Top Underwater Camera Equipment for 2020 and 2021
In the realm of underwater photography and video, the 2020 DEMA online event showcased a selection of innovative products designed to enhance convenience, quality, and depth capability. One standout product was DIVEVOLK's full touchscreen underwater housing, which allows professional-level camera functions on smartphones such as the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, enabling use up to 60 meters depth with access to all native and third-party photography apps underwater [1].
This product represents a significant advancement by combining full phone touchscreen functionality with deep-water use and wireless connectivity. While the 2020 DEMA coverage itself is sparse in the search results, current products like the DIVEVOLK housing are considered among the best due to their innovation in usability, depth rating, and compatibility.
Other general references from dive gear suppliers and photo-video stores (such as Bluewater Photo & Video) suggest that comprehensive underwater camera systems often include specialized housings and cameras optimized for underwater shooting, though no single other product was highlighted explicitly from the 2020 DEMA event in the results [2].
Apart from DIVEVOLK, other industry leaders like Kraken Sports and Sea & Sea also showcased their top-tier products.

They also provide a Universal Smartphone Housing, Kraken Carbon Fiber Float Arms, Kraken 3500s+, and 5000s, as well as the Kraken Hydra 1000FE [3].

Additionally, the SeaLife Micro 3.0, a compact camera with 4K video and 16 megapixel images, was also showcased [4].
