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.

Why are domes better than flat ports? The Advantages of dome over flat ports in underwater imaging.
Why use Dome ports for Underwater Photography?
Domes make it better - Domes help correct aberrations that occur when light travels thru water as opposed to air. Domes can deliver better results compared to flat ports, and also make it easier or possible some results that flat ports would not capture.
Size matters - Bigger domes are better than smaller domes, for a number of reasons. The tradeoffs are; heavier, bulkier, pricier than smaller domes.
Glass is optically superior - Glass domes are optically superior to plastic or acrylic, and they do not scratch as easily. All of the Outex ports, including its domes, are American-made glass ports.
Universal fit protects your investment - Both Outex glass domes are designed to fit any/all lenses thru adaptors and brackets. This design protects your investment and optimizes your usability and upgradeability over time. Our Waterproof Camera Housing Dome Kit supports both threaded, unthreaded, hooded, curved, and fisheye lenses.
Domes are ideal for split-level and underwater use - While dome ports will not take anything away from your work above water, their impact or difference above the surface is irrelevant. Domes are ideal for split-level and underwater work. For additional information, explore our underwater camera housings and photography FAQ's to learn more about domes and this subject.
