Video Housings

[Rob Evans]

FWIW, if any of you lot out there in YD-land want to get into U/W videography on the (relatively) cheap, I have an excellent housing going for v. sensible money. Only downside is, it's a bespoke Amphibico 100m rated job that'll only work with the Canon MV-1 (or Optura 1 Stateside).  Reason being I flooded it a couple of years ago, long story, entirely my fault and couldn't get a replacement as Canon don't do 'em any more (so got a lovely new Sony PC6 and rather less lovely Amphibico housing on the insurance).  
So if you fancy taking a chance on eBay with an MV1 (if you can find one) or an Optura1, then give me a shout.

PS I DEMAND AN APOLOGY from all those anal 'stills' types out there. Enny Fule No that video brings out so much more of the dive experience than bits of paper/JPEGs can    

PPS DVDs/VHS available of 2003 Mull trip available, cheap velly cheap.

Buy a Creative Muvo2 4Gb model.  Take it apart and voila, you have a 4Gb Microdrive that you can format and use in the more modern digi-cams.

Why?  cos you'll save yourself shedloads on just buying the microdrive.

Ta very much. I'll keep that in mind.

ATM, though, 1Gb will keep me going for a while methinks. I usually just download them onto the Mac into iPhoto for the short term anyway, so it's usually empty before I start, although Long Jollies abroad I don't want to take my powerbook if I can help it.

Mark.

<font color='#000080'>Thank you for all the advice... I've booked an appointment with FEP to go and see them on Saturday morning, but it's going to take me an hour and a half to get there!!!
Does anyone know of any other places in London where they sell housings?
Thank you all ........ &nbsp;x

<font color='#000080'>Hi Tim

Yeah, tried them and they only sell housings for stills cameras. They are getting &nbsp;video housings but not yet.

Thanks anyway

Sue

Oh, ah well.

Well, good luck finding something. &nbsp;If you do decide to upgrade to the higher art then we will be here (despite what that Mr Evans maybe muttering about up there - Actually, I demand an apology and &nbsp;Right, Damn NOW! )

This does not excuse you from not posting your first bits of footage when you've done it.
