water housings for surf photography use

[djp_y2k 0]

Hi

 

I am about to buy a sony dcr pc330 video camera.

 

I am after a water housing for one but need one that will be suitable to use while being in the surf.

 

I emailed ikelite and they said that there's were not designed for this use and wasnt sure if it could cope with the odd smash from the waves etc.

 

Could any of you please recommend a housing that would be suitable for this.

 

Also for a canon eos 30 slr and a canon eos 10d digital slr if possible. Not video but still pictures

 

Thanks very much for any help.

Gates makes solid video housings, whether they make one for that camera you would have to check with them. Website anyone?

 

I know there was some thread about surf housings on here a while ago but not sure where... Anyone?

 

Bueller?

The thread TahitiMike is talking about is here. Surf housings and scuba housings are very different beasts indeed.

 

Have a look at Aquatech, in Australia. They make a range of housings for surf usage, for both video and stills.

thanks very much guys.

 

I may even have to re evaluate what camera to get if need be.

 

will check the links now.
