Plastics are often used to protect computer monitors, cell phone screens, and other video displays from scratches, dust, and minor water sprays. They can also be used to protect still and video cameras not only from minor water sprays but even when submerged. This is precisely what the Aquapac Waterproof Camcorder Case 465 is for.
Made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), the Aquapac 465 is transparent giving you a clear view of your video camera inside the bag including all its control knobs and buttons. It is also elastic which means that you can manipulate all those controls adjusting them to your desired settings for image composition. As the TPU is ultra-violet ray stabilized, it will not discolor nor will it be broken down due to exposure to sunlight.
Images are recorded through a hard lens window made of optical-quality LENZFLEX material so you are assured of clear and crisp videos faithfully reproducing the colors and motions of the subjects. And you can keep on recording even 15 feet underneath the water surface.
Water is kept out of the bag with the Aquaclip Sealing System. This consists of two elongated pieces of light injection-molded plastic, one of which features a “V” groove (female part) while the other has a matching “V” protrusion (male part). When the two are fastened to each other using levers on the male part with the open end of the bag in between them, the bag is hermetically sealed thus preventing the seepage of water inside. Being made of plastic, these are impervious to rust. They are fastened to the TPU bag by flexible clips.
Attached to the seals is a shoulder strap for carrying comfort. This, however, is detachable so that it will not interfere with your shooting especially underwater.
Plenty of camcorders can fit into the Aquapac Waterproof Camcorder Case 465. If yours is six inches from the front to the rear and 14 inches in girth, it will easily slide into the case for protection from water, and also dust and sand.
