Stop messing about - just get a Sub-driver! -
This little camera is due out shortly-
It's a high definition camera/camcorder with a little swivel lens, which means you could mount it horizontal in a pressure hull. Not waterproof, but the prospect of HD underwater footage is enticing. Only fly in the ointment is that uses Sony's expensive memory sticks instead of the much more cost effective SD cards. -
Looks just like night vision googles the Special Forces or SEALs use. Lol.
Check out their wrist cam.
Too bad it's unavailable right now.Last edited by redboat219; 03-10-2009, 10:26 AM.Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

Looks like a perfect SubRegatta demo loaner!Comment

Frankly to me its look a POS. would't buy one for diving with. Big lump on your head, easily to get tangled on your hoses / coral / just about anything.
Keeping your mask on with a group of divers around you is hard enough anyway without making the mask bigger.Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

Wow, What kinda Wild games does your diving group Play, that would knock your mask off? :eek:
Just kidding, I know what you're saying.
Cameras tend to get in the way, no matter where you try to hang them, since the well equiped diver has too much gear hanging all over already.
But if you want to take pictures, It's gotta be in the way Somewhere. :D
I agree tho, It's better to loose the camera than it is the Mask.Last edited by toppack; 03-18-2009, 10:43 PM.Rick L.

Depends what course you take, one i had involved a weekend of torture having mask removed every few minutes and gas turned off, survived that ;)
Plus if you want to get some nice up close video of say a moray eel, better to hold camera at arms length than to stick your face up close:eek:
but for in a pool videoing subs it would be interesting, although i reackon a stand alone camera would still be cheaper.Next time someone points out it takes 42 muscles to frown, point out it will only take 4 muscles to b1tch slap them if they tell you how mnay muscles you need to smile:popComment

Yes, it depends a great deal on what you will be taking pictures of, where and how deep you will be taking them, as to wheather that type camera is practical or not. And of course how much money you can spend on 'impress the neighbors' type toys, is critical also. :DLast edited by toppack; 03-19-2009, 10:03 AM.Rick L.

You could get an actioncam and clip it to the side of your head, like the borg!Comment

They've been down to about 10 feet without any problems, they'd go a lot deeper with a bit of modification, but most peopel using them with model subs just want to film at fairly shallow depths, and the Actioncam provides and inexpensive and simple way of doing it.Comment
