My new underwater housing was used for this shot.
Lush, low and lumiere.

Lumiere Rules:
60 seconds max., Fixed camera, No audio, No zoom, No edit, No effects. http://videoblogging.info/lumiere

Found one…. but I’m not telling what it is yet.

Been very busy with life.
One take, no editing.

Well, my new job will require us to have a second vehicle. The hunt begins.

The new solar cover is working… GREAT!

Well overdue, but finally.

With my newly completed HV20 underwater housing, it’s time to enjoy the water.

So I thought I’d like to build an underwater housing for my Canon HV20 Camcorder. The video shows the parts I’ve used plus the testing process. But, I don’t think I mention it anywhere, but it is 4″ PVC piping.
There is the black ABS (instead of white PVC) pipe which is a little bigger, yet all the same parts exist as the PVC.

I took the camcorder into the Home Depot to check for fit. Once I told the sales people what I was doing… add a short period of time for them to compute the idea of this guy putting his camcorder in the pool, and they were quite willing to use their Plumbing Powers to serve the vlogging community and aid me in getting the right parts for the job.

Let me figure it out…
$10 - 10′ 4″ PVC Pipe (9′ remaining)
$ 3  - 4″ PVC End Cap
$ 5  - 4″ PVC Threaded End (2 pieces)
$ 5  - Strong Aquarium Sealant
$ 1  - Glass from picture frame

Finally…Canada Day. I've been sitting with the flag since last fall.
If you recall I won the flag on eBay. It cost me $1.00 with free pickup.
Finally the day is here.

Happy Canada Day Everyone.
