    LCD display for DIY video housing

    4" is pretty small. I see that they have HD LCD monitors with inputs now for about 80 bucks. But, with a 4" housing, you are going to have a small monitor. It would be nice if you could hack a monitor from an old video camera. Small and good on batteries. I have the equinox rear screen...

    Generic DIY underwater video housing

    I'm cleaning out the closet. This is a homebuilt housing that I just do not need anymore. It has been to 130' and was built for a JVC camera. The control originally was done with a magnetic switch and a remote control. I had installed an Ikelite manual control to operate the camera. This housing...

    Underwater in High Definition (Comments?)

    Ok, It seems that High Definition Cameras really seem to have an issue with low light. Using a JVC GY-HD100 you have to crank down 3 F stops to be of any use in low light. I am trying to make a decision on "if" to go to HD underwater. But I wanted to know opinions of those using HD...

    Tank Cover Patterns

    Hmm. IMHO; I would think that cloth would add much hated drag. I would also be a bit worried if you had to ditch/don the system with a cloth cover over a tank. I prefer to keep all equipment in the open so that a potential problem (leak, failure) could be seen and dealt with easily. The Scuba...

    Paint tip?

    Yep, use the Fusion paint. Also PVC sometimes has a slick coating. I turned mine on a lathe (or use wet/dry sandpaper to rough it up a bit.) I have not had problems with paint coming off using the above method.
