Shellicam video camera housings were designed and tested by Shelli. An avid Scuba diver since 1999, Shelli actively scuba dives, snorkels, and also enjoys white water rafting. When Shelli left the high paying corporate world to become a primary school teacher, her disposable income was suddenly decreased. Being a tech geek, and having purchased a dozen video cameras in the past six years, buying a custom video housing for each one was not feasible. In 2001, she decided to make her own video camera housing instead of purchasing one. The design was simple. More recent designs have drawn so much attention that she decided to perfect the design and sell it. Her goal was to design a video camera housing that was budget priced, yet had the reliability of the most expensive units.
How did she do it? One of the designers has 18 years in the R&D field and he understands the importance of not looking at what works. Find the weak points and exploit them. Make it fail until it can't fail anymore! Shellicam has been designed by outdoor enthusiasts with universal fit as the original intent. But then we demanded reliability, low cost, and ease of manufacturing. So, experts completed hours of more testing to the extremes. Boiled for an hour, dropped to over 500 feet in the Pacific, stuck under Jeeps, shot with a 12 gauge shotgun, thrashed and trashed, and Shellicam still works! By design, the video camera housings have been depth tested to well beyond 500' without a single failure.
With the help of many friends, and several testers at local dive shops, the Shellicam is now ready for manufacture. Shelli believes in the American worker, and has demanded the units be assembled in the USA
