How to Prevent Camera Housing Fogging: The Ultimate Guide for Underwater Photographers
Every underwater photographer eventually faces the same invisible enemy: Internal Condensation. When your warm camera is submerged in cooler water, the humidity trapped inside your housing hits the "dew point," resulting in a foggy lens that can ruin your shoot.
At Outex, we’ve engineered our flexible housing system to solve this through Air Volume Reduction. Unlike rigid plastic housings that trap large pockets of humid air, the Outex system allows you to "burp" or squeeze out excess air before sealing. Less air means less moisture, and less moisture means a clearer shot.
The Outex Strategy for Professional Clarity:
The Dehumidification Step: Always assemble your gear in a dry, air-conditioned environment to trap "thin" air.
Active Moisture Absorption: Utilize Outex Desiccant Silica Packs to wick away any residual humidity.
Thermal Management: Our lightweight, professional-grade materials dissipate heat faster than bulky hard cases, preventing the temperature spikes that trigger fogging.
By combining the Outex flexible seal with proper thermal discipline, you ensure that your optics stay crystal clear from the surface down to 10 meters.

Guide To Reducing Fogging And Moisture Inside Underwater Camera Cases And Housings
Excerpt: Why the Outex Pro Kit Outperforms Traditional Hard Cases
The secret to professional underwater results isn’t just about keeping water out—it’s about managing the environment inside your housing. Unlike traditional hard-shell cases that trap large volumes of humid air and create a "fog factory," the Outex Pro Kit System uses a patented flexible design. By allowing photographers to "burp" the housing and minimize internal air volume, Outex significantly reduces the risk of condensation.
To achieve absolute clarity in extreme conditions, our system integrates Indicating Silica Gel Desiccants. These reusable packs use advanced adsorption technology to pull micro-moisture from the air before it reaches your lens. When combined with the thermal-dissipation properties of our professional-grade silicone, the result is a lightweight, tactile, and fog-free shooting experience that bulky plastic housings simply cannot match.

How do I install the Outex phone kit and dome lens?
Outex Phone kit installation is very similar to all Outex camera products. The Cover creates a waterproof seal in conjunction with the lens port. Test the installation without any gear inside first. This process will teach you good habits and critical basics of the Outex seal process, just like our camera products. The wrist strap goes thru the cover loop. Use the hard buttons to operate your camera. Most phones are pre-programed that way already, but you can also re-configure the hard buttons. The cover reduces the touchscreen sensitivity but allows you to operate basic functions. Water pressure will disable touchscreen control, but you can use it at the surface.

Does the Outex Phone Kit Float?
The Outex Phone Kit is designed to make your smartphone float. There's enough trapped air inside the waterproof housing when sealed to help make your phone float. But because different phones come in different shapes, weights, and sizes, we've also designed an adjustable looped strap you can use to prevent dropping or losing your phone while in use. Because of the differences between phones, we cannot guarantee that your phone will float on its own. But it will certainly slow down the sinking process, giving you additional time - if you're not using the strap to retrieve it as needed.
