Using digital camera w/ waterproof housing to record inside washer

[mathewhebailey0]

I have a Pentax Optio A10 digital video/still camera but my idea to do with it is to record the fill,wash & spin cycles inside a washer using a rigid plastic waterproof housing & not those bag type waterproof housings. It also records sound ether without or with video. What I like to do is record first
without laundry then with. I perfer a waterproof housing that withstands the spin & agitate cycles.

I hope it's a very cheap camera !

Very few would survive the bouncing around and I don't think many washing machines appreciate having a heavy hard object in the drum either. You could damage the machine quite badly.

Actually it's a small size camera. A small size camera is what I prefer since it's pocket size instead of an D-SLR or camcorder size digicam.

Maybe you could somehow mount it to the window?? or do you want it to record while actually tumbling around? Kind of a cool idea actually.

I rather find a top load washer to place the camera in to record movement of water & laundry during fill,wash & spin. I wish I could put it inside my Whirlpool Duet washer,but it needs a replacement door lock. I could try one of two nearby laundromats,but need a way to keep the lid switch in while the lid is up.
