Going back to the drawing board, I bought a waterproof bag. This is something I truly regret. I got to my favorite cove to find the bumps and jumps of the water had caused irreparable damage to my remote. I was extremely annoyed.
Nevertheless, while I was buying a new remote, I stumbled upon something. The CamKix Water Resistant GoPro Case. From what I understand this product has only just been launched, which led me to find one big flaw with it. They didn't release it earlier!
It's small like a tablet but deep like a Harry Potter novel, meaning it fits all the kit you require into a compact space. The foam inside is of a really high quality, so It keeps everything super safe. But CamKix already did cases like that, this is about the water resistant feature of the case.
In short, it works. It's been treated with something so when water touches it, it can just be wiped off like a raincoat. I poured water over it to check if it worked before I took it out, it passed with flying colors. No leakage at all. However, the ultimate test came later on. Fully burdened with my kit; I took it out with me on the kayak. It comes with a convenient little hook so I can keep it strapped to the belt loops in my trousers while I rowed, meaning it didn't get flung overboard or rattle around inside. I had waves crashing over me the entire 40 minute ride, and once I got off the other end and opened it, guess what I was greeted by? Bone dry equipment. No water, no broken kit.
This case works perfectly. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and I love it for that. It's just simple and dependable. A must have if, like me, you have to take your kit where it may get wet.
