Best settings for GOPRO?

[freeze43]

Hi, just got a GOPRO Hero for my birthday. So excited!

I was just wondering if anyone knew the best settings to use with scuba diving, where I should fix it to, what video resolution mode works best etc. I guess I'm concerned mainly about blur, but I suppose exposure settings and so on are important too. Are the picture or other functions useful too?

Thanks for your help!

If u don't have the flat port lens, gopro or another one of the brands out there don't waste your time. Settings wise I run at full HD. I have the gopro flat port housing and the videos are pretty good underwater. You can see my videos at www.sidemountwreckdiver.com

Agreed, go with the flat lens case. I bought the GoPro brand case, it was about $50 vs $75 for one of the other brands. You can take the lens cover off and put a red filter on it so it clears up your video. I don't remember where, I think maybe on YouTube, but I found videos that showed the difference with and with out the filter. It makes a big difference. One other thing to take into consideration, you will need to have a plenty of storage place for your videos because you will fill up your hard drive real quick.
