Olympus Waterproof Camera Saltwater

I use this to hold my waterproof Olympus Tough TG-2 while kayaking. Everybody who sees it marvels at the uncomplicated and easy to use design, which allows solid hands-free filming but also drops the camera face down at pull of a tab to turn video on/off, check images, or frame a still, zoom, etc. I tell them it is just as great as it looks. Feels totally comfortable and secure, fits smoothly overtop of my life jacket with good range of adjustment, gives me needed access with no fuss detaching from screw mount to hand camera to others. My one suggestion for improvement: make screw mount bolt from stainless, rustproof materials. Very hard to clean out all water after a day of action, and grease or oil don't mix with my camera or other apparel. Overall I would say this rig beats GoPro hands down, and others who see me using it agree. (I did try GoPro system first, sent it back). This one is a keeper!

I wanted a simple, nice-looking, responsive, waterproof bag for carrying just a camera with a lens attached. There needed to be room for a spare SD card, battery and lens cloth. In my case the camera and lens in question is an Olympus OM-5 (they are all the same size) and Olympus 12-40mm f2.8. This fits perfectly with room for pretty much nothing else - and that's what I had in mind. I'm not sure Think Tank is still making these but they are good.

I bought a Filson waterproof bag so I could take my Olympus camera with me in the canoe. I needed to add padding to the bag to protect the gear; and give it a fitted resting place. The foam insert for a Pelican 1400 waterproof box fit perfectly and did the job.

I recently had a kayak race in mid-Missouri and wanted to take my waterproof Olympus camera, I charged the battery overnight and tried it the next day. Only to find that the battery wouldn't hold a charge! This model (850SW) has been replaced by newer models so the battery isn't one that you can go to a big box store and pick one up (although those stores did carry take model at one time). B&H to the rescue!! ... Thanks - Kirk Freels

personal use and saltwater fishing I was looking for a deal on this camera and bought the refurbished model, looks new other than the big refurbished marked in the box and the CANON factory seal. I am shooting 35mbs mpeg 4 and getting great slo mo along with Twixtor Pro in After Effects. Because of the good glass this camera is heavier than it looks. it is not heavy but when you look at the size and pick it up you realize this is a notch up from consumer range.

Fits my gopro camera and waterproof housing.

Good Camera with tough body and got waterproof

Works great with her Coolpix S30 waterproof camera.

I take this tripod head in the field every week, use it in a saltwater environment, and transport it in an outboard motorboat. It is an absolutely excellent piece of equipment that has never failed and has stood up amazingly well to unavoidably rough use. I routinely carry the scope over my shoulder, still attached to the tripod, and this head has never loosened. Some other tripod heads/tripods will loosen because they lack screws that hold the head in place while allowing it to rotate 360 degrees, but this does not. The interface with the tripod head with the place and with the tripod is rock solid.

Keeps my GoPro safe from saltwater But waterdrops on the lens is still a problem
