Cameras

Standalone cameras also found in complete underwater camera sets

The cameras in this category are the same models offered in complete underwater sets. Here they are available individually for those needing a spare unit or a camera for above water use.

Some models are waterproof on their own and can be used without a housing. Still, many users combine them with housings for extended depth ratings and added protection.

Key aspects to consider when choosing a single camera

Check whether the camera is intended for housing use or functions independently in shallow water.

• Designed for integration with underwater housings
• Some models usable without additional housing

Typical use of standalone cameras in and out of underwater systems

A separate camera can serve as a reliable spare during travel, ensuring uninterrupted shooting. Others choose a standalone camera for surface work such as landscape or wildlife photography.

These units are often found in underwater camera sets and can be combined with camera lenses. This makes them versatile for different photographic needs.

Handling advice and setup flexibility

Single cameras require the same care as when used in complete systems. Proper storage between dives and careful packing during travel help preserve performance.

Photographers sometimes configure a second camera differently from the main one. This makes switching between underwater and above water settings quicker and more practical.
