Need a little advice...I have been looking at the GoPro HD surfhero video camera and reading about some focus issues it has underwater. I have seen two aftermarket companies that make some changes to the standard case that is supposed to fix the issue by adding a flat lens onto a replacement housing. The two companies are Sartek and Eyeofmine both seem to do the same thing for around $100 and increase the depth rating to 200ft. Has anyone used either of these housings? Feedback?
Thank you
Jon
 
Yes, I have used and reviewed both the GoPRO HEROHD, the Eye of Mine housing, the Contour HD and a soon to be published Sartek housing on the kenstone.net and lafcpug.org editing websites. The housing for the GoPRO is fine for topside work or on a surfboard but it is very difficult to get clarity, resolution and focus with it underwater. Both the Sartek and Eye of Mine improve things greatly. Steve
 
I ordered the GoforFocus.com lens. Works great. Just unscrew and replace the original lens. Comes with red color correction filter. Here's a compilation from last weekend.
