First video housing!!!!!

[kingprawn]

I got a Sony PC330 and Light & Motion housing just in time for a trip to Belize. The pics are great! The video is outstanding. I was the envy of everyone there!!!! Everyone said “how did you get such nice pics without a light?” The housing was simplicity it self. I had never been in the water with it, and came out with good video the first time.

Cons: The photo mode needs more light than video. Top of the reef was fine, but in holes and below 100 ft., stick to video.

Pros: Super stabilization works better than I could hope for. Given the surge I was fighting, the stability was very good.

Would you share the pricing info?

Also, how much time of video recording do you get?

I will absolutely share! This board has been a great source of info to me. I can not withhold. Problem is I filled my disk with the raw video 30Gbytes +. I’ll edit and all, then post some links.... promise.

Price: The price for the camera was 1,200. Can be found online for less, but this was close to home. The housing was 2400. A bit steep, but it is a very nice housing. I looked at http://www.underseavideo.com/ but could not get a hold of the shop to discuss the unit. My LDS had a L&M housing I could look at and hold. It was well made and very well thought out. I can not evaluate one unit over another, but I can say I like the one I got! It functioned flawlessly to 150ft. I hope to take it further in the future.
