Underwater camera for cheap ?
« on: October 20, 2012, 04:07:24 pm »
I recall Dave saying he worked with sonar and I know that takes a lot of waterproofing so today I saw this camera on ebay. Seems like a deal, waterproof to 20M, shockproof, 1080P HD video, G sensor and more. Wondering what Dave or others with marine experience think ?

you'd want to hope the o-ring on the back flap is good. Also, gosh it is damn ugly.

that stuff is launched in 2010 i think, that is a lifetime + eternity in the world of camera's.

I looks it's totally useless besides in bright sunlight from remarks on amazon

It's more expensive, but why not go for the gopro camera's? there is a reason why everyone uses those :)

edit: 200 usd on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-HD-HERO2-Outdoor-Edition/dp/B005WY3TI4/ref=pd_cp_p_2

Real Circuit design time in minutes= (2 + Nscopes) Testim + (40 +120 Kbrewski) Nfriends

Testim = estimated time in minutes Nscopes= number of oscilloscopes present Kbrewski = linear approx of the nonlinear beer effect Nfriends = number of circuit design friends present
