This is a great housing for the Video Camera, but when you have a mask on underwater, it is very hard to see the viewfinder to watch what you are video taping. I have the larger viewfinder open on the camera, but it is on the side and you have to keep looking at the side of the unit to see if you are aimed correctly. Even then it is hard to see what you are shooting. Over all it is very waterproof and if you just keep the camera on wide angle and not try to zoom in, you will be ok most of the time.

These ultra compact housings are molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. This "Clearly Superior" design provides full view of the camcorder, control functions, and assurance the system is safe, allowing you to see if the case is sealed properly. Removable base allows attachment of Ikelite's video light battery pack.
The basic housing measures only 4.75" wide x 6" high x 11" long with port. Totalwidth is 10.5" with removable handle bar attached, and 8" high with removable base.
These housings avoid the complications and possibility of problems associated with electronic controls, their delicate wiring, and contact corrosion. The "Quad-Seal" Ikelite camera controls are famous for their dependability. When wasthe last time you heard of them leaking even one drop of water?

Recognized for itsexceptional optical quality, our dome corrects for refraction to maximize the coverage angle while increasing color saturation and definition of underwater images.

The housings are sized and weighted for near neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. Camcorder installation is quick and simple. The clear end cap allows visual confirmation that the housing is sealed properly before you enter the water.
The patented UR/Pro color correcting filter is included with each housing to enhance the warm reds and oranges so easily diminished underwater. Perfect for sunlight situations underwater to 24m (80 feet) depth.
