kaysadeya 0 Posted February 6, 2005 I've been able to scrape together the following cameras: Sanyo VCB-3384 Panasonic WV-BP334 and the following lenses: Tamron 13VA308AS-SQ 3-8mm Computar HG1814FCS 1/2" 18mm Philips/Bosch Model LTC3364/50 1/3" 2.8-10mm Panasonic WV-LA6A 6mm I'm going to play around with camera / lens combinations, but am looking to find good, compact outdoor housings that will support most or all combinations. I'd like to keep the budget around $50 per housing. I'll also consider homemade solutions, if anyone has any thoughts (other than a ziplock bag). The locations will be outdoors, mild NorCal weather, under a deck, and no direct sunlight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaysadeya 0 Posted February 12, 2005 Does anyone know where to find a *small* outdoor housing for a camera/lens combination of no more than 7" long 3" wide and 3" tall? Most of the housings I find on the web do not specify size or are way too large (14" or more). I'm looking for something very compact and low key. Thanks!

kaysadeya 0 Posted February 12, 2005 Mini mag: 13 3/4" L x 5 3/4" H Am I missing something, or is this a big-assed housing? Come on guys, I'm looking for something low-key... I guess the way to go in this situation is with an outdoor bullet, but would much prefer the versatility and quality of a camera body/lens combination. Can we please close the mini mart and "focus" on the topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 12, 2005 BH8W For attractive camera protection http://www.videolarm.com/products/domes/outdhous/index.html 8" length - you cant fit a regular camera in that it is so small. the mini mag is: Fits cameras of : 3†Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 12, 2005 I guess the way to go in this situation is with an outdoor bullet, but would much prefer the versatility and quality of a camera body/lens combination. then you want a GE Kalatel KTC-240CCE or 115C as they are the smallest profesional cameras I have seen, and can accept any size lens. Then you can use either the pelco or Video Larm housing. Batko has some that may be even smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted February 12, 2005 I just emailed them for pricing and dealer info, I can use the stainless steel ones on an ocean front house we are supposed to be getting the job on next few weeks, they have a $70K budget, and they approved that already!! ofcourse just gotta wait on the check now ... Italy though, if I ship that from there to here, its going to cost the client an arm, leg and a couple molars! note the ganz camera in the photo above ..or is it a pano? also I got some new images to post, got to get the camera out the jeep..
