Any leads on an underwater housing for the HM100? I'm thinking Ikelite rather than sandwich baggie!

Thanks,
Cotty

Equinox | HD8 Underwater Housing f/ JVC GY-HM100U | HD8HM100

Equinox model HD8HM100, and not a bad price either.

If anyone's interested I got a used Epic Elite and have been testing it. Low res test here (with 18dB gain) :

It works but is cumbersome. Definitely 'in the water' use only - pool, surf, watersports, boating etc. Difficult to use underwater. I rigged up a small monitor on the camera in the housing so I can see the viewfinder image by looking straight down into the housing. Effective. Not bad for 200 bucks.

Cheers
