The adaptor ring keeps the skeleton housing waterproof, but what about the filters? Can water leak between filter ans

The space between the filter and the lens will fill with water. I will usually fill the space with fresh water on the dive boat by removing and replacing the filter with the camera submerged in the camera rinse bin or by removing the filter once I get in the water. Be very careful if doing this on the surface especially when wearing gloves as the filters can be easily dropped and lost.

water leaks between the housing and the filters but its not a big deal. If your diving just twist the cap slightly so water fills all the way, then twist back on tightly.

yes it does. my camera flooded too! not worth the risk. there are better external filters that don't involve taking the housing apart.

I haven't removed the adapter. I've kept it in place underwater without the lense without any problem at all.

Yes they can be used together with the adapter ring. You have to assemble the hood and filter, using the threaded side of the adapter then attach the hood, filter, adapter assembly using the bayonet side.

I am honestly not sure on the model of the filter I have. But I do know the "cover" comes off and that's where you usually stick the filter. Now- I should note- these particular filters seem to be "thicker" than the regular ones... and I actually had to tape the cover to the base so it would stay on. Other than that, it works great!

dry it off and manhandle it. never had a problem here. only hard part is getting the leaking to stop with new filter. must clean o rings and make sure filter is spotless or it will leak.

Hi H,The filter adaptor in this kit is made out of metal. If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.Sincerely,Customer Service Team

If your referring to the type that have the inflatable top ring , you have to make sure that the kit you buy has the proper bracket to fit the top. I had to rig a vertical pole with a weighted bottom to prevent the filter from lifting out of the water and sucking air. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure. When I screwed the adaptor in, it became lodged and wouldn't unscrew. In order to remove it, I had to use force and it destroyed my lifeproof box. I wouldn't recommend this product and I would send it back for a refund. I know it's more expensive, but I would order all replacement products from lifeproof.

I have only used mine in about three feet of water. The seal seems really tight and it does have o-rings. Deeper than that I'm not sure. In three feet of water it had no leaks.

I'm not sure what a filter adapter is but I bought a UV filter here on Amazon, screwed it on, popped on the new cap and it fits nicely into the case. It is not tight at all.

No problem! However, I have lost 2 adapters already. They easily come off when you're not paying attention. I also change lenses underwater with no problems at all.

The "under gravel filter", how efficient is it to keep water clean within normal environment.? Where can we find replacements every so other month needed? Thanks

O ring. There is a pressure relief valve for flying so i wouldnt call it waterproof but close to it.

yes, I shoot with the adapter on underwater all the time. You can use it in and out of the water without harm. Make sure to rinse the camera off with the adapter off in fresh water after use in slat water so the screws can get fresh water on them. You'll see a white powdery coating on the screw heads if you don't rinse well enough.

It comes with a headphone adapter and it is waterproof. I must admit though that I have bit tested the case underwater WITH the headphone adapter in use.

It helps if you put a Rubbermaid Walmart bin under the filters to catch any water that spills. Hardest part is supporting the weight of a full filter tube when changing out filter. Jobs simple just requires strength and silicone grease for the O-ring. ***DONT FORGET TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE OR FILTER TUBE WONT LOOSEN***
