Step 15Enjoy!
Since completing the housing and testing it, I took it to the pool a few times, and the kids and I have had a lot of fun playing with it. It can be a bit hard for the kids to keep the camera steady underwater, but they do a good job of it and have a blast. The housing is easy enough for me to handle that I can swim underwater while holding it, and you can turn it toward yourself as well: that is, if you want to see silly videos of yourself with bubbles blowing out of your nose.
I was concerned about how the colors would look, as there are lots of amateur underwater photos and videos where the colors are washed out. However, with my camera set to bright sunlight, the colors came out fairly well, although the above-water colors are very washed out. I havent yet tried to let the camera auto-adjust it, but as my video camera has a built-in Easy button, I will try that on a future outing.
Posting videos is new to me, so hopefully this gives an idea of how it looks. The squeaking sound is my wet hands against the plastic housing - not sure what to do about that yet, but maybe some friction tape would fix it. I also have some vid captures below.
