DIY Video Housing Plans Needed...

[Bob3]

A small Marine Biology department from a SE Asian university is in need of a video housing, I recommended a "Do It Yourself" variety because of their tiny budget.
Anybody know of any freebie housing plans?

Padi Pro might be able to help you. I got great plans for a canister light from him

There is also a guy from canada that has them on eBay for $4.95 sometimes. He is the same guy that does the canaster light and scooter plans.

If you are looking for a simple housing with no controls, building a housing is no big deal.
I got all the materials I needed locally and built one over the course of a weekend.
The main body is 6 inch schedule 80 pvc, the lenses are 1/2 inch plexiglass. I used 1/8 inch sheet rubber for a simple gasket to seal it up. As far as contols, I just seal the camcorder up and then use the remote to start it when I'm ready to dive.
It's not perfect, but the price is right and it suits my purposes.
