Olympus Waterproof Cases For Cameras

I have a couple of these 1450s. I use them to store my cameras and associated equipment. These cases are waterproof, according to claims, and I have not had occasion to dispute this. I put desiccators in them, shut them, and feel that my cameras are protected from mildew and rust (I live in a very humid climate). I check the desiccators every so often and they seem to remain active for a number of months .... so the cases must be very water resistant, if not waterproof. The dividers are great and protect items in the case from bumping into each other when I carry them. They don't give you every possible configuration of compartments but I found them to work very well for a camera with a 70-200mm zoom, a couple more lenses, batteries and battery charger, a batch of filters, a case with some memory cards in it, and a few more items. I use these 1450 cases for storage as outlined above but I have another similarly built but larger Pelican case that I use for taking the camera equipment I need to horse shows. The dividers in all these Pelican cases were, in my opinion well thought out. I have been able to organize my equipment so I can get a things quickly. I might note in passing that a horse show offers a fairly hostile environment: lots of airborne dust and sand, often rain and mud, and a number of things that may jostle your equipment. The 1450 case has the same construction as the larger one. They are all good protection. I have never tried to float one of these cases. I think there is a claim somewhere that the 1450 case will. While I find this claim somewhat believable, I cannot verify it and, rest assured, I will never purposely test it :)

I have this product on three Nikon 1 series cameras as well as several waterproof binoculars.

Waterproof and protection for my cameras, lenses and accessories. Could not ask for better protection.

I really like its feature of being able to purchase adaptors for my different Olympus cameras.

Works as advertised with both my Olympus & Panasonic cameras.

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

Interchangeable with all our Olympus tough cameras, even our older models.
