Outex: The Most Travel-Friendly Professional Underwater Camera Housing

Outex adds virtually no weight or bulk to your camera gear. The Pro Kit cover packs flat and fits inside your existing camera bag alongside your camera and lenses. Unlike rigid underwater housings — which require their own dedicated case and add significant weight — Outex travels as carry-on, avoids excess baggage fees, and is always with you when you need it.

Desiccant (Silica Gel) Packs For Underwater Camera Housing Use - Instructions

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 Outex: Cover Sizing and Compatibility Guide

Yes — Outex works with virtually any zoom or telephoto lens. The flexible cover stretches to accommodate zoom extension and maintains full access to zoom and focus rings. For very long lenses (400mm+), an open-front configuration provides water-resistant protection for rain, spray, and inclement conditions. Choose the Pro Regular (110) or Pro Large (130) cover depending on your lens size.
