Abstract
Disclosed herein is a camera case which permits underwater video shooting and which is also useful in video shooting on the ground when a hand grip assembly is detached therefrom. In the event of underwater video shooting, a video camera 14 is placed in a main case body 10, and grips 41 and 42 are attached to the case through a link plate 43. The grip 41 has the function of a remote commander, transmitting infrared control signals from an LED to a signal receiver 35 within a transparent window 38 on the camera case 10 to operate the camera 14 accordingly. At the time of using the camera case as a drip-proof case in video shooting on the ground, the link plate 43 is detached from the camera case 10, and the camera 14 in the case is operated by way of operating buttons 24 to 26 on the camera case.
