Outex is Compatible with all Cameras and Lenses Outex waterproof camera housing system is compatible with virtually all mirrorless, DSRL, and even most film and medium format cameras and lenses. It's a one-size-fits most system, and we offers variants of cover sizes and glass to accommodate ALL.   The covers come in SMALL, REGULAR, and LARGE.   The front Ggass supports all standard filter thread sizes in the market. The rear glass options can be used for all cameras.

Outex underwater housing glass dome ports work modularly with the rest of the Outex waterproof systems - both Entry or Pro Kit covers.  The domes optimize photo and cinematography results underwater, and especially split-level videos or stills.

Outex's Most Travel-Friendly Professional Underwater Housing System Available Outex adds virtually no weight or bulk to your camera gear, making it the most travel friendly professional housing system in the market.  It fits in the bag or case you already own, and makes it a no-brainer to have with you all the time just in case you need it.

Desiccant (silica gel) packs can be used for moisture absorption.  They are useful for wicking moisture away from the air/environment they are in, and can be used inside the Outex waterproof housings to reduce the amount of air moisture inside the housing.  That in turn helps reduce fogging.  Fogging is often the result of the heated moisture in the case's air, and often cause by the camera gear.

Using telephoto and zoom lenses with the Outex system is entirely possible, provided you select a cover size that accommodates the lens's physical extension. Because the Outex housing is flexible, you can maintain full tactile control over the zoom and focus rings through the silicone material. However, it is critical to ensure that the lens does not "push" against the front glass as it extends, which could compromise the waterproof seal. To prevent this, users should choose a Pro-sized cover that allows for internal movement or use lenses with internal focusing and zooming mechanisms. For lenses that extend significantly, adding an extension ring or opting for a larger cover ensures the system remains airtight and functional throughout the entire focal range.
