GoPro For Diving Tips

[Juanmacano]

Try cineform studio to adjust brightness&contrast, select a timeline and so on. It is free and you download from gopro site. For editing, Camtasia studio is powerful and -most important- easy if you don't need very advanced features

I love my GoPro - I use the Snake River Prototyping with the SWCY red filter - seems to work pretty good down to 40' or so in clear water. I made my own "poke it with a stick" pole. Let's me get the camera right in their face.

Pic of the pole:
View attachment 129077

A simple hiking pole, a rubber expansion nut and some 1/4-20 SS hardware from Home Depot, and a tripod adapter from GoPro. I can send pictures and directions if anyone wants.

GoPro vid -please be kind - this was taken during our OW check out dives and the dives we did right after that. Have used the camera a lot fo snorkeling, free diving, but this is my first shot at scuba video. No color correction - a little bit of contrast in post and edited each clip for length -that's it.

Thats a fantastic video! That's exactly why I bought a GoPro for my trip to Negril. I only hope mine will come out close to the quality that you achieved. Why are your pictures so clear and colourful, unlike most that I see posted on You Tube which are grainy, blurry, jittery, and dark? Are they all shot with a "pole mount" and no lights or filter?

Fantastic video!

I need to get a red lens for mine.. Currently using 3 GoPros... 1 original that is horrible in all honesty, and 2 Hero2s. With flat dive housings... Always comes out fantastic with no correction at all! I need to get my hands on a 3 though!
