DiCAPac WP-S10 - Waterproof case for DSLR with lens - Waterproof up to 5 meters underwater

I used this with my canon 70d 18-135mm lense and it certainly kept the water out, it was bone dry inside the case after a whole day of mass water flights in Thailand for the Thai new year. There wasn't a great deal of reflection or unwanted light caused by using the case either. Due to the section which houses the lens being so long you could see the black circle shape on the frame unless you hold the bag back making the end run flush with the lense, in the end I just taped the thing in place. Operating the controls for instance changing mode was fairly difficult once the camera was inside the bag but using the back controls and main fail wasn't a problem... For the price I would highly recommend, it cost a fraction of the price in other waterproofing options. That said I rarely fully submerged the camera for sustained periods, the longest was a a few minutes at around 1.5m and this was fine. I felt nervous about going deeper for longer periods but there wasn't any signs it couldnt last longer I just didn't want to risk it. The weakest areas of the bag were the finger holes where the plastic felt a little thin, but so long as you're careful putting your fingers inside it should be fine.

I'm a professional videographer and last week I climbed 3 mountains in Wales. I knew i was going to need to something to protect my Canon DSLR against the weather. I did some research into underwater housings/cages and carry bags and this was the one everyone was raving about. The price is good value and the build quality is up to scratch. It performed beautifully in keeping my camera dry in horrendous rain and wind. I was sceptical of how the plastic lens cover effects the overall quality of footage, but its fine, and works beautifully. I haven't got round to testing the underwater capabilities of this bag yet but i am hoping to get some footage soon. Cons: - Its slightly awkward to adjust settings and dials on your camera once its fully wrapped up in the bag - the lens cover part of the bag is quite long (suitable for telephoto zoom lenses) but when using a small 18-55mm lens you have to be constantly aware of the lens cover as it can create some unwanted vignetting if the bag gets jolted or is moved. these two cons knock it down from 5 stars to 4 stars, because when you are shooting guerrilla style documentary footage it can be quite awkward to change settings and moving the lens cover into position equate to seconds lost from the golden shot. But it certainly does the job of keeping your camera dry! Definitely an essential bit of kit for any action/sports/wildlife video and photo enthusiast.

Working in photography as a profession I was sceptical about this, but after testing in the bath first, done multiple shoots in the sea and it works perfectly. Would imagine it’s harder if you don’t have mirrorless camera, being able to use all the control through the screen on the back is very helpful!

Read a lot of reviews on these and figured it a good purchase for underwater photography. I disagree though, it does give a new angle to photography, granted; however it's not that easy using the cameras functions and I find that I always have to hold in the lens cover otherwise it interferes with pictures

I have just come back from a trip away and am £4000 pounds worse off thanks to this terrible bit of kit. I followed all the instructions to the letter but the moment you fully submerge (only a foot below the water it leaks) to my cost I only noticed too late as it is so difficult to operate the camera once it is in the package, 1 body written off, lens behaving eratically. Lesson learned you get what you pay for, save your money and time and invest in a proper waterproof housing if you are serious about getting your camera in the water, that's what I will be doing.

Works a treat, it's great if you don't want to spend thousands on underwater gear and is something you'll only use occasionally for fun.

I bought this bag to use with my Nikon D7100 and D750 cameras for underwater pool photo shoots and it has worked very well for me. The bag is made of a thick, durable plastic with waterproofed seams. There are several foam inserts to help you position your camera to fit it best. I beleive it would fit a camera with a battery pack on it fine. It does a good job of keeping water out of the bag, and for the price is a very reasonable option. I always check that it is fully waterproof before each use, just to be safe. I also place silica gel packages (purchased separately) inside to absorb any moisture or condensation. While it is a great option if you are on a budget, there are some drawbacks. The lens casing area is extendable and will fit longer lenses as well as shorter ones. It is probably a bit easier to use it with a lens that fills the extendable area, though I'm just assuming because I don't own one that does. I've used it with an 85mm prime and a 35mm prime lens and I had to kind of pull the extendable area back halfway to make sure the hard plastic lens cover was as close to the front of my lens as possible. This was often a bit fiddly to do, and occasionally the cover ring was visible in my shots. It is also difficult to make a lot of setting adjustments once the camera is in the bag, though this will probably depend on how easy it is to change settings on your individual camera. I wouldn't use this for a casual day shooting at the beach, it is just a bit too much of a hassle. But if you want to do occasional underwater photo shoots and can't afford the £1K+ for an ikelite case etc, then this is a good option to allow you to do something that you couldn't otherwise do.

