waterproof cameras ratings image
Farahhien
I enjoy scuba diving quite a lot, and I've always wanted to be able to capture everything I see on picture or video.
I'm not sure of any places in and around Vancouver that sell underwater cameras though. If anyone could help me that would be great.
Answer
A number of companies make underwater cameras. SeaLife, Sea & Sea, Ikelite and Nikonos.
And these companies make "real" under water cameras, with depth ratings much greater than any of the "waterproof" camera's that Canon, Pentax, and Olympus make.
Another option you have is to buy an underwater housing for your camera, or if you don't already own a camera, buy one and get a housing. Canon makes housings good to 160' for many of there models, and Ikelite, make even better, more expensive housings for Canon, and other brands!
Sorry, I can't help you for Vancouver, but any of the companies I lisred with ship there! As will B&H, the second link!

What quadcopter would lift a gopro camera?
Colton
Well im kinda new to the whole quadcopter, Lama 450's and Symas and all of those brands but im just looking for a nice quadcopter ( from what ive heard they're the most reliable copters) within $50-$200 to lift my gopro hero 3 (if that matters) if you know anything or know a website please let me know thanks!
Oh and im also looking for a nice RC car to mount my gopro on as well so if you have any extra information that would be nice!

Hi Colton, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
Normally this first Question would be better-placed over in "Hobby & Crafts" Category, where most of the R/C types hang out, but I'm familiar with R/C controlled aerial cameras and the GoPro line.
The specified weight of a GoPro Hero3 is 73 grams (2.6 oz.) and most quality Quadcopters can lift that. Quads that aren't in the "beginner/toy" class (and most good R/C vehicles) are NOT cheap. (The R/C hobby can be an expensive one!)
You're not going to find many $50-$200 Quads that can lift much more than their own weight with a small R/C battery. You'll be lucky to get more than 10 minutes flying time with no payload at that price range.
A $500-$900 USD copter will give you 1000 - 2000 grams payload & decent flying time.
Of course, if you have any model-building & electronic soldering skills, you can stretch your dollars by assembling a Quad from a kit. "Hobby Lobby" has decent kits and excellent step-by-step videos (on their website and on YouTube). None of their cheap kits has payload ratings (they really aren't designed for much more than just flying). Drop by one of their stores and ask the R/C counter staff what they recommend for your project.
Here's the link to their "best" under-$200 ($170) R/C Quad that's Ready-To-Fly (non-kit): http://www.hobby-lobby.com/blade_mqx_quad_copter_rtf_1037039_prd1.htm
You'll probably need to save up more money than you planned. Look at Hobby Lobby's current kit selection: http://www.hobby-lobby.com/kits_518_ctg.htm
Here's an example of a good Quad with decent payload rating (2-4 pounds; 1-2 kg) from WoW Hobbies: http://www.wowhobbies.com/turboacex830kit.aspx It's an 80% assembled kit, and costs around $600.
And if you want your GoPro to last more than a flight or two (especially since you seem to be new to quadcopters), you might invest in the GoPro Hero3 Waterproof Housing to add a bit more protection from crash-landings. Be sure to practice flying before mounting your camera!
hope this helps,
