could this handle a few hours under water at 10 to 15 feet?

No, it is basically rain proof, not submersible. I doubt it would last more than a few seconds.

not a chance - it would survive a rainstorm but the wire lead in is not waterproof - you would ruin it unless you did a LOT of sealing with RTV, even then it might not. Lots of pressure at 15 feet

For me has lasted all night, I haven't let it run more that 8 hours, but it's lasted at least until then. The water was about 1/4 full after that time, so I'm assuming it can run close to 10 hours.

After looking up the IP rating system for this item, I would not recommend submerging it. It is only rated to a 5 and for submersion it would need to be an 8.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Its strong and light...i use my 15 footer for saltwater exclusively...but I don't see any reason why the shorter versions cannot be used for freshwater...go ahead and give it a try!

Please elaborate. What are your test parameters? Are you planning to test under water?

I used it all summer outside while we were enjoying the pool. That would be quite a few hours.

I doubt it would be much good in water shallower than about four inches. It probably would work,but the spray back from the debris bag would get messy unless it was submerged.

I don't think it would last one dip in the ocean or pool. if you can find a way to waterproof it, shrink wrap it in plastic, maybe something like that maybe would work. It would be the equivalent of any small electronic device being submerged in water.

It would be ideal for outdoor use. Approximately every eight hours of use requires a gallon replenishment of water into the water holding compartment.

you can have it underwater for 30 minutes.... but i haven't do it for quite long time

Well. I used it on an all day float trip to provide the audio source in a cooler stereo. It made it 10 hours straight and still had power to spare. I've never run it all the way out.

As long as you make sure it's closed properly you can leave it under water for hours. I had mine under water for approximately 5 hours 3 days in a row while I was in Vegas.

I wouldn't recommend that. I went less than ten feet in water and it ruined the camera. Fortunately I was just within warranty and it was repaired for a small fee but I haven't tried it in water since.

The camera and cable are capable of operating to 10', however the display part is not. So if it is desirable to look at something underwater the camera could be used but an extension to the camera would have to be purchased and the display operated where it is dry.

You might try it on an exceptionally calm day, but it won't be optimal. It's not rigid enough to handle waves well. I've used it in the Gukf of Mexico and it's fun but slower going than on flat water.

sorry - I really wouldn't trust it any where near water! the battery compartment is not that secure. hope this helps!!

Yes. I've put it on a pole and held it underwater and I've taken it swimming. It hasn't leaked yet and I've taken it down to about 15 feet.
