Great video clips, KoiGuy! Watched them both several times. And, for those of you that want to get an underwater camera, did you know that almost EVERY digital camera can be made into an underwater just by buying the case? I didn't know it, until I started diving, and was looking at the expensive underwater ones, niece told me. So, if you REALLY want to get pics and videos, check them out on the internet. Might get it cheaper, and already have a camera you know how to use.

Glad you enjoyed them CountryEscape...might look into a case! thanx

Thats awesome! Great looking fish too!
Sign me up for the bet. Though Im gonna wait until the rain stops and give it a go this weekend when good weather is promised. And Ill probably be too chicken to use a single bag, and instead use two.

I might also try something with a "spycam" I have laying around.. somewhere. Its actually a flycam I used to put on RC planes, and you can make timelapses with it and stuff, but the battery is broken. Still might be fun to let it take pictures every minute for a day or two, though I might want something more sturdy than a zip loc bag for that. Perhaps ill use an aquarium turned upside down or something, Ill see.

vertigo.. i ziploced the bag after removing most of the air...left enough slack so the lens could come out.. i taped the opening of the bag with scotch tape past the ends to ensure a good seal.and folded the bag up and taped it again. you want the camera in the bag upside down, so when your using it the bags opening is down. and as i filmed i made sure the plastic was pulled snug over the lens....i look forward to seeing you video.

Barely more expensive than your ziploc

Cool, thanks! had to find it in US Ebay but I ordered one just to see how it works. i tried the ziploc nad and it worked but wasn't very clear. I have a older camera I'm not worried about ruining so I figured it's wrth a try for $6.

[koiguy1969]

anxious to see how it goes..if you have good luck maybe i'll get one! then i can fasten it to a length of pvc pipe (1/2") and film as a fish would see moving about the pond....now that would be cool!!

 

[vertigo72]

Ive ordered a new battery for my flycam. Its small enough I could attach one to my biggest koi without hindering it too much I think lol. Image quality is rather lousy though, dont expect anything like yours

[koiguy1969]

the fish may see it as a parasite and flash himself to exhaustion trying to remove it... could be a stresser!!

 

[vertigo72]

I wasnt serious. Though it would be cool .

 

[koiguy1969]

an R.C submarine?.....thats the ticket!....lol
you could paint it to look like a koi!!!...hahahahahaha!
