Buying Gopro 4 this weekend, need suggestions, lights, tray, etc for diving

Thanks, That's exactly what I was looking at. I was trying to see if he was flying FPV in the video. I thought I caught a peak when he flew by the car and he was looking straight, but it was hard to see if he was wearing goggles.

I appreciate the tip

We just came back from a dive trip at Indonesia using GoPro 3+black & 1 Archon video light (W40VR). While the Archon light has a really broad spread though not deep, one light still doesn't seem to be enough to fill the scene for adequate lighting during the day at depth. Having a light even in broad day light underwater at 5M below makes a huge difference to bring all the lost color out. Night dive may be ok for one broad video light.

I'm taking two video lights next time for the Gopro rig. I remember other Gopro discussions recommending 2 lights.

Also, a good filter is key as well. The switchblade 3 that has both RED & Macro really worked.

I wrote a review on Amazon recently about why I decided to go with the Hero 4 Silver over the Hero 4 Black or the Hero 3+ Black. A lot of the same things were already discussed but it may help you guys out as I put a lot of research into this before making my purchase:

to answer the opening question:

1. filters - SRP, polarpro, bacskcatter, i have them all! for price and simplicity, i really like the polarpro glass filters. i think polarpro got a bad reputation because of their original plastic filters.

I am shopping for a red filter and polarizer for my new 3+. Can you tell me your opinion on whether the SRP blurfix or CYD is worth the additional cost over a polar pro glass?

Thanks

All about LED backs (except touch screen) and lights has been discussed before, too many threads to list but search out. There is video to illustrate. FYI I started with a JVC Picsio with an LED and before long I noticed I wasn't looking at the LED but framing by pointing the camera.

i have both and both give good results, so no, not worth the additional cost in my opinion.

OK so I take it the image sharpness is equally good with both.
The polar pro website does not mention the use of glass on the product listings whole third party sellers do. Confusing...

I THINK all the Polar Pro red filters are glass now.
