Test dipping ONE X2 into water (no case)
Hi,
So water proof (without case) was the reason I have waited until ONE X2 to purchase. So I have decided to try it yesterday after doing extensive research on Internet. I have examined and made sure all ports are closed/sealed properly. I dipped the camera into a pond just for few seconds. These are what I found:
- When the camera got into water, there are bubles coming out of camera (could be normal) but it's scary. This is why I didn't dip it a little longer.
- After took it out, I use cloth to dry it, the examine the camera, espcially the ports
- Battery compartment was good, dry.
- USB-C compartment, there's moisture inside even though it's sealed properly and short dip.
- Camera is still working fine.
With this experiment, my confidence to use it in water for longer period of time has reduced significantly. Waterproof is the main feature I waited that long to get it. I hope Insta team put together a solution for customers regarding this (no case, up to 10m) as I think I might not be the only one.
