Gates UW Housing & Sony Camcorder

[TRIG]

I have a Gates housing and a Sony. I learned from one mistake I made. Get a model that looks through the lens of the camera for shooting and doesn't use the video display screen. With mine the design has me looking at the display screen in the housing and it uses batteries about 4 times faster.

Good point, thanks for the info, it helps to narrow the search.

Hi There :

In the end i bought a Gates housing for a Sony PC105, it looks very smart, but i have no idea how to use it! Can anyone suggest any good underwater video camera books to buy? The Jim Church one looks good but it is next to impossible to get hold of a copy.

I am going to take the housing out for a pressure test tommorow, we are off to Ocean Frontiers on the east end of Grand Cayman for a dive and will do it then.

Cheers - Bob
