Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
After reading numerous reviews about this product and the FujiFilm Quick Snap single use camera, I decided to take a chance and go with the Liquid Image 3.1MP Explorer Series Camera Mask. I figured why spend $10 for a single use camera and $10 for film developing when you might not get any good pictures. I also purchased a SanDisk Micro Secure Digital 2 GB Memory Card (don't purchase an 8 GB card because this camera mask does not support it). This was definately one of the best purchases I have ever made. I uploaded some of the pictures that I took on our trip to Maui in June of 2011. The clarity of the pictures was great, even some pictures I took at a greater depth on an overcast evening came out good. The movie mode was outstanding and took some excellent video. Some suggestions I do have while using this product are: (1) Since the camera lens is basically on your forehead, practice using the camera to get an idea of how to position your head when taking pictures. (2) When filming in the movie mode, swim slowly and move your head slowly or people watching your videos will get "seasick". (3) To assist with seeing the Red (picture Mode) or Blue (video mode)light, I would press the mask against my face, slide it down a little ways, and look up to the upper right corner of the mask with my right eye. There is an audible tone (that can be heard underwater) when the camera is turned on, a picture is taken, filming is started or stopped and the camera is turned off. As for battery life, 2 AAA batteries lasted for over 100 pictures and about 10 minutes of video. I changed batteries when going from dive site to dive site to make sure they didn't expire when I was underwater. On the left side of the mask is a small waterproof storage area for spare batteries. Downloading pictures and video was simple on both our laptop and PC. I would definately recommend this product to anyone.
