Description:

When using a Canon Waterproof Case, you can be sure that water and debris will never come in contact with your Canon PowerShot camera, no matter what environment you're in. The watertight seal and custom design of Canon's cases makes underwater photography a breeze, but only if you hold on tight! The smart design that keeps these cases afloat can also give divers trouble when shooting under the waves. Specifically, the case can float straight to the surface if released, or it can be difficult to handle if it is especially buoyant. Thankfully, one small accessory can remedy this situation no matter which Canon underwater case you use. The WW-DC1 Waterproof Case Weight is a set of four stainless steel plates that attach quickly and easily to any Canon WP-DC case. Depending on the interior volume of the case, the weight of the camera, and the characteristics of the body of water (particularly salt water versus fresh water), these plates can be added or removed to find the perfect balance and achieve neutral buoyancy (where the case neither floats nor sinks when underwater). This makes handling the case below the surface much easier, and prevents it from floating away if the user accidentally lets go. The WW-DC1 comes with four stainless steel plates weighing 60 grams (2.1 ounces) each, two stainless steel screws (one long, one short) that attach to the case, and six plastic pins of differing sizes to keep the plates secure.

5A Weighty MatterJan 03, 2006
By Tim
With these weights I was able to send my Canon Powershot S70 to the bottom of the Atlantic, and I have great faith that they will keep it there. Reliable, and more professional than a brick.

5Much Needed AccessoryApr 08, 2007
By E. Arentsen "A Busy Dad"
The Canon underwater housings are designed to protect your camera from the elements, whether they are sand, rain, pool, or ocean. For use on the beach, while snorkeling, or taking shots of your kids in a pool there is little or no need to worry about the buoyancy of your camera housing. If you free dive or scuba dive you do not want your camera housing floating out of your hands. These weights are an easy way to adjust the buoyancy of your housing. The kit comes with four weight plates so you can fine tune your housing's buoyancy. I prefer a heavier setup and have added an extra plate compared to what was recommended by Canon. I'm very happy with the setup and they are very easy to use.

4Looser as you diveSep 29, 2007
By V. Porden
The weights worked wonderfully but there were three things I'd like to point out before singing it's praises.
1.) As I was diving with the camera, the weights eventually worked themselves loose and had to be tightened about every 2 dives.
2.) The main screw that holds the weights together and on the camera (and that kept working its way loose) was the part that rusted, despite regularly soaking it in fresh water and drying it after diving.
3.) I met at least 4 other people with a canon underwater housing and only one other had weights for their camera. Everyone else said they didn't really need them. As for the two of us that had the weights, we only used two from that pack of 4 and the weighted case bumped off of stuff because it was dangling below, rather than hovering with me.

3Canon underwater camera housing weightsJun 05, 2008
By John P. Mordes
A couple of small steel plates and a thumbscrew that serve the purpose and are necessary for UW use, but are remarkably expensive. Should be included with the housing.

4good product , but necessary???May 15, 2007
By Michael Fallon
I got these for the case I purchased for my 700 IS and the most useful thing in the box was the manual. It tells you how to find out how many weights your camera model requires (which in my case was none!!!) So while these weights work great if you need them, make sure you do before you buy. Look around for Canon's underwater photography guide which should help clue you in.
