Introduction
The Scubacam range of splash housings are completely watertight, flexible
lightweight camera housings designed for both video and film cameras. They
are designed to operate just above or just below the surface of the water, or
in an environment which is extremely dusty or dirty, while also giving the
camera operator access to all lens and camera functions.
Each model of Scubacam splash housings are made from high quality
polyurethane sheet and clear PVC viewing windows –both robust and hard-
wearing materials. The units are sealed with specialised watertight zips made
to M.o.D. specifications. All metal parts are either stainless steel, or anodised
aluminium.
It is important to remember that these housings are NOT to be considered as
being suitable for prolonged continuous underwater use, and are not an
inexpensive replacement for other brands of more expensive solid aluminium
deep-water housings.
General Information
The materials used in manufacture can be affected by heat, ozone, and
ultraviolet light. This appears as surface cracking on areas under stress. Therefore,
it is important not to expose your Scubacam splash housing to these conditions for
prolonged periods.
Polyurethane and PVC are also adversely affected by solvents and oils,
including sun protective agents used on the skin, and therefore must be
always kept away from these.
Should the housing come into contact with these substances, wash the
affected areas with a diluted detergent solution.
The glues used in the manufacture of this splash housing are heat sensitive. Do
not leave the splash housing in a situation where the temperature will rise
above 75°C.
