Based on material/drainage/etc. could this be used underwater?

Possibly... It's pretty sturdy, but the foam padding might get messed up and the inside could get filled with water since there are holes. But other than that, I believe it could. Go for it!

This is not an expensive unit and I think you would ruin it very fast doing so. It could be used under water but maybe not very often and drying it would be almost impossible. Hope this helps.

You probably can, however given the price point I feel sure that it is not sealed against water if submerged. I would suspect that drying afterward may be a bit if an issue and if the metal is not rustproofed (which I doubt), then I would think that it's life span would be substantially reduced. If you are going to be using a tripod or monopod in an underwater situation you may be better advised to find one that is sealed for that purpose. It may cost a bit more, but would probably be worth the investment in the long run. Just my 18 cents.

You can use it in water without any problems, but it is not water proof. You'll have to take the pole apart to allow water to drain

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

I'm sure the unit is not submersible so the water would have to be very shallow for this to work, but I don't see why you couldn't.

I would think so, Dana, as long as it were located out of direct sun; I'd worry about the water temperature in that case. Otherwise, it should work fine for your purpose.

Of course not. Its not rated for underwater use either. Place it under an eve in a protected area, you'll be fine.

Depends on location. It is not water proof. If away from walls and set up with some container with rock under it I could see where it might work.

I believe it could. Naturally, you'd need to provide a way for the water to be disposed of. If it was underneath a house that was closed off, it could drain out onto the ground. I'm trying to imagine an enclosed crawl space big enough you'd want a unit this big. With space that big, why wouldn't it be used as living space. As long as you provide an outlet for the water to drain, you could do it. You didn't say it was airtight. If it is airtight, you could get by with something a lot smaller and therefore a lot cheaper. I am really scratching my head over this question. haha

Thanks for your question. Yes, it can take a little moisture on the surface, but shouldn't be submerged. Hope it help you.

I can't think of a reason you couldn't. It is open on the bottom, so you would have to add some sort of liner to keep the soil from draining out with the water.

I would not use this outside unless it in an area that is protected from the weather. I doubt this would be water-tight and might fill with water if rained on.

Not, this is a foam sheet. It would absorb water unless covered with something. It would probably dry out quickly.
1680987
Yes, it could probably be used for that purpose. However, I'm not sure how well it will hold up exposed to the elements.
1316612
Yes it can be used for either above ground or inground pools. As long as it's plumbed correctly it doesn't matter.

No I dont think so. We have never submerged ours.My husband built a little covering for ours.

That would not be a good use of it--it is very sturdy but a heavy rain would get through it---it's nylon, not canvas. Water could get in through the bottom/base as well if the ground is wet.

This thing is not waterproof even to the least bit. Even with seam sealing if it rained you would get completely soaked. This thing is as porous as a sheet of computer paper. Maybe if you seem shielded and sprayed it with a waterproof spraying it would do okay but even then I would want to hang a tarp of some sort over it just to be safe.
