Flip Mino HD (relatively ) Cheap Water resistant housing

Flip Mino HD (relatively ) Cheap Water resistant housing
I was making a housing to record mini sprint races from the drivers view without ruining my $229.99 camera. So I took a trip down to the hardware store and picked up $20 worth of parts ($15 if I wouldn't have bought the safety glasses I didn't use.)

Flip Mino HD (I'm not sure if all the cameras are the same size but the Flip Mino HD is a VERY snug fit in the pipe)
