Review on πŸ“Έ Versatile Light Blue Olympus Tough Sports Holder CSCH-123 for TG-1,2,3,4,5 & 6 Cameras by Keith Harris

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works well but the TG-5 has a major design flaw

The mount works great and I had no problem quickly storing and retrieving my TG-5 camera for photography. Unfortunately, after a few rides with it, I found that the batteries drained faster than I'm used to. I've also noticed that the GPS tracker is often turned on, although I usually shoot with it off. It turns out that this holster has a serious problem with the TG-5: when the device is in the holster, there is a very high probability that a safe movement will put the OFF/LOG switch in the LOG position, which the GPS turns on. As a result, the battery is constantly drained, which significantly reduces battery life. As it stands I cannot recommend this holster to anyone using an Olympus TG-5. @Olympus: Please update the design of this holster so it doesn't interfere with current or future camera features.

Works well as POV camera with top record button like Canon D30.
