BillM Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) You can still get aftermarket lenses for them (They've been around for a while because of the underwater focusing issue with the previous model) Edited June 4, 2012 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigreddog Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Interesting that your Snake River housing fogs. I assume that it's inside the housing and not in the add-on lens assembly? If that's the case, then maybe you should try stuffing a small bag of desiccant inside the housing along with the camera (although it's probably a very tight fit). If it's happening in the lens assembly, then you should swap out the white desiccant balls for a fresh set, or at least dry out the ones you have. GoPro also has their own Anti-Fog Insert solution. The new GoPro housing will probably have fogging issues as well. Best thing to do is to put the camera in the housing in a cool and dry environment.

Terry Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 the Snake River lens has desiccant beads the problem lies with the 55mm lens.. the threads do let in a bit f water at times when over 60 ft of water and it's just enough to screw things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
