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.

  Outex Ambassadors and Collaborations Thank you for your interest in joining our outdoor photography community.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

The Outex underwater housing system that makes camera gear waterproof also allows it to float—even with your heavy camera and lens inside. This works by utilizing the trapped air inside the Outex camera housing as a float, which allows you to control buoyancy by how much air you allow inside the cover. Simply squeeze out the air before you seal it to reduce flotation. 

Tips and tricks to reduce fogging in your camera gear when using waterproof housing gear from Outex underwater housing team of professionals.

Outex is rated for 10 meters, or about 33 feet for underwater use. Outex is IP68 rated. That depth rating has less to do with the housing than with the gear's operability at depth. In other words, if you've gone too deep (beyond 10 meters, 33 feet), and are having a hard time controlling or changing settings on the camera, return to a shallower depth so you can resume using the gear normally once the water pressure around the housing is not exerting pressure on the camera's controls.
