I was very disappointed.The camcorder had to be forced into the case, then the case wouldn't shut. I sent it back. They were great about the return, though.
Just got this. I'm better off using a zip lock bag. Once the camera was in the case the power switch doesnt work.
I had to force it in there and its in there so tight that when I shut the case it pops open due to stretching the plastic. I'm glad to see based on the reviews that the case has worked for some but I'm heading to cozumel in a couple weeks and there is no way I'm trusting my camera in this thing. I have the Ultra HD camera black and chrome and it hardly fits in the case.
I jumped back on Amazon to make sure I had the right one for my camera and it appears I do. I had to use a fork to get my camera out of it. Not going to bring my camera underwater then have the case pop open.
very poor design. I think thats the plan.
What you have to do is press record on the surface and just record the whole thing and the zoom wont work that deep either and if it turns off your screwed, but for 30 bucks or whatever what can you expect. Well I went to southern Thailand and I wanted to record it so I bought an HD Flip and this case.Now if your going to be snorkeling or just dont want to ruin your flip its great. When you get to about 20 feet down it doesn't work the pressure is too much for this case. The good thing about it is I went down 30 feet twice and it still works ,but make sure you keep some wipes on you because the eye gets greasy from suntan oil and you have a bad picture. Ohh and be careful when you delete on flip software you might erase your entire vacation.But it's a good excuse to take another one.
I attempted to use this case while sailing and snorkeling in the carribean during a two week trip and was never able to get any video that was worth viewing. This is a fine case if you intend to take above the water videos; however, as an underwater case it is nearly impossible to use. The viewing lens is at best difficult to see underwater.in fact, most of the time you'll be seeing the reflection of the sun, or worse, you and your dive mask reflected by the casing. I have a number of high end underwater cameras ( not video) and have captured some awesome stills so I do know what a good underwater camera is capable of doing. This case is definitely not in that category.
I was worried about ordering this after reading all the reviews but I decided to take a chance. The picture quality really wasn't affected either. The case worked really well. No leaks at all. I would tell anyone to take a chance and get this. I did do the tissue test first and then when I put the Flip in the case I left it in throughout the whole trip so I didn't have worry about getting the gasket dirty.
