Review on Waterproof Case for DSLR Cameras: DiCAPac WP-S10 Pro Series by Andy Jolley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The price is great for video with a small film camera (BMPCC 4K)

After returning a $40 bag here that I didn't trust, I found a YouTube video of someone using it with a similar Blackmagic Pocket camera, so I took a chance, pun intended. flying colors. So I went to a test shoot with my Blackmagic Pocket 4K, micro V mount battery, 50mm Sirui anamorphic lenses, HDMI wireless transmitter and an external SSD in my bag. The hardest part is packing everything in the bag and positioning it so that the screen still works. Touch controls and buttons can be used, but only over water and not that easy. But that's $80, not $4,500 like the pros. We manually set focus at 3ft and had a PA with a criterion to measure focus. The camera's screen is really hard to see and carefully frame the footage underwater, so we used wireless HDMI for the iPad in a cheap $10 waterproof case). This worked great near the surface but no more than 6 inches underwater. But the quality through the front panel (capturing 4K 14-bit RAW) was fantastic and that's what we focused on. I haven't solved the display issue yet, but for $80 it's a winner with no leaks or issues after 1 hour of use.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
