Dear Steve – Whats the point of the black fuzzy cloth-like material all around the inside of my housing. Is that just to keep light from bouncing?
Julie Dear Julie – Allow me to tell you a SEACAM “hero” story. I was on a commercial shoot in the Turks and Caicos with my SEACAM Canon EOS1DMKII housing. There was a lot of time and money invested in me to get underwater product shots of dive gear. On a remote shipwreck, more than an hour from shore, I heard the unsettling sound of a “beep/beep/beep”. Everyone checked their computers and miscellaneous gear to find out the source … it didn’t even occur to me it could be coming from my housing. But sure enough, I soon determined it was my housing’s moisture alarm! I swam back to the boat with the housing in an upright position to keep whatever water trapped on the bottom and away from the camera. Once I opened the back I saw there was water, about the equivalent of a mouthful. But that black flocked material you speak of absorbed the water and wicked it towards the moisture alarm (both audible and visual alarm by the way). Of course I then found a black hair lying across the green O-r
