Poor Form with My Housing--POP!

Cacia · Nov 11, 2006

So, I got distracted cleaning the boat up and left my camera in the housing on the dock in the hot sun, dome port up, and forgot about it for a couple hours. Then I picked it up..and it sounded like a little explosion and the port popped off. I think the air expanded and blew the port off. Once it cooled down..it looked okay.

Anything I should know besides water testing it?

Has anybody ever had this happen, or I am I the only mess-up?

Yikes! I haven't even heard stories of this from real life

Hope it's all OK.

Hopefully, you just popped the cork on an o-ring seal. No physical damage? Whew, no harm no foul!

I am not very careful.

(I think secretly...I want to upgrade....I mean 4 years with this set up...its time)

My subconscious is working, i think.

Get a swim step first!

Mrs. Catherine, I don't "know" but have seen a lot of your post, just wanted to say, "nice, new avatar" Your old one was pretty, but the new one is interesting, like the color scheme.

Get it all set up, camera, strobes, etc. and see if everything works in air. Then water test it without the camera. If that works too, you lucked out
