Has anyone used this for underwater camera housing o-rings?

I applied it to the gasket on a go pro housing. Helped make sure it slipped into the case when closing. So I would say it will work for your application. A dry oring doesn't seal well...

No problem! However, I have lost 2 adapters already. They easily come off when you're not paying attention. I also change lenses underwater with no problems at all.

I haven't but I LOVE mine. I wear a belt case with Olympus T3 camera. The strap naturally hangs out but I love that becaus ei can grab it it and easily get it out fast as compared to fumbling around for it. Also use it underwater with floats. Good luck.

Mine shipped with O-rings installed and a spare set. Yes, you need them in place before diving. When you twist off the head they go under the head around the open end. If you don't see the grooves they are probably already in place.

I use the HV10 and the Ikelite housing. Have shot some 30+ tapes on 60 some dives with it so far with no problems. Deepest dive has been to 175ft. With ok light and visibility the video comes out like HD programming on TV. I wish the white balance control was a little easier to operate but that is a unique control so I understand that it in a "land" camcorder it is where it is. The BP315 battery lasts for 2 one hour dives and recording of a full one hour tape. I.e. the camera is on for 2 hours and records for one of those hours. So that is a enough to keep the camera in the housing for my whole dive trip and no risk for water damage by having to open the housing in a wet environment. For anyone who gets the Ikelite/HV10 combo also get the wide angel adapter and the dome port so you get a resonable wide angel to shot with underwater. --Anders

I used the Aquapac to protect my Canon 60D with Canon 18-200. I don't dare use it underwater, but it was more than satisfactory on about a dozen ship-to-shore Zodiac excursions in Antarctica. Contrary to earlier answer, it was a somewhat tight squeeze getting my lens-body assembly into the pack through the top access, but became easier with practice. Attaching the lens to the body via the screw-off lens portal is also possible. Once inside, there is more than enough space for the complete lens-body assembly. I typically removed the camera from the Aquapac once on land, because shooting while in the pack is clumsy at best. Doing much more than tripping the shutter is quite awkward. More practice would likely improve the results, but so far I have not found it necessary to devote the time. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. Yes, it is clumsy, but for me it is more than satisfactory in its primary job of protecting the goods. Good luck with your travels.

Sony makes an underwater housing for the Handycam series - it was made for the smaller mini dv video cameras but should fit the SR12. Now, if you're talking about DIVING with this housing, it is rated at 11 meters ( or is it 11 feet - not sure) - check the specs - so it's more for snorkeling I would say. I forget the model number of the housing, but it retails for around $200, maybe a bit less. Hope this helps. Tony

have used it with success but not with a filter don't know if the camera would fit with a filter on... set your camera on underwater...took a ton of pics with it in Hawaii.

I agree. I don't think it would be a snug fit, but you can try it. Also, whichever you get, beware of leaking! Check it often. Don't let even a single grain of sand get on the rubber seal. I had better luck with the case of a disposable underwater camera. Seriously.

I haven't owned it long enough (i.e. field tested it) to judge. Need to realize that there are several seals - not only the obvious perimeter seal, but internal ones around the lens and sensors. They are thin seals, very flexible, but quality. I have an old professional scuba camera and to maintain the seals you use vaseline. I'm going to use that same maintenance trick on these seals to (hopefully) maintain their integrity. Hope that helps.

I would use the snap on filters. Compromiseing the dive housing by unscrewing the mount makes me nervous. If you are not actually "diving" but just going in the water using the standard waterproof case just use the snap on filters you'll be fine.

I have had mine for 3 weeks and it has been in the ocean at least a dzoen times for more than an hour each time--both surfing and snorkling. I put my old camera in it and it fit perfect and pictures are awesome. NO leaking so far. BEST 12 dolllars I spent. I do not see many good reviews for waterproof cameras...they seem to brake alot and out of water do not take good pics or vids. Mine works awesome in and out all the time. What a genious invention!!!

The red filter snaps on to the underwater housing, but you have to buy a special underwater housing, the one with the round lens (that comes with the camera) will not work. As for water getting behind it, I don't recall I only used it for diving but it is a very tight fit.

YES, I just purchased and tested this with the GoPro Hero 3+ Dive Housing Model: AHDEH-301... Mind you this is the dive specific housing and not the housing that comes with the 3+

It worked very well for me. This case just snaps together around the camera. no leaks, no distortion from the plastic in front of the lens. You do have to memorize the buttons on your camera and practice a bit with the rubberized button covers. I used in it while snorkeling in Hawaii.

I have used mine skiing, swimming underwater, and kayaking without any issues with the camera moving out of place. Of course, I am only one user so I can't speak for all, but that has been my experience. A great little compliment to my GoPro kit.

I had them out for two monts and had zero problems. I used the command adhesive hooks and did fine. Not sure if you are planning to go underwater with your application.
