I am going to try this in my friend's pool taking pics of my kids swimming underwater. Will it work a few feet under like this?

Yes for me. You'll see photos in similar situation in DicaPac website. The clear water, like a pool is excellent to get good photos. Only avoid edge case don't interfere with camera focus.

I was using it with my Pansonic Lumix down to 20 feet when snorkeling last year.

Hi Tom, unfortunately I haven't tried to use mine underwater since I take videos of my hiking adventures. But, I highly doubt it would work underwater since it is made for out of water use. The underwater replacement lenses are flat, not curved. If you hunt Amazon, you can find the lenses made for underwater shooting.

I haven't tried it, but I believe it would work in water of depths around one to two feet. Sounds like a fun time. Let know who it works

Yes, it is an underwater camera and you can take it under water. We have used it under water during snorkeling, probably 30 minutes at a time. Works preety good.

This camera is a piece of crap. I don't think it's designed to go under water for diving.

Hello, I swim laps with this often in the pool with head phones. It works perfect. I also swim for fun and listen to my music under water without head phones using it as underwater speaker, Works great too. I have also used in snorkeling in ocean as a underwater camera, and in my pool as an underwater camera. That was safe, I still get some blur in underwater photo's, but above water photos are great! I would be happy to answer any more questions.

I seriously doubt that you can use this as an underwater camera. Not for this price. It works best under an eave with light rain hitting against it. Anything more than that I would say no. I haven't tried it but I wouldn't advise it

It depends on the camera. They are all different and you need to look closely at the depth as it can affect the quality of the pictures. For this particular model, it was 50 feet. There are some that go to 35 ft or less. Also the clarity of the water and the lighting also affects things. I would tell you that I used this camera with snorkeling and it did a decent job at 20 feet. My pictures turned out and I love them.

I used it under water but the water wasn't very clear so I wouldn't blame the camera. The playback was high def but the sounds under water are fairly garbled as you may expect so you need to mute the playback or add music. For the price in the cam market it is great.

Hi, the pole can be used under water as it is not sealed - so there is no depth limit. The remote is not sealed off by the remote pole, so this will make no difference to the depth GoPro suggests. Also, Wi-Fi does not work underwater so using your remote underwater does not make much sense. In any case make sure to rinse the pole with fresh water after use in saltwater.

it might. but I found that this product is not good for underwater photo-work. images are of very poor quality.

I would not chance it with that camera. I am using the lanyard with a waterproof submersible camera by Nikon. It is bound to go beneath the surface of the water but simply not sink to the bottom with the camera of which it is intended for which is the waterproof camera. I would not chance it with your camera unless you looking to lose it. It will get ruined in the water if not waterproof if doesn't sink to the bottom of the ocean or lake first. If your camera is waterproof than I would get TWO of the lanyards and connect them to the camera, but first I would check it in a pool or a bathtub to make sure it does not sink to the bottom before you take it out in real life.

Absolutely!!! I have this exact model of camera and float. The float wii actually bring the camera to the surface when under water!

For basic underwater it should work, unless depth is too high and probably below 25 feet is not indicated.

I did some snorkeling while on vacation and the camera takes excellent photos and videos underwater, you will not be disappointed. As for the GPS, it did work while snorkeling, which was approximately 6ft underwater not sure if it will work going deeper underwater...hope this helps

Yes, I bought this one for a gopro4, I haven't try this under water but it looks like it would work. Hope this helps.

can't say for sure have not used it that far out yet. camera for me works ok so far but I can not say for sure if the integrity of the cable under water is good. I hope it is just a defective cable you have. that's all I can tell you right now.
