Why I Love My Sony Underwater Use Sport Pack for Camcorders 4 by .. David Saddler (Wilmington, DE)
I bought the Sony Underwater Sport Pack to use with my Sony HDR-XR500 because I wanted to bring the camera to the beach. The HDR-XR500 is a very sensitive camera and you do not want to expose this camera to the fine sand at the beach. The fine sand will get into the inner workings of the camera and it will cause problems. So, by putting the camera in a water-proof enclosure before I go to the beach, I bypass this problem. But the Underwater Sport Pack enclosure is not the easiest thing to use. Because it utilizes a mirror to reflect the viewfinder's image, it is difficult to use in bright sunlight. But if you wear polarizing sunglasses, it makes it a little easier to see the viewfinder in the mirror. I wish there was a way for Sony to have incorporated a water-proof remote control for the underwater package. The controls on the exterior of the enclosure are OK, but it is hard to operate the zoom as smoothly as I could with the remote control I have on the tripod.

Good for the price 4 by .. Eric Austin (VENICE, FL, US)
This thing is a much larger then I thought it would be. The viewfinder is not really useable in bright sunlight or underwater. That said when it was strapped to my kayak the video was great and the controls easy to use even the underwater video looked great!! It does need some lead in it to make it less boyant. Great overall product for the low price!!

waterproof camcorder casing 3 by .. R. Biron (Connecticut USA)
Product arrived quickly packaged nicely. It will do the job and I'll be able to use my sony camcorder snorkling, diving and at the beach. It seems a little pricey, but protecting the camcorder and all the memories is important! Thanks!

It Is BIG 2 by .. C. Young (SOBX, NC USA)
This thing was way bigger than I expected. I just opened it, looked at it. Double checked online to see that it was for my model Sony HandyCam, then closed it back up and returned it. Never read the manual to see how my cam was suppose to mount inside it. I think I could have stuffed at least two probably three of my HandyCam CX500s inside the case. I had a Canon, camera was larger, but its underwater case was less than half the size of the Sony.
