Improved Housing (leak proof) The camera housing consisted of a section of 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe (a), 5 inches long. One 1 1/2 inch cleanout adapter (b), and a union joint (c) cut nearly in half, one section must have the inner lip intact (d). The assembly of the housing: A bead of black silicone was squirted on one of the pipe's edges and the lexan window placed on top (f). The union section with the lip was similarly treated with a bead of silicone on the inner side of the lip. Next Place the pipe on a table with the lens side up. clean the upper section and apply PVC adhesive, quckly force the union joint down, until it stops. Within a few seconds the clean out adapter can also be glued. The housing was tested using a spare clean out cap. The housing was weighed down using a brick and trown into a pool overnight. A lens protector was attached to the housing (a plastic cap off an empty snack food container) to protect the lens from abrasion. This is a housing built of 2 1/2 pipe. same principle shorter section of pipe. Picture on left was taken during construction. I inserted the spycam inside to make sure it would fit. Should your camera not fit inside 1 1/2" pipe try larger pipe. http://freepistonjetengine.741.com
