I also use the epic housing,it's awesome! only downside is it gets heavy after awhile.

skatergirl, not any heavier than any other housings though...
Definitely the easiest to use that I've come across.

whats the cheapest possible housing besides plastic bag lol, were not planning on dropping it in the water just splash protectant for up close winchin tube filming extc. Ctipping, did u have a gl2 because i think u have to go up a grade to the 150$ more epic for in order for the gl2 to fit

dirtyohioriver22, I would trust Epic with the life of my firstborn son... Just don't use any of the record button plunger extensions and you'll be fine.

datdurrrrtywata, i bought the epic for my camera as well. ( i have sony pd 170). i would recomend buying it. but a few helpful tips that will not have the water adhere to the lens. just put tooth paste on the lense and rub it with two fingers. then wash off the tooth paste and it will work 100 times better. but you have to be really careful with it. mine sprung a water leak in 3 weeks. and there were no cracks in it. also, READ THE WHOLE MANUAL and you will be golden
