What our customers say

No idea why I waited so long to order one of these! Have had multiple housings over the years, but changing systems/lenses always meant new ports or whole housings, but no more! Super friendly pre purchase responses to my queries to help steer me to the right solution.

Thank you Outex, I love my housings!

I’ve been using my Outex for 5 years now, this is the second one I own. I’ve used my outex to shoot while paddling class 4 whitewater and often shoot while fully submerged. I trust this product with my nikon z8 every day.

5 stars for outex!
