Heat

[SalaTar]

What would the heat issues be if a Red was stuffed into a titainum can and sent to 12k feet below sea level?

I guess you'll just have to wait and try it out for yourself once the camera ships.

Mardi_Gras,
Hmmm La. residant?

Deep sea is cold I just was wondering if the heat dissipation would be within camera specs

[SalaTar]

I fairly sure that this has come up in conversations with others (JC)

But in a corporate volume has it been introduced?

Well... at 12K feet down the water temperature is just above freezing (4 degrees C). It seems like that would pretty much make the ambient temperature inside a case pretty cold... especially if the case is metallic.

[SalaTar]

yup but Im asking Red.
Jannard,Greame?

I thik the heat would be manageable in that situation... Probably better than most conventional underwater applications where the water is a lot warmer and the camera is still stuffed into an aluminum can. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to test on the surface - place camera in the can, place can in the fridge in a tub of water or test the camera out in the can submerged in a bucket of ice water and see if it overheats.

More than heat, I would be concerned with condensation inside of the can as temperatures drop closer to freezing. But I'm going to assume you've sent cameras this deep before and already know what you're doing... I haven't -- sounds like fun. At depths of 12K feet though, that's really getting down there...

bingo

Im sending a few Pannys to this depth(AK-HC1500G)
