- Like most of our cases it'll float if you drop it in the drink.
- The seams are high-frequency welded to form a super-strong bond.
- The Aquaclip® (a patented, ultra-secure, rustproof, injection-moulded plastic seal) opens and closes with a simple twist of three levers, and everything stays in one piece even when open.
- Supplied with 5 x 2g desiccant sachets to absorb condensation in humid climates (you can order extra ones).
| What size do I need?
Fits most consumer SLRs with standard lenses, including all bodies which use an APS/DX sensor, and some smaller bodies with full sensor.
Canon 5D & 1D, Nikon D3 & D700 are too big, sorry.

Aquapac Staff Notes
I have a Canon 500D 55-200mm which travels around with me and works really well in this case. I've taken photos in rivers, and in hard rain when I would never have gotten my camera out normally. It's great when we get feedback from Pro users who get some amazing shots because of our case - a real buzz.

Tips from a Pro
To Disperse Water Droplets on the Lens: Most Pros use Rain-X. The guys in Maui use half an onion and rub it on the lens. But my personal favourite is to use waterproof sunscreen - the higher the factor the better. When you dip the lens just lift it clear of the water and blow the droplets off.
Opening/Closing: Never EVER open the case with wet hands. Only ever insert/remove the camera with the case completely upside down, with the opening at the bottom.
Taking shots: Rather than shooting in normal style of looking at what you see through the view finder, start shooting at what you are pointing the camera at you will get the hang of it. Feel free to look at the images on my site under kite-surfing and see the results we get.

Don't take our word for it
"Just what I needed. I bought this waterproof case to be able to take my camera with me on a kayaking trip on vacation. I used it there and was very pleased with how it worked - it was a relief to know that even if I dropped the camera in the ocean, it wouldn't get wet, and it would float. I ended up also using the case whenever it rained - we were still out doing things (hiking, walking on the beach, etc.) and I wanted to be able to take pictures! It worked like a charm. PROS: Lightweight, Seals Easily, Strong Construction. CONS: None. BOTTOM LINE: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."
Camera Girl, USA (bhphotovideo.com customer review)
"The cases arrived nice and early yesterday and we were able to get them down the beach and test them straight out. We have a Canon 20d which is quite large so it is a snug fit, but once in all the controls can be operated very easily. Was impressed to find you can operate all the controls with relative ease. The shots speak for themselves and considering it was a first effort they aren't a bad bunch. Will get it out again next time the sun dares to shine and have another crack with it. Overall very impressed!"
