New Spin on WaterProofing
Summers here so I was working and came up with this I mixed http://www.rpi.edu/~bradfe/under/under.html and forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2870" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2870 I bought a clear 1010 pelican case padded it with foam so the camera fit snug to the front of the case and use an eraser to activate the record button when I squeeze the box. No adding wires and switches to the camera. I -*test*-('")ed it today at the lake and it worked fine. I might add some desicant bags for insurance, couldn't hurt. Cost Under $20 http://www.putfile.com/zac72blazer/images Enjoy!

That's ironic, your post contained the word pelican in it and the ad on the top of the page is about pelican products. I guess this forum uses keyword advertising or something.

Isn't that how google ads work? Search the page and provide relative content? Nice underwater case. I'd like to see some -*test*-('") videos. I tried mine out while I was in vegas. I was messing around with it in the pool and it worked pretty well, but at the end of playing with it, it got foggy inside. If I loaded the camera while I was inside or in some other enviroment then outside, or something...I dunno. My sister claimed it looked like a skippy jar of \\"womens sanitary products\\" for lack of a better (appropriate?) term...I felt stupid for holding it in the pool after that.

i've been putting my camcorders in zip block bags.

Fishies! Congrats on a nice case.

i've done more less the same thing, and just pressed record before sealing it in the case, i just put a small wash cloth in so it sits snugly

I got the pelican case and used a magnetic reed switch for the power button. I attached the magnet to the case strap works great. I then used a mercury switch for the record button. To start or stop recording I have to tilt the camera completely upside down. I kept all the adds internal so it still looks stock. I've used it snorkeling in the ocean 3 times now and it has worked perfect every time. Next I plan on adding a li-ion battery with internal usb charger.

my case was better, sandwitch bag and duct tape! :-)

i've been putting my camcorders in zip block bags. Me too, snack size x3 to prevent leaks
