We need a DIY sub-forum!!!
I know that as our numbers here grow, there will be many other DIYers on the ST board. So we need our own place to talk. I have one project I am starting right now.
Ok, this is a project I started researching and planning about 3 months ago. It is a DIY U/W video housing. These things cost well over $1K to buy, and that's just stupid. Many DIY projects have been completed, so I am embarking on my own. I will try to take pics and post as I go if anyone is interested. SB used to have a HUGE thread on this, but I think it vanished in the turmoil, cuase I can't find all that great info anymore.
I just picked up 1 foot of 4 inch schd40 PVC, 2 couplers, 1 endcap, and one 1/4" X 4.5" acrylic lens.
I'm half crazy for doing this. I bought the wife a brand new digital video camera for her birthday this year. She's not thrilled with the thought of me taking it underwater. I'll have to do some 150-200 depth tests on an empty case before she lets her new toy go under.
More to come later tonight, have to go!
