Can i vacuum seal a flip video camera to waterproof it? ?

Avery

It's the first generation I believe since there isn't HD video. No optical zoom. Am I being stupid for even considering this? Would the bag destroy the camera? I would use it for going down waterslides and light underwater filming. no more than 4 feet tops. Would the bag mess up the lens? Could I use an xacto knife and cut a hole for the lens? Its all plastic. Thanks:)

The bag cant harm the camera in any way. It sounds risky, but it could work. Just put some paper towels or toilet paper in the bag, vacuum seal it, then submerge the bag in water. When you pull it back out and open it, check to see if the material inside is wet. If not, then go for it! But if you do mess up your camera, Im not the blame. Lol.

How do I make my camera water resistant using a plastic bag?

I want to take pictures during a light rain. I have a Sony NEX-5R. I have searched the internet, but I can only find pre-made bags for sale or instructions on waterproof boxes.
I just want to make sure what materials to use and the most important parts of the camera to keep covered/uncovered.

Answer
I use a product called Rain Sleeve when shooting in the rain of where mud can get on my camera

They cost about $6 and come in a pack of two
