For infrequent, casual underwater photography, it is challenging justify the cost, carry and storage size and weight, and maintenance of an underwater housing for your DSLR or mirrorless camera, especially when the phone already in your pocket is said to be "waterproof".

When reading your smartphone's specifications, you may learn that it (such as an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max) is "Splash, Water, and Dust Resistant3 — Rated IP68 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes) under IEC standard 60529"

But, you always follow the footnotes, and 3 teaches you that the:

"iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty." [Apple]

As you know, "water resistant" is not "waterproof". This footnote suggests that getting an underwater housing to protect the expensive phone is a smart move, and a phone in a relatively compact underwater housing is a great option for the infrequent, casual underwater photography goal.

Now, AquaTech teamed with Joby to create a new underwater phone housing to meet this need. From Joby:

JOBY SeaPal

The Premium Waterproof Phone Case that Unleashes Your Creativity Underwater

  • A complete ecosystem for smartphone content creation underwater, encompassing outdoor, adventure travel, surfing and other water sports
  • Compatible with iPhone 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 and Samsung Galaxy S22 / S23
  • Designed by AquaTech: water housings manufacturer for the world’s best ocean creators for over 20 years

JOBY – the reference brand for content creator gear that empowers creators and helps uplift their creativity announces the launch of the JOBY SeaPal: a premium waterproof phone case designed in partnership with AquaTech that takes content creation to new levels, unlocking new creative possibilities to produce stunning footage in and around water.

JOBY has always focused on uplifting the potential of content creators who dream big, supporting their creative journey with a product ecosystem that simplifies content production, making it faster and better while having fun. The launch of the JOBY SeaPal waterproof phone case marks the introduction of an additional creative playground for expert creators, combining JOBY’s deep understanding of the content creators’ needs with AquaTech’s technical know-how of ocean photography for guaranteed reliability.

Fully compatible with iPhone 12/13/14/15 and Samsung Galaxy S22/S23, JOBY SeaPal is the safest ecosystem for smartphone content creation, dedicated to surfers looking to capture epic, wave-riding shots, creators who want to share the beauty of coral reefs or mobile travel vloggers engaged in water activities such as kitesurfing, jet skiing, snowboarding or waterpark adventures. Additionally, JOBY SeaPal is the perfect companion for expert creators on the go who don’t have space to carry bulky, waterproof camera casings or want a quicker alternative to an action camera.

Designed by AquaTech to ensure waterproof, shockproof and dustproof capabilities, JOBY SeaPal allows creators to trust their phones are fully enclosed and protected at all times without fear of damage.

The new JOBY SeaPal collection not only includes the phone case (case depth rated to 10m / 33ft with glass lens port), but also a Bluetooth shutter grip, and a quick release split water dome port with cover, that enables the creation of breathtaking content both above and beneath the water’s surface.

Above water, the clear soft membrane means users can maintain full control of their phones, allowing full navigation of the screen as normal. Below the water surface, the Bluetooth Shutter Grip establishes a connection with the phone to ensure that no action shots are missed.

With JOBY SeaPal, JOBY and AquaTech have created a reliable and versatile ecosystem that empowers mobile content creators to deliver exceptional content whilst enjoying their journey out in the water.

The JOBY SeaPal Collection consists of:

SeaPal Waterproof Case - $239.95 / £219.99
SeaPal 6" Dome - $199.95 / £169.99 [a great option for split under/over water shots]
SeaPal Bluetooth Shutter Grip - $159.95 / £139.99
SeaPal GoMount - $17.95 / £15.99
SeaPal 6" Dome Cover - $19.95 / £16.99
SeaPal Sports Leash - $19.95 / £16.99

The JOBY SeaPal Waterproof Case for Smartphone is in stock at B&H.

What is the best underwater smartphone case? The JOBY SeaPal Waterproof Case for Smartphone is a great option. A low end option is the AquaTech AxisGO, and a high end option is the SeaLife SportDiver Underwater Housing for Smartphones.

This buck had a doe locked down during the rut. We named her "Dosi" doe (as in dosido, the dance move). The name seemed fitting as she was the object of his desire and frequently leaped to a new location with the buck following close behind.

As I said before, the Canon EOS R5 and RF 400mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens combination was the perfect choice for photographing white-tailed deer in the Shenandoah National Park woods.

The 400mm focal length permitted close enough working distances to avoid obstructions, and that focal length combined with the f/2.8 aperture blurred the abundant foreground and background distractions.

In this composition, I took advantage of the obstructions to create a frame for the buck, which was unusually cooperative for a couple of minutes, posing in the sunlight.

Image quality, distortion, flare, and vignetting test results are now available on the Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM Lens page.

Note that 1485mm is the longest focal length I have enough working distance and a small enough chart to test. Thus, the 2x results were captured a bit short of the lens's capability.

I'll share the wide-open aperture comparisons. Consider also comparing the lenses at the shared widest aperture.
