ABSTRACT:
A waterproof case for a camera, such as a television camera, comprises a case body having a pair of half cases hinged together so as to form a watertight space therein, a camera mounting shoe having a screw to engage the tripod receptacle of the camera, and a back plate having a flexible retaining tongue, a camera seat formed on one of the half cases to hold the camera mount, and a locking member provided on the camera seat so as to engage the flexible retaining tongue to lock the camera mounting shoe in place so that the camera is held securely in the half case provided with the camera seat. In placing the camera in the waterproof case, the camera mounting shoe fastened to the camera by screwing the screw in the tripod receptacle of the camera is inserted into the camera seat provided on one of the half cases, and then the waterproof case is closed. The flexible retaining tongue is deflected elastically by the locking member as the camera mounting shoe is inserted in the camera seat, and then the flexible retaining tongue snaps back to its normal shape to engage the locking member upon the complete insertion of the camera mounting shoe in the camera seat, so that the camera is held securely in place in the waterproof case in a watertight fashion.
