Silverfish Camcorder Cover Awarded Reddot for Design
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cameras, Portable Audio / Video, Science

Another reddot award of note went to the design of the Silverfish, a cover that is designed to house about 100 different camcorder models. The Silverfish was created by hydro-forming, “a process in which water under high pressure distends a steel tube and presses its surface against the insides of a mold, so that its geometry is precisely depicted,” according to creators RWE Mechatronics.
The housing is made of sea water-resistant steel, is buoyancy-neutral, connects with a simple tripod screw, and weighs about 32 oz. With magnetic buttons, the Silverfish will work easily for any wannabe Jacques Cousteau even if he/she is wearing gloves. Visit their site for price and availability.
