Re: Video Housings

Cliff and Don:
After careful examination of my bank account, last weekend I ordered the Ikelite housing for my Canon camcorder. I decided to try it w/o the mirror attachment for now. Don, what is your experience with the side mounted mirror? I also decided (out of necessity) to hold off on the $600 light kit! And Cliff, you are absolutely right about Light & Motion. Altough they could not accomodate my camera, their equipment lineup is impressive.
Unfortunately not in the current budget.

The Ikelite housing appears absolutely bullet-proof...I guess if anyone could break it, the airlines would certainly do a good job of it! Regardless, all the controls line up properly and do the job well. At least they do on dry land. Sea trials tomorrow. I may have more questions later...or I may be in the market for a new camera.

Thanks for the input.