Tricky keeping the font lens cover over the lens while shooting, otherwise functionally very good.

Es de un material que am tacto se siente resistente, ya que se ve muy bien hecho. Mi cámara es un canon 7D y cabe perfectamente, de hecho otra más grande podría entrar. Es difícil de usar en la parte del lente pero también tiene espacio para que pueda manejarlo. Yo no la usaré dentro del agua sino en lugares como en el mar cuando voy a en una lancha o lugares con cascadas para evitar q se salpique mi cámara.

Ça fonctionne et c'est pas cher pour aller dans l'eau. On peut faire des reglages mais c'est difficile de tourner les molettes. Les boutons y a pas de soucis. Il faut absolument mettre du silica gel pour limiter la buée comme dans tous les caissons je pense. les images sont légèrement floues peut être que je ne suis pas encore au point avec le hublot. Mais ça permet de prendre des photos inédites de mon fils dans la piscine. je suis quand même pas ultra confiant pour l'instant sur l'épaisseur du plastique et les multiples coutures je pense que ça peut dechirer si on touche quelque chose ou se faire percer par un insecte ou devenir "poreux" après quelques années et changements de température. Du coup je vérifie de temps en temps l'étanchéité dans un évier avec du sopalin. Pour l'instant ça ressort sec donc c'est bien étanche. avec le boîtier dedans je reste à la surface.

So far so good, have used it 3 times now and had some good results. It's not the easiest thing to shoot with as visibility is difficult. But it keeps the water out. Make sure you seal it properly and check with a tissue before use to make sure it's still working.

I was a little apprehensive buying this, as I imagine you are too, after looking at all the negative reviews; But here's the deal. You get what you pay for. It's not a professional, underwater rig that will allow you to get a flawless shot every time. But it is also NOT a spawn-of-satan contraption designed to murder your expensive camera. DOES IT WORK? Instead of just signing myself into an insane asylum by throwing my DSLR into a modified Ziplock bag and tossing it into a pool, I did numerous tests by putting paper towel in the bag and submerging the the device in a pool for various amounts of time. After the paper towel repeatedly emerged dry, I took a deep breath and put my camera in the housing with much trepidation. Once opened and examined, all was found to be dry, safe, and in perfect working order. I have done about ten total tests of this housing using different lenses and settings and still have a working, fully functional canon T5i! So worry yourself not! If you properly test your product and follow the directions, you should have no issues with the safety of your camera. IS IT USEABLE? That's a tricky question to answer. Frankly, it is VERY difficult to operate under water. (It's difficult to operate out of water too). Your manual control is limited as there are only three finger ports in the housing and they don't really help a whole lot. The bag is also very hard to manhandle under the water. Imagine you've put your camera in an inflatable pool floaty and are trying to swim under water with it. Let's just say it's a good cardio work out. I would recommend getting some cheap wrist or ankle weights and putting them in the bag along with your camera to help even out the weight and also to help keep your camera positioned properly in the bag. WHY THE 5 STARS? Like I said: You get what you pay for. It does what it advertises. With this, you can get footage underwater without losing your $700 camera. Is it professional? No. Does it work? Yes. I'm happy with it.

I was skeptical but this kept my camera 100% dry while submerged and easy to use! I used it in a pool, about 1-2m deep
