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

Back in and around 1990, Donna and I went to a local hobby show. There was many neat and exciting things we saw that day but something caught my eye. I pulled Donna close and said “I want one, some day I’ll be able to build my own.” Well 10 years later I have started to build my own N Scale coffee table. Built year 2000-2003.

I’m noobin’ it up with the new Canon HV20. Donna is assembling a lawn chair.
The video is in 480X270 resolution, a tad bigger to the regular 320X240 that most of my vlogs are. Please feel free to let me know what you think about the bigger video and if you’re concerned about the larger file size.
Attached to the HV20 is a Raynox Fisheye 0.3X lens. It’s not good when zooming, but I really like the big picture view otherwise.
