Customer Reviews
Worked great for me!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1SZJMF6S1JOQT Took my Flip and waterproof case snorkeling in the Bahamas and it worked perfectly. No leaks, controls were easy to operate. Screen was a little difficult to see, but this was due to reflection from sun and water. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic Value and Ease of Use
I bought this to use on a recent trip to Maui, HI. All I can say is WONDERFUL. The image quality and sound are far higher than I expected on a $140 camera with a $40 housing. I have pretty extensive UW photography experience and own a number of housings for my SLRs, so I was pretty confident I could see a good seal all the way around the o-ring and hopped right in. In the ocean and the pool this camera was a winner. The lens is great in low light and thus perfect for UW work.
I'm planning to rig a mount for my BC, just turn it on and hit record before I dive, we'll see how well it does below 30' -- but thus far its been fine. Generally its the buttons on these things that just cease to work below a rated depth, but the o-ring holds a seal pretty well. Certainly do not use it outside the manufacturers specifications if you expect them to be responsible.
I am very, very pleased. Perfect for baby in the pool or snorkling/diving in open water situations.
Bad Design, Another Flip Destroyed!
I had the flip ultra camera for less than two weeks and loved it. As I live in South Florida, I really wanted the underwater case in order to film snorkeling and water park trips. I read all of the reviews here and despite some negative reviews I bought it. STUPID STUPID STUPID! I did the tissue test and the tisue stayed dry in the case. All of the buttons lined up fine. I made sure there was not a speck of hair or dust in the seal. 3 minutes and 14 seconds into the snorkel the camera case filled with water killing my flip. The people who make this case should be ASHAMED of themselves. As soon as you push the power button in underwater it allows water to flood in to the case. By the time you realize what is going on it is too late. Another Flip has been killed. I did everything I could to pre test this out. Do not buy! It made my 8 year old daughter cry.
