A must have for beach vacations!!
2008-10-02
 |
| We bought this item for our trip to Myrtle Beach, and could not be happier with it. It worked perfectly - my husband took the camera out into the ocean and even got some underwater video. From the ocean to building sandcastles on the beach, our camera stayed completely dry and sand free. It was a tad difficult at times to see the video camera's display screen because of the sun, but if you shielded it with your other hand, you could see it. This product helped us get some great video with our brand new video camera. I recommend it for anyone planning to take video near the water. |

Sony SPK-HCD Waterproof Sports Pack
2008-08-19

Cool, affortable item. You can record and protect your camera in very difficult environment. I was using it for a week in the ocean and the beach. It did its job.
Only 2 problems:
It's hard to see the picture on a camera's display during sunny days,
The case is not too well design to see the picture through front viewer, witch your camcorder may not even have.
I strongly recommend it!

Keeps it dry but problems!
2008-08-13

I used the Sony SPK-HCD Waterproof Sports Pack with my older camcorder Sony DCR-TRV33, which is not listed as compatible. I was still able to use it except that I had to start the camera with its remote control pointing to the LCD monitor before going into the water. I was not able to use the controls on the Sports Pack, but that was not a problem for me since I had to do a beach shoot that was not deeper than 4 - 5'.
The good and the bad:
The Sony SPK-HCD certainly keeps the camera dry, bone dry; however, it is almost impossible to see what you're filming in the bright sun of South Florida. I couldn't see what I was filming underwater either, perhaps because at 4' deep, the reflection of the sun still filtered through. Other problems with the glass: The glass area is so big in comparison to the lens of a camcorder that even if you point the camera to your subject, you might get a portion of it, especially if you are close. The glass is also very prone to get smudged or have huge drops suspend themselves on it, making that part of the footage useless. Luckily, I would check the footage often and would re-shoot certain scenes over. This, of course, took up much more of my time and that of my talent. It was very frustrating.
The images and sound are very good, though.
Recommendations:
I would recommend not using the Sports Pack outside of the water in bright sunlight in order to see what you are shooting and have more control of its outcome.
Perhaps it is possible to see what you are shooting if you are diving much deeper, as in scuba diving. |

High Quality But Missing One Important Ingredient
2008-08-09
|
| This is a product that meets most expectations. Quality components, advanced controls, etc. It was highly protective of my video camera both in and out of the water. Controls were easy to use. The electronic interface was easier to use than the manual controls on advanced still and video camera underwater housings. The recommended depth is somewhat shallow, and I will admit to taking it a bit deeper than advised without problems. One minor complaint: The supports for the mirror apparatus were difficult to keep in place while filming. One major complaint: The unit is not weighted to be neutrally buoyant. I required 6-8 additional pounds of weight to take the camera in this housing to depth. |
