Otter Box for Cheap DV Housing

Hi Ken,

So let me get this straight.

You put the Sunpak Remote Lite II in the Otterbox
You dive to 50 feet
You hold your camera in one hand
You hold the Sunpak Otterbox over your subject, with the other hand
When you shoot the camera, the flash activates the remote flash Sunpak Unit?

Or, do you have the otterbox attached to a camera mounting somehow?

Or, do you have your dive buddy hold the flash Sunpak Unit and you shoot the
picture.

Please tell me more of what you had in mind.

Also, I do have a video housing for my digital camera. Any thoughts on how
to make a strobe work inside of an otterbox? The on-off would have to be
controlled someway to save battery power.

Thank you.

Marshall

I would have thought that the 100ft a static depth rating - in the same
way dive watches are recommended to be rated to 200m for diving to 50m.
