Did you use your A2 in the water, or even salt water without housing? What's your impressions? Does you have some type of problem, especialy with pins, in terms of coroding or any other kind of issues with camera?

I have Gopro 8 Hero, and I've used it in the sea and in the lake, and I've noticed that salt water is way more agressive, because one of finger mount was very stif when I try to open and close, so I must to disasemble, clean with alcohol, and then put it back. Now working ok, but I thing that there is some issuses left form salt water...

I do use it in salt water almost weekly since I got it last year. A couple of times without dive housing, and since I got one, with (you need it to shoot below 10m, otherwise the water pressure presses the record button). The camera is sealed better than a gopro, or the other osmo actions that have replaceable lens covers.

Thanks mate. How do you maintain after use, just rins with fresh water, or you have some other way of cleaning? Do you have some underwater recordings posted online?

I treat it like my dive watch:  just spray some fresh water over the camera or the housing before taking the camera out.
