digital housing or camara

[Dee]

Boney's right about one thing....you need excellent bouyancy control in order to stay in place without tearing up the surrounding area.

If you're only talking about the camera and housing by itself, then yes...cameras are bouyant. Most cameras can be fitted with a counterweight if one didn't come with the housing.

However, all camera rigs are not bouyant. It depends on your set-up, whether you havbe a tray, arms and strobe and what kind you use.

Hi Dee,
So I am thinking about buying a C-5050 with housing and that's it for now. Would this 'counterweight' work with this camera, do you know ?!

Thanks in advance,

I just got the order in so I have not seen a tracking number or anything and I ordered if from a place I am not totally sure of....never have used them, but they look legit.

It was $538 total at 6th ave www.6ave.com

I found it acouple of other places for about the same and B&H (a place I have used for years) has it for around $560+s&h (usually around $25). I did find it a couple of other places cheaper but they were refirbs and the cost diff was not enough to get me to go that way.

So far, Newegg has the best housing price but I have not ordered it yet, want to see the camera on the way first.
