There are cheap thick plastic bags you can use to protect the camera but I don't recommend them. The plastic ruins the quality of the video and they don't offer great protection. The lowest cost decent housing I've found is made by Epic Cam. I just got mine and it works pretty well, protects the camera and doesn't hurt the video quality. Their website is: http://www.epiccam.com/

| Check out e-bay. I found a decent housing for my sony camera for $75. Just type in waterproof housing to see if there are any available right now. |

i like the pvc idea, so you just took a big pvc pipe and put your camera in there then screwed some glass onto the top? like

-Camera- |
| <<<Glass
____________|
Piping^^^
what did you use for the back? how did you mount the camera in there?
