Dylan and I completed a rush V1.5 as described in the previous log. 

The new version sports a flashy transparent housing, but is essentially still the same concept with upgraded parts. 

The internal mounting has also been changed so that the on/off switch and recharge port is accessible by only removing the lens.

The next phase of the project is just to hammer it: Test it as much as possible, tweak settings, refine user interaction and push the housing to see what it's actual limits in the water are.  We will construct a second camera to test this phase. One of my continuing questions is whether we need to do video or time-lapse: The short answer is "it depends"

As an intro in this phase I dropped the pipecam into a local kelp forest for a bit to test the new video modes (Take ~15min videos very 15mins).

A short clip from the results of this test:

Next test is hopefully a week deployment in a marina?
