Discovering the best underwater housing system for cameras for professional underwater use. Plastic bags are cheap and unprofessional. Hard camera housings are bulky, heavy, expensive, and camera specific. The Outex waterproof housing system combines the best of both worlds, offering an universal waterproof flexible case that fits any camera make and model, as well any any type of lens, from wide-angle to telezoom. The case's patented seal works with optical glass ports, including domes for professional optical results that are second to none, in a lightweight, compact, travel friendly, and affordable design that grows with one's needs over time, and is compatible with lighting, flash, triggers, strobes, cables, tethering, tripods, mounts, pistol grips, etc. It's the best camera waterproofing solution for all environmental conditions.

"X" denotes no opening for the glass Medium (Pro Kit Regular) This is the most common and fits most cameras (other than full-body). The Pro Kit ships in regular or large sizes (110, and/or 130), depending on your camera or specific choice.   Large (Pro Kit Large) Our largest kit works with full body cameras or cameras using a battery grip.  All Pro covers work with all/any rear and or front glass options.
