QUOTE(LegendLee @ Feb 13 2015, 12:45 AM) How deep do you dive ? Assuming you're a certified open water diver, max of 18m. I doubt those devices are good at more than 10 meters. Shooting at below 15meters will be very dark though. I'm a surface diver. Just around 5 to 6 metres. Deep enough to see coral and fishes.

QUOTE(treblecase @ Feb 12 2015, 11:23 PM) I've used the first one on a mirrorless & it's no good at all. It moves inside & since my lens have zoom, it might spoil it & the photo that comes out may be blocked at certain part. I think you'll be better off with those hard plastic cover (like gopro's). That bad? I don't need anything fancy though. Just good enough for a 4 metre deep picture.

QUOTE(treblecase @ Feb 13 2015, 10:03 AM) Yeah & your lens is a zoom so it moves so you gotta have certain gap when it's retracted. Hence, there's loose space in front of the lens & that's why the position of the camera in the jacket will move. That's why if you can find those GoPro like waterproof hard plastic covering is better. Can't seem to find a good hard plastic one, though. Any recommendations? Also, how's your experience using the plastic one I posted in the first post?
