Would you recommend this product if I go in the ocean? How long will it last if so?

I would not. The color does not fade evenly and you could end up blotchy . Given that sunscreen will break down the color to begin with.

No - it is not designed for underwater use. I've had mine for 5 years and it works fine. I carry it in a plastic container designed to protect a pack of cigarettes at the beach. I carried it all over Italy with no damage, but not in the water.

We've used it in our saltwater pool and it seems fine so far. We have not used it in/near the ocean, though.

I bought 3 months ago and have yet to use it as its still in the box. Just waiting for February to use and I will know for sure as I bought this to use in the nearby ocean. I live in bc.

I don't know scientifically the answer to any of these questions. I have only had mine for a couple months. Presumably as long as the seal integrity maintains and the O2 permeability of the bag is non-existent, it should last a long time.

it was new and i made a waterproof case for it because i heard that it wasn't waterproof in the ocean and so i didn't want to take any chances. It was an ok camera, low definition but i lost it in the ocean while surfing so it didn't turn out well. I ended up just getting a go pro. there are many other cameras out there, wait a little longer and buy the best product and make sure you don't drop it in the ocean. haha.

I have owned it for 3 month and only used it for a week on the beach and pools. I am confident that it can perform without problems for years to come under proper use and care.

it all depends on the sea water temperature. i have been using it in Rio de Janeiro from spring to autumn. in the summer it gets too hot.

I think it wil last quite a long time, just take it out in the sun once a month. I have had mine for a year and they work perfectly.

I haven't used mine in the Ocean, only on a river with a strong current. It's a very stable boat and unlikely to turtle, but the tracking isn't the best so if there's a current it'll be a challenge to manoeuvre it. The rubber is very sturdy and should withstand the salt water. But I'm not sure how it would handle in stronger currents.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

Most likely. Refer to the specs and see what the maximum weight it can handle is. You can also use both at the same time for added security. Then test it in a sink, or bathtub before hitting the ocean. Hope that helps! Have fun!

Ive been using it in salt water since I bought it and had no problems at all. I think the product itself doesnt specify wether its waterproof or not. What I do is that everytime I finish using it, I extend it to 39" and dry it with a towel (youll have to do that about 3 times before put it away in your backpack). I also recommend to pour some fresh water on it after shooting in saltwater On the other hand, remember that the Wifi remote is completely waterproof, so dont be afraid to take some shots underwater.

I've taken this thing with me to the beach and no problems whatsoever. Obviously its not meant for more than 9 feet but, i've taken it out snorkeling and it does the job. Another plus is that the case doesn't really affect the call quality or speakers.

I have had mine for 3 weeks and it has been in the ocean at least a dzoen times for more than an hour each time--both surfing and snorkling. I put my old camera in it and it fit perfect and pictures are awesome. NO leaking so far. BEST 12 dolllars I spent. I do not see many good reviews for waterproof cameras...they seem to brake alot and out of water do not take good pics or vids. Mine works awesome in and out all the time. What a genious invention!!!

No I was surprisingly impressed with it. Everything is working great so far, I've taken it scuba diving, kayaking, paddle boarding. I just make sure to rinse it in fresh water after I use it in the ocean, and try to dry off the extendable area.

Hi! I did such hard research about this product right before I bought it, and I remember reading somthing about it lasting about a year or 2....I hope this helps!
