I recently made this fantastic underwater video camera housing for only $19, and have used it to capture some great underwater footage. It has featured in the January issue of "Better Movie Making Monthly", which can be found at BetterMovieMaking.com/issue3.htm.

You can find out more about my video editing course "The Complete Guide To Better Movie Making" at bettermoviemaking.com.

I also run a regular weblog all about digital video and digital video editing, the art of capturing quality video footage, and how to transform that footage into movie memories that sum up the highlights of your life! The blog also features links to real-life examples of movies made by others, plus tips and tricks of the movie pros.

if you watch it over its not sealed on the end piece thats what the vasoline is for.
ianusher 1 year ago

yep, the end piece screws on and off to put camera in and take camera out. vaseline is to seal the threads for extra peace of mind.
see response below for new design for turning camcorder on and off while in the housing.

why did you use a 3 way tube instead of just single?
ianusher 2 years ago

Hi there, thanks for the comments.

Okay, new info on stopping and starting the camera. Initially it had to be put in the housing and left on, but one of our readers came up with a fantastic idea for an on/off switch - see here for more details:
bettermoviemaking.com/issue13.htm

omgz, the only reason that I used a three way tube instead of a single was that I couldn't find a single that fitted the camera as well as this one - no other reason.

Vaseline - yep, just for a little extra peace of mind on the threads when you put the threaded end piece on.

Enjoy,

Ian
