Advice?

I was just wondering if anyone could guide me to a company that would carry underwater housings for Samsung video recorders. I looked at some places, but Sony and Canon seem to be the most popular. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Select your model and it will tell you if a housing is available.

I'm pretty certain that you'll find that none of the Samsung models listed on Digideep will show that there's a housing available. Mostly because they typically only show dedicated housings for a particular model. Which to the best of my knowledge no one ever made for a Samsung camcorder.

However there are any number of generic housings that could work. Mostly of the seal-n-go variety, whereby you start the camera, seal it, dive, then shut it off and edit out all the pre/post dive footage. Some also have simple on/off controls that may be adaptable to your camera.

Look at Aquatix or Atmoseal, they both have one with a universal start/stop option.

There's also a guy selling the "Nemo 200" on eBay. It's a seal-n-go only with no controls. But if you're handy, Ikelite sells their control rods/glands separately so it would be fairly easy to engineer at least a start/stop control. I've seen them sell for as little as $189.

Another thing I've seen done using a generic "tube" housing, is that people bring their i/r remotes with them on the boat to start the camera just before they splash. This allows them to seal it back on land in a clean, dry place.

You might find some other options here
