I can dip it on the beach?

Sony says you can take pictures under water. They warn that the battery/memory card door must be closed of course.

I purchased this a week before a trip to the Caribbean. ON examination, I felt the battery door was rather weak so I also purchased a plastic pouch specifically made for putting a non waterproof camera in, so that I could take it underwater without problems. The pouch worked well except that on hot and humid days it became cloudy... so I removed this camera from the pouch to try to get a photo of a sting ray swimming by. The first time I used it in the water, without the pouch it leaked.... I sent it to Sony who sent me a replacement, but I didn't have it to use during the remainder of my vacation. While still under warranty the replacement had another problem almost near the end of the warranty period. The internal battery can only be charged with the door open and while in the camera. A tiny plastic thing about the size of the head of a pin holds the battery in place when it's being charged. That came off so I sent it again to Sony, but they said this was not a warranty issue and wanted about $90 to repair it. I liked the quality of the photos and video... I also like the panoramic feature for taking that type of shot... But I don't trust the water proof claim as it did not work for me... and the issue of not having another option to charge the battery is problematic. If there were some way to charge the battery, I'd be able NOT to have this repair done, because the battery will remain in the camera with the door closed... I just cannot charge it, because the door must be open. I decided not to pay for the repair, because the way technology advances I'll be able to find another water proof camera (Or maybe just use the plastic pouch) and won't have the issue of trouble charging the battery with some other new camera. I don't think the camera was well designed for the water proof feature... I find it awkward not to be able to charge the battery now. I don't suggest this without additional waterproof protection for use in the water. It takes lovely photos but the design for water is not what it should be.

Sure as long as you don't have any wind. I would sink the pole sinto the sand at least a foot or bring bags or buckets to fill with sand to tie the ropes to.

Yes but make sure that it's not where it'll won't get drowned with salt water

Not likely to work on the beach. It needs a hard ground to plug in the pegs that hold up the net. I am not sure whether you will find the hard ground on the beach, because of texture of the quick sand.

Yes you can, however you need to keep the strip out of the elements. Do not place in an exposed location, cover with a water proof membrane in a dry location.

Actually, yes lol it's nice and soft. Make sure to get the big size though. Those are always good for the beach

I didn't use it at the beach but it moves enough air to be helpful. Just remember it's heavy with all the batteries so you need a stable place to put it.

I haven'tried it at the beach. There is a fin that hold it in place in the car between the seat and the console which would probably not remain steady in the sand, especially with a cup making it unbalanced.

I don't see why not. It's just sand, but carefully cleaned and strained for animal use.

Yes, we have used it on the beach, but I would put it under a shade and leave the pea pod fully ventilated. it can get pretty warm inside.

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high aspossible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would nottake that chance.Joseph

We bought it to use at the beach and then forgot to take it! Sorry I'm not more help....

Yes you can put sand in it. You can put water, marbles, dried beans, etc. in it.

No. There is no where to put sand. The bottom is hollow. It can not take any weather. Top heavy.

There is a floor covering for this. You would not be sitting directly on sand.

If it was something that had oil use sample green or use two caps beach then fill with water.

The instructions say you can, but I wouldn't recommend it! It's probably OK if you are gentle on the surface.
