    CASWELL Underwater Camera

    Are these cameras still available?

    Do they have a good resolution?

    Where can you get them from?

    First off, a bit of housekeeping: Be sure you note the difference between Sub-Driver.com and Caswell Plating. Caswell is now entirely separated from subs and handles completely different products. Sub-Driver.com transferred ownership to the Nautilus Drydocks back in November and is now operating as the Nautilus Drydocks.

    I assume you're referring to the waterproof Oregon Scientific cameras that were sold years ago. Those are no longer being offered, however there are a whole host of new camera options that you can get cheaply and easily through companies like Amazon. I recently grabbed this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Great value for $40!

      Bob,
      That is a fantastic find! Maybe David needs to make a towing package for this model!
      Peace,
      Tom
      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

        Towing package. A length of the two-pound fishing line you recommended will do it, Tom ... and maybe a long stick to stabilize the things.

          Have you played with that line? I had images of you calling me names as you tried to tie it. I have trouble doing that. Did it help?

            First off, Tom, I want to thank you publicly for sending me that small mono-filament line. This weekend I used it at Israel Fest and the footage shows (or does not show) how effective it is. I hope to have that up on YouTube this week. Good stuff.

              David, not fishing for a thank you, so thank you for the thank you. I was more interested in if it helped.
              Glad it did! Now I know what to use :-)

                I just noticed that ALL of these fine examples of the artisan's art are in 1/96 scale!!! That's right folks - 1/96 scale. I rest my case - not that my case needs a rest, I'm just sayin'

                      That's the little 1/144 Trumpeter KILO kit. Always my second-best runner at the pool. I did bring along the SWM 1/96 KILO, but it was in the water when that shot was taken. Here it is:







                      That model has Kevin McLeod's Depth Controller. Making it the perfect model to let kids drive (under close supervision). All they have to do is steer as I mother-hen the throttle.

                          There's a bit of late night Zulu-ing going on here.
