I was really impressed with how small and lightweight this camera is. It was perfect for my snorkeling adventures in Bali. However, the battery life could be improved.
Daryl Chua –
Wonderful product! I’ve used it for both snorkeling and scuba diving, and it’s performed flawlessly. Only concern is the lack of a built-in tripod mount.
Kimberley Tan –
What a fantastic purchase! The image quality is stunning, and the camera’s housing has held up perfectly to the Pacific Ocean’s saltwater conditions. One minor issue is the limited mounting options.
Eve Wong –
Has anyone else experienced issues with the camera housing getting clogged with water pressure? Any tips on how to prevent this? I love the crystal-clear image quality, though.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Eve, thank you for sharing your concern about the camera housing clogging with water pressure. We’ve had a few instances of this issue, and our team recommends applying a thin layer of lubricant, such as silicone spray, to the O-ring of the camera housing before each dive. This should help maintain a watertight seal and reduce the risk of clogging. Additionally, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintaining the camera housing and verify that it’s properly assembled before use. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.
