Underwater with SI2K or Mini?
How would you record underwater with these camera? Are there any underwater enclosures? If not underwater, what about waterproof enclosures?
Need to film a whitewater rafting scene. Bhaskar |

We didnt shoot underwater, we shot in a pool at water level with a wavemaker and this is what worked:
just rent a standard water proof Nylon case and a spinner glass (to remove the drops from the lens)If you still need focus and iris acces. beneathe the nylon enclosure we nylon wrapped (with foodwrapping nylon) every possible connection and cable we even wrapped the LCD so the DP had full acces to the camera in the water good luck |
