The D&E Underwater Camera Case has been specially designed to hold a miniature camera, a 9-volt battery and the antenna.
The antenna runs up through the mast. Its tip must be out of the water to transmit the signal from the camera.
A small modification to the camera antenna is required.
Full instructions enclosed. |

The unit can be attached to a submarine in various ways. Here is an example where the unit is strapped to the hull on a raised stem. It can face for’ard or aft.
Depending on the size of your submarine, you can either strap the unit to the hull, or build it into the conning tower or sail. |

The tapered end of the unit houses a valve, which allows you to vent the case, equalizing the pressure.
Here you can see the 9-volt battery. The blunt end has an optically clear lens, to allow the camera an undistorted view.
Co-ax cable is attached to the camera and fed through the mast to the 1” long antenna. |

The camera (left) transmits the signal to the receiver (right), which is connected to the Virtual Goggles. The signal is transmitted across water some 3-400 feet.
The receiver may also be connected to a TV monitor, a VHS recorder or any camcorder. |

Once connected to the D&E Underwater Camera, you will be ‘piped aboard’ your submarine.
As you command the boat to ‘Up-Periscope’ the antenna will begin transmitting the ‘periscope view’.
You need your sea-legs. Make sure your feet are firmly placed, and assume a nautical stance. If the boat rocks in the water, you will tend to counter the effect subconsciously, and may fall over! |

The Virtual Goggles come with adapters to fit most TV’s camcorder, and video recording devices. A rechargeable battery and mains power adapters are also supplied.
This is SO COOL! No captain should be without this experience. |
