Underwater Camera Housings

So you've got a big idea for a story, but you need to shoot it underwater. What's out there for you to beg, borrow or steal? This interesting article from DV.com by Ken Gordon of Xtreme Video Magazine runs through the different options, from aluminium cases rated to 300 ft, to plastic bags designed to keep splashes off at sea level.

It also contains the odd handy tip.

When shooting half-under and half-over the water, rub the lens port with an apple to avoid water droplets on the upper part of the shot.

Article - Requires Registration.
But as I'm fond of saying, if you aren't already registered at DV.com, what's keeping you?
