have you used a camera housing before? if so what kind of luck have you had with it? would you build a small frame around it to mount the equipment and use the dry cell section for camera and electronics only, just having the wire penetrations to a minimum?

This is my first time with everything ROV, the camera housing is rated for 200' so Im guessing I will not have a problem with water penetration on 50-60ft. I will make a separate housing for the ESCs though.

Got the motors, ESCs, Props, Dive flashlight, gripper this week, Im only waiting on the camera housing.

The flashlight is rated 1200lm and is only 1 mode, I will have 2 of this wired to a RC switch, they have 3 orings. $7 each. Not bad. The gripper will require some modification to make it waterproof.

Received the first camera housing today, I like it, is a little heavy but works excellent so far, I played with all the knobs and no water came in, I will be sealing them anyway and only leave 3 for wiring to come out, but this thing is strong and very well made. I might need to redesign the motor mount frame too, to fit this housing.
