This may be repetitive; I have read tons of threads about this on here already, but still cannot seem to make up my mind regarding filters and macro lenses for my GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition. Some threads relate to older models of the filters and GoPro and new comparison videos are hard to find. I am new to GoPro as well as underwater videography. I have chosen the Sealife Aquapod to use while diving. I just moved back to the Pacific Northwest so I will be doing a lot of diving here -- but I think I will use lights rather than a greenwater filter.
However, I will be traveling and diving frequently in tropical locations and am having trouble deciding between filters. I have ruled out Polar Pro, and am considering Backscatter's Flip 3.1 Combo pack or SRP's Blurfix3+ with CYD. These two seem to be the most popular and highly recommended. Backscatter combo includes 3 filters -- is this excessive or is it necessary? It seems slightly more convenient that Blurfix3+ only has one filter, but will the the Flip3.1's filters create more optimal footage? It seems convenient that you can flip up the filters on the Flip 3.1 though. I am really torn about this -- any input would be helpful. Any thoughts?
I was deciding between SRP's Marumi Macro +10 lens and Backscatter's Macromate Mini lens. Backscatter's setup seems convenient since you can flip the macro lens up and away while not in use. Because of this, I am leaning towards Backscatter's macro lens. Would it make more sense for me to get the Flip 3.1 too, then?
Note: quality is much more important to me than price, so price is not a deciding factor.
Also, I appreciate your advice in advance and sorry if this post is repetitive, I know there has been a lot of discussion on these topics. Thank you!
