Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Creative Labs VA0580 Vado and Vado HD Waterproof Pouch (Blue)

Customer Review: If you must...
Summary: 2 Stars

I called Vado in advance; "Is there a view port for the lens? I see only one image of this and it looks like a plastic bag?!" His response was; "We wouldn't sell it if is was not for underwater photography.." Ahem...

It is a plastic bag made by Aquapac. It does come with a trick seal but the body is simply two sides of soft, clear vinyl with a blue border. Unlike the Flip or GoPro housings, the bag is a generic fit. Perhaps the good part is that you will end up with multiple places where the lens can end up..

I cannot imagine this not getting scratch just looking at sand. Be sure to store this plastic bag inside something soft. I will wax mine because it feels somewhat 'gunmmy' (as soft vinyl does..) - I would bet it is prone to drag on other surfaces.

One tip: put a desiccant inside any housing. These things are prone to interior condensation after being in the Sun and then taken into cooler water. The inside can fog up like the outside of a beer glass.

The advantage to the VADO is their wider lens. A 'good' halfway between the GoPro Hero and Flip.

A couple of weeks later... The bag is not common vinyl. I bought a cheapo copy from China that smells pool toys from the 70's. I am still not impressed with the squishy, plastic bag feeling. It is clearly about 50% too large for the cam, which leads one to think it's simply an off-the-shelf AquaPac item..

BUT - add a star or two for clarity of the image thru the bag. Here's a 1:20sec clip of about 2hrs of video I shot yesterday (1 Jul) It is not underwater, but you will know why I needed bag...
