Summer is here! So the other day we reviewed the models of underwater cameras this year, so you can take a dip and enjoy taking pictures at the same time with an underwater camera road.
But what if you want to use your SLR camera in the water? Then can you.
In the market there are many qualities and finishes of cases depending on the manufacturer, we can find brand soft waterproof covers x by eBay for less than 20 €, soft covers submersible known brands around the 100 € to submersible rigid housing more than 2000 € that are geared to photography underwater photography and water sports but these discuss in upcoming posts.
Today we leave you with several brands and models of bags or soft dry bags for SLRs, which are thecheapest option we have to use our SLR in the water, and so do some special feature or just another type of photography experience.
Waterproof Cases for DSLR soft
Usually such cases are generic, ie they apply to many types and different camera models, from mobile devices to compact cameras dslr SLR models are the ones we care about.
Over time the soft waterproof covers have improved, they are now more resilient and manageable. It takes a much more accessible than rigid housing, but also have their limitations .
- The camera control: As generic (you can use it in several models of cameras) and flexible polyurethane produced, control and camera settings may be complicated depending on the situation where you are, the same way the assembly and dismounting can be apratoso.
- Although these covers are waterproof and submersible up to 5m, not intended for use under water very long, so use caution that you give, I speak from experience.
Remember that here you just present the options we have in the market and we rely on information from the manufacturers. For warranty information and advise you to consult them.
What do I need? Everything depends on the use you want to give and the love you have on your camera.Remember that we will get our camera + lens, so better safe than sorry, I recommend that before you think about anything good and study all the possibilities you have.
