does it work for underwater applications

I believe it is designed for that but I used it on my car convertible. It has held up thru this horrible winter with snow and ice. I am happy how this product performs

Dear Callistus, I've had mine for several months and it's a good, reliable flashlight, however I have never used it under water. The rubber O rings that are an integral part of the construction of this particular light would not keep your unit dry because it was not constructed to endure the kind of pressure you expose it to. Every 3 feet you descend, the pressure doubles so you do the math. Unless a flashlight manufacturer will clearly state and guarantee the unit will operate at X atmospheres deep, I HIGHLY suggest you not use this unit for underwater operation.

I personally have this item (but in color). And it works it works fine for what you need. You can adjust the sensitivity as well, which is always good.Are you looking to mount the transducer to the kayak? From my experience too - mine has been soaked with water/sea spray and I have not had any issues. However, you will need to wipe any saltwater off (if you are doing any ocean kayaking). This product is simple and easy to use.MarineHQ.

I have not used mine in water yet but according to the manual, it can be used for both land and water BUT only the searchcoil and sealed cable is submersible. Do not let the connector or the control housing submerge. Keep them as dry as possible. I would suggest you wash the cable and searchcoil very generously with freshwater and dry if you use in salt water but do not let the water get on the connector or control housing when you wash it off. Hope this helps.

No - it is not designed for underwater use. I've had mine for 5 years and it works fine. I carry it in a plastic container designed to protect a pack of cigarettes at the beach. I carried it all over Italy with no damage, but not in the water.

yes works well, just under the water. Works 10 ft plus if the ear phones are in perfectly.

I am sorry we haven't tried it under water but it does work great for the purpose we bought it for.

My wife has not tried it in the ocean yet. But contact Underwater Audio at help@underwateraudio.com, they are very responsive.

Yes, it will work. I have had it submerged in depths of water greater than 40 feet, for over 36 hours at a time, in varying temperatures, currents, and bumping it around pretty rough. It never lost any of it's clarity, the lights functioned well, and I had no problems at all. Not even one little interference line in the pictures whatsoever. You should be able to use this with no problems for what you are doing. Remember, that this is not a camera that has a focus on it. The focusing is totally controlled by the movement of the camera, and how far you hold it from whatever you are taking a picture of. This means that someone is going to have to act as the camera operator, and manually hold the camera so that it stays in focus, based on what you are seeing real time on the computer. As long as what you see on the monitor is cool, then your recording will turn out just how you saw it in action! Have fun, and good luck! Tom

they sell an underwater epoxy that might work well for that. i haven't tried it however, but i would..

I wouldn't use it on the outside of a submarine, myself, but mine has taken an occasional sprinkle and is still working.

I think it would, it's a tight seal. Their is a rubber seal that is pretty efficient. I wouldn't submerse it underwater for a long time but it will definitely float. Hope that helps

If you have a couple of these in protective housing underwater, they should work. Im not certain that the remote will transmit the signal underwater. Give them a chance, if it works, you won't be disappointed.

I don't know as I've not tried it yet. Do know that the housing fogged up so I'm guessing pictures didn't work. Again, I've not actually viewed the video i took, but from past underwater camera experience, if the housing is fogged there is no way a good pic can come out.

I wish I could give you an anewer but it was broke when I received it in the mail so I was never able to use it. However I swim at least two to three times a week and I know a few people who use it to while swimming. So to answer your question, yes it does work under water.

Not used it underwater . It works efficiently during rain storms, just make sure to set focus and pull it tight up to the lens to prevent distortion

??? Are you planning to do underwater videos? If you mean does it handle rain.....Yes it does. But don't take it in the shower anyways :-)
