OverBoard OB1001 Reviews

A joke, apparently.

This is NOT “waterproof” in any stretch of the imagination. There is no top closure, So, If this goes overboard, EVERYTHING in is not only getting wet, it is drowning all the way to the bottom because it’s nothing more than a pliable bucket. Maybe mine is missing something, I mean beyond it’s advertised purpose. One star because that is the least amount possible and it will serve as a carrying bag—just not as a waterproof one as advertised.

Does its job well

what can i say it floats the inside is reasonably dry and the yellow color is very easy to spot. I tested it by throwing it on my pool when we had 2 nights of rain and it floated and was plenty dry inside. Since then it has protected camera, wallet and keys on numerous kayak trips kayaks are never completely dry but no problems with it.

question

Do you think it will fit a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 200-500?
Asked by: Jorge C.
I use it with Canon 7d and 24-105 zoom. Body is 6.5 in wide, 5 in tall and 7.5 from back of camera to front of lens. Ample room. Slightly wider or taller body would work and maybe 1.5 in longer lens would work too.

question

Is this bag waterproof enough to go into the waves for a quick dive?
Asked by: Ran I.
This bag has been good for me so far and air tight (folded 3 times). As a test, I stuffed it with my keys, wallet, phone, a shirt, and a pair of shorts, then I threw it overboard of the boat and then jumped in to grab it. I put the strap over my shoulder and swam to shore. Amazingly everything stayed dry!!! I was happy since I was brave enough to put my keys and phone in the bag. I was in a big bay about 200 yards out. It's a good bag. I recommend it.

question

Can I use this bag to limit condensation if I take a camera from the cold outdoors into a warm room?
Asked by: Anonymous
Hi, yes, I do think it would limit condensation. I assume you will bag the camera (both being cold) then bring it to a warmer environment. You would need to let it stay in the bag until it warms close to room temp (which would be hard to tell) so you may have to test how long a very cold camera needs to stay in it before removing. Maybe 20 min? 30 min?Good luck.

Is the bag padded? Thank you

No pad at all, add your own padding if needed. It performs well anyway!
