Hello,
I went to Radio Shack and bought a Green Laser Pointer 63-132 for about $54. I mounted it on my Canon XH A1 with a part from Home Depo. I used a A-585 Nylon hose barb splicer 3/4" x 3/4". This works great as it hold the pointer still, and when I want to turn it on all I do is push it a little deeper into the holder and it stays on. I went out today in S.W. Florida sun, and was able to see the green dot fairly well. I am sure it is not as bright as a $500 laser, but I am happy with it. I will try and put the picture of it on here.
I also went to Wall Mart and got a marine box for about $10 and put a clear port on the box. This works not so well, as I can not see to shoot anything. The box is great for storage of my camera, as it has a rubber seal around the top.
Also I picked up a kids back pack again at Wall Mart , for $6. This hold all my filters, and cleaning stuff and all the other crap we end up taking with us. It is padded and might be kind of rain proof..
After a very expensive repair I now keep my camera in a Seal Line See Bag 10L. I got this at Outdoor World for about $15. I keeps my camera dry, and I put two Hydrosorbent 40's in the bottom of the bag.
Just thought you all might use some of this stuff, to keep our cameras working better and not spending more money.
