Jessica Haydahl Reviews Outex's Underwater Housing System  Part of the beauty of the Outex underwater housing system is that it's waterproof camera cases are nearly universal so you can use them for multiple camera and lenses. That means the Outex Professional Kit cases are already compatible with the new mirrorless lineups from both Canon (EOS R) and Nikon (Z6 and Z7) cameras. Photographers maintain complete tactile control over all functionality of the camera and lens, including zooming, buttons, knobs, switches, etc. That means you can shoot on auto or manual in any environment, even underwater. The patented Outex underwater housing system is rated IP80 to 10 meters, or about 33 feet underwater.

Renowned German photographer Marc Weiler talks about Outex. a. Delivers professional results like a $2,500+ housing b. But it’s lightweight, compact, and affordable. So whether you’re a dedicated underwater photographer like me, or a wedding, landscape, sports, adventure, or travel photographer you can expand your capabilities and deliver some really unique, creative perspectives and photos that differentiate your work from anybody else. c. The modular design means I can use the same housing with multiple lenses, and even different cameras.

It's understood that Outex housings protect your camera in water, mud, dirt, sand, etc. But we didn't think you'd do all that in one sitting. Extreme Photography and Outex Pro Ale Socci recently took the 2nd generation clear housing to Jalapao, Brazil, and put it thru its paces.

Professional Photographer John Starrett from Florida reviews Outex Underwater Housing System. Underwater and Marine Conservation professional John Starrett reviews the Outex waterproof case and glass ports, including his dome front lens, rear glass, and covers. John talks about the advantages of the tactile-rich texture of the Outex covers, and the user's ability to shoot on full manual mode. Because Outex maintains your tactile feel you can control all functions of the camera and lens. In his review, John uses the Canon 5Dmk3 and 16-35mm f/2.8 lens.

Tom Gliserman used Outex on his Panasonic Lumix arsenal of cameras for most of the water scenery for this Santa Barbara tourism bureau video, which he says, “Came in very handy! Thanks for the cost-effective way to make those shots possible.”

Taking Underwater Photos with the OUTEX Water Cover If you are interested in taking your DSLR underwater and are not sure what route to go, let me share my experience using the Outex camera cover with you. I have found the Outex to be the most affordable mirrorless underwater housing option for jumping into underwater photography without spending thousands of dollars. The Outex camera cover system is for you if: You are looking to casually get into underwater photography. You want DSLR-quality photos in and under the water. You would like to keep your camera protected from water/dust/sand. You want a system that is lightweight, easy to travel with, and essentially fits in your pocket. You will only be taking underwater photos within 15ft of the surface. You’re taking photos in the water for 30-60 minutes at a time but aren’t spending hours shooting in the water. You are confident in the water and technically confident with your camera and understand the inherent risk of mixing any electronics with salt water. You can afford a mid-range solution for in-water photography but you aren’t shooting enough to invest in a hard case surf housing or underwater housing. What I like about the Outex products: Constructed with high-quality materials Very lightweight and packs small Access to all controls Easy to use with multiple lenses and camera bodies It floats at the surface, even with all the air taken out of it Most reliable of all “cheaper” underwater housings Maximum tactile feedback Malleable Zeiss-quality glass front ports that don’t scratch easily and are super sharp Read her full review here.
