70% of the earth is under water. Imagine that 70%. This means that only 30% of the earth’s land mass is above it. That seems unfair right. I mean if you bought a really awesome DSLR camera, then you can only photograph 30% of the earth! Well one could say that the earth is big enough that even with only 30% of its land is visible above water, you still can’t live long enough to photograph the entire world.
But what if there’s a way that can let you photograph the earth’s beauty even if it’s under water? Will you do it?
Actually there is a way, and it’s been around for a long time too.
I’m talking about waterproof camera casings or camera housings whichever terminology you prefer. These nifty little contraptions allow you to bring your favorite cameras with you under water. These gadgets are waterproof and sealed so tight that some can even allow you to go to such depths under the water without having to worry about destroying your precious camera.
Take a look at this video for example. This one is really awesome. They’ve set up their camera with a plexiglass camera housing that allows them to shoot videos under water using a Canon 7D DSLR Camera. The slow motion editing is perfect as well. Really the world under water is such an amazing place to shoot photographs and videos that if I have enough money and time I’ll go to the nearest dive resort and enroll myself if only to be able to shoot photos and videos under water.
But before you jump up from your chair and go to the nearest store to score your own plexiglass camera housing, you might want to rethink your budget. Also you might want to do a little research on which camera casings or camera housing works for you AND your budget.
The best waterproof camera case | housing should fit your purpose and your budget. Forget about those one size fits all waterproof camera housings, you want something that fits your camera like a glove and more often than not, it will be the waterproof camera housing that’s created just for your specific camera model.
