Armand, I completely agree with you. The housings that I had looked at previously were extremely expensive, especially in comparison to the camera… which if I was going to be making a living off underwater photography I’d gladly pay… but to have on vacations and for small fun shoots… just couldn’t justify.

My friend Shane just ordered one for his trip to Maui so we’ll see what kind of awesome stuff he does with it!

Thanks for sharing this. I once looked into an underwater housing but was put off by the fact that it cost more than the camera itself. This looks like a more affordable option. Interesting to see how you can still use the camera controls to a certain degree. Good point about using goggles too, that wouldn’t have occurred to me either to be honest :-)

Hi Chris!

Thanks for checking it out… and you’re welcome!

I have more great work coming from the housing. We actually didn’t get to do the shoot we wanted to in Hawaii… we had a little fun snorkeling but the photo shoot was impossible because of water clarity issues (a storm was coming and there was just too much movement in the water). We are going to do that photo shoot here in CA in a swimming pool next week instead.

Yes I totally forgot to mention that I found the instructions after I had downloaded them from the internet. I just fixed the text in the post so it now mentions that.

Thanks for making a great video about our housing!

It’s the first SLR video made in an ewa-marine that we have seen! (the ones we have don’t have the function…)

By the way: The manual should be in the side pocket of the yellow transport bag. Just open the zipper on the side. At least that’s where we put them in final assembly.
