Canon WP-V1 Case

[wradar]

Good afternoon, everyone!

I'm just getting into this whole diving thing, and figure that, at some point soon, I'll want to take some pictures and videos. I already have a Canon HF200 camera, but not the WP-V1 case for it. As it is no longer manufactured, finding one is a bit of a hassle.

Does anyone have one for sale, or know where I might find one? If so, please reply or PM me the info.

Thanks, and I look forward to getting underwater!

Have a great day,
-Will

watch eBay - one sold there last month.

I'm fairly certain that the WP-V2 (also discontinued) would work also with a little shimming.

There's a post about it somewhere in the videography forum - someone else couldn't find one either. A quick search found this reference to it but I can't locate the other thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ca...n-wp-v2-wp-v3-enclosures-what-fits-these.html

I have seen people mod HF M200s into the V2 case (which canon say only fits M3 series)

You can get those on Amazon - for more than they cost when they weren't discontinued...

My buddy has a WP-V1 - it's been completely solid for 3 years now. He added a ULCS handle/tray/arms for his video light also. $200 approx. thru Reef Photo.

Thanks, Steve! I'll check into the V2 option, and set up an eBay alert for a V1. Everything I've seen about them indicates that they're really good cases. I hear that adding a wide-angle lens to the rig lends to a bit of a balance problem, but some modding seems to take care of that.

Again, thanks!
