Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I use this with my TG5, and I have about 300 dives with this setup. Love it! It's sturdy and I have not had any leaks. It comes with silicone grease so that you can properly care for the o-ring. If you'd like to see what this case (with the camera sold separately) is capable of, check out my IG: rebeccaunderwater
Carcasa original para la olympus tg5. La he usado en 20 inmersiones y a una profundidad maxima de 30 metros y funciona muy bien. Se pueden utilizar todos los controles de la cámara.
Bin begeistert. War schon auf über 50 Meter damit unten. Alles dicht. Handhabung ist gut. Habe die Kamera (Gehäuse) meistens im Urlaub benutzt. Also ohne Handschuhe. Beim Tauchen im heimischen Gewässern ist sowieso nicht viel zu sehen.
Le boitier a amélioré l'acessibilité des boutons poussoirs et des commandes de l'Olympus TG5 . Il faut avoir un boitier étanche finalement pour que l'Olympus devienne simple et rapide à manipuler ! Je pense en particulier à la commande de déclenchement d'enregistrement des films sur l'olympus qui est très difficilement accessible et qui est une erreur de conception sur cet appareil . Sur le boitier tanche , ce sont de gros boutons en particulier le déclencheur de photos qui est vraiment super facile à manipuler surtout quand on a une mer agitée et qu'il faut saisir l'instant de photographie rapidement . La fermeture et le verrouillage du boitier est trés bien fait et facile à manipuler . Un bon produit à la différence de l'appareil Olympus TG5 qui mériterait des améliorations sur ses commandes et la performance de son capteur qui n'a toujours pas évolué même avec le TG6 apparemment .
Great Housing. As a scuba diver I’ve used several types of camera and housing. Obviously this being specifically by Olympus there are no fit issues.
What I liked The screen has a rubber glare / screen protector There’s a lens cap for the case which looks fittable/removable with gloves The case offers full button use Stills and video transfer via wifi possible (means you don’t have to open the case) Big wide hole to attach your own strap O ring remover included Silica gel sachet (1g x4) included The shutter button has a lever so it’s easy to half press The buttons have white images on them of what they’re for.
Things you need to know It’s negatively buoyant - with two silica sachets in as recommended ( advertised as neutrally buoyant) and the wrist strap not attached. Can’t charge in case or use gps (although camera compass screen still worked on surface) Buttons are plastic- not stainless steel.
Overall a good case - can’t comment on the longevity of it yet. I chose this over the ikelite brand because some of my dive buddies have had (loose fit) issues with other makes of camera and ikelite cases, and other cases are all aftermarket housings.
