DIY Video Housing a success...

[MATTKINZ]

looks like nice design for o-ring. Keep in mind, O rings are easy to make from bulk o-ring material so don't have to buy expensive o-rings ,or make housing to fit a specific o-ring you have available.

A straight butt end cut with razor blade and superglue does the job.

BTW, I have 2 videos now posted to you tube. see both here:
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

One is cape hatteras shark dive, another is dive in underground lake in florida sinkhole called Devil's Den. MK

Just did my first dive with the second housing I made. This one is a little longer so I could fit the wide angle lens on the camera. The dive we did was off of Wilmington, NC on the ship wrecks Hyde and Markham. Vis was good to about 40 feet and from there down it was pretty blown out. So we hung around40 feet and watched all the sand tiger sharks. When I get home and and edit the video, I will post a lint to it here.

I finally got the video edited and up loaded. This is my Second time using my DIY Video housing and it worked great. The video is in two parts. It was from our trip August 11, 18 miles off the coast of Wilmington, NC. My son loved the Sand Tiger sharks. I have to say it was my best dive too! Hope you all enjoy!

You got some fantastic footage. I haven't had the chance to watch all the way through but I will. The sandies are great subjects for the videos. They look gnarly with all the teeth but don't threaten the divers.

good footage for the jellyfish too. Great job.

Now, I need to get a better video light.

watched the vids through. When I was with the sandies, they were on the bottom and I couldn't get any of the really great looking up at the mouth shots like you got on the markham and hyde. I will go again, don't know if next year but certainly the next after that.

Also looked at the dutch springs. Brrrr! dry suit diving. I learned to dive ina Quarry in Wisconsin. That's why I live in Florida now.

I enjoyed your videos. MK
