Manual Vacuum System for Underwater Camera Housings
Reliable protection doesn’t have to be complicated. Our Manual Vacuum System for Underwater Camera Housings delivers the same proven sealing assurance and fog-reduction benefits as advanced vacuum systems, using a simple, durable hand pump that is easy to use anywhere your housing takes you. Designed for water photographers and videographers who value dependability and control, this system offers a straightforward solution for safeguarding your camera equipment below the surface.
The manual vacuum system allows users to remove air from inside their underwater camera housing prior to entering the water. By creating a vacuum, the system instantly confirms that all critical sealing points—O-rings, ports, and housing closures—are properly secured. If the housing cannot maintain vacuum pressure, it provides an immediate warning of a potential sealing issue, giving users the opportunity to correct the problem before risking their camera in the water. This simple pre-dive check significantly reduces the likelihood of leaks or floods by user error. By far the most common cause of leaks when using a water housing.
Why use a Vacuum System?
In addition to seal verification, the vacuum system plays a key role in controlling internal moisture. Air trapped inside a housing naturally contains humidity, which can condense and cause fogging as temperatures change in varied environments. By reducing the volume of air inside the housing, the vacuum system also reduces moisture content, helping to prevent fogged ports and lenses. The result is clearer images, consistent performance, and fewer interruptions during critical moments in the water.
The hand pump design offers intuitive operation and precise control. With just a relatively fast pre-shoot prep, users can quickly reach the desired vacuum level without electronics or complexity. The tactile feedback of manual pumping provides reassurance and consistency, making it easy to integrate into any pre-dive workflow. Its mechanical simplicity also makes it an excellent choice for travel, remote locations, and long shoots.
Built to be compact, rugged, and easy to maintain, the Manual Vacuum System integrates seamlessly with compatible underwater camera housings. Whether you are shooting macro on a shallow reef or exploring deeper environments, or even shooting surf at the surface; this system provides dependable protection and improved shooting confidence.
Simple, effective, and trusted, the Manual Vacuum System ensures your underwater housing is sealed, dry, and ready—so you can focus on capturing stunning images beneath the surface.
