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.)

Parts and Tools
1' of 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe

3 end caps (an extra in case you mess up)

1 Pair of safety glasses

Black silicone

Foam (the kind that goes around air conditioners, make sure there is no adhesive on it)

Saw

Measuring tape

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)

Masking tape

Spray paint of your choice of color (I chose black because it matches the silicone I had on hand and my camera)

Scissors

Dremel

1" drill bit or any suitable tool for boring a 1" hole

Optional:

A fish tank and/or a sink.
