Im currently using a Panasonic GS-12 video camera in a generic Aquatix tube housing with a single record/pause button. Id like to move up to something less bulky and with more control over the camera. My problem is trying to do this without breaking the bank. I realize that Ill likely be going four digits price-wise, but Im hoping to go not too far past that.
Im in the market for something Im not even sure exists a video camera/underwater housing package. What I mean is something along the lines of the Sea & Sea camera/housing packages that are sold as a single unit or all the Olympus cameras that are affordable for diving because the company makes their own inexpensive housings. Does anything similar exist for video cameras? I dont need HD or anything particularly complicated Ill shoot with natural light until I can afford a lighting system. But for now, Id like to get a U/W video setup that wont kill my wallet. Ikelite housings and the like are excellent, but a little pricey. So does anyone make less expensive options like a package deal of some sort? Am I being realistic or running a fools errand? Any suggestions would be welcome.
