a Step-by-Step Guide to make an underwater housing for a camcorder. Since I wanted to keep the costs down, I decided not to buy one, but rat…

I shall try this. Thanks very much.

has anyone else had success with this? Im really interested in trying this.
remote shutter release
small dry bag (amazon $10)
click away
For a camera you could set it on a timer to take a picture every 30 seconds maybe? Depends on your camera’s settings I guess. But yeah, probably not an easy way.
“Then you take this part.. stick that.. in there.. and then the lens in that part, and connect this thing with that part” haha!
Anyways, thanks for a great vid! Ill try to make one myself!
GOOD WORK BOSS
Has anyone tested the housing at 300 feet?
me again. I was thinking, would it be possible to make a little hole in the side for a remote trigger, also the trigger device would have to be waterproof too. Any idea’s guys?
so how do you take pictures when its all sealed up, I guess its just for camcorders, set it before you mount it in the housing. simple and effective, well done but not quite what I’m looking for.
Do those pipes come transparent? Its a very nice video. I’m going snorkeling soon and I want to take some pictures. Those Aquapac things are expensive where I live so I thought I’d do something like this. Any idea how I could make a housing for a still camera?
that would be awesome to put like mini servos and propellers on it an make an underwater bot :D
you can use beanbags to weight it down and secure the camera
I usually use a GoPro but I really want to use my canon p500 under water at the beach to get some shore break shots. My cam is a DSLR crossed with a point and shoot camera, do you think this will work?
great vid i will try it out
i been wanting to do this but i also want some ir leds for deep water can you show us some videos from it under water?
A guy used a condom to make his water proof and it works fine.
Quality video and info. Thanks!
@javjinos you can just buy a shutter release remote
ma what about the sea pressure?
great job, smart idea Thanks for this post, Cheers
ok! that’s a cool and clever idea about how to make your own waterproof case…but how can you use your dslr camera ????i mean you can’t even press the shutter button…!
