hi all, so i have a go pro hero 4 black and the videos and stills are ok but i think there is room for improvement. i have a red filter which improves it a little but not as much as id like. looking to boost it with a few purchases:
1. a tray - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1IS5XKYMBAIWR - seems straight forward enough, assume its all i really need?
2. lights presumably with good lights i don't need the filter or would i need a filter as well? bit torn on this as i have seen 2:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evolva-Fut...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=94J3V9MPR4H9TX8FHHW7 - good reviews but do i need 2? 1 for each side?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof...s&pd_rd_r=STQMB5H42MM4ZAXV4F9C&_encoding=UTF8 - cheaper but i don't know if it would be as good as the above ones or better or worse
4 - Macro lens - i really want a macro lens to go with my go pro standard housing. ideally one that flips out of the way as its only going to be necessary for certain situations and not all the time. now i have found lenses for as low as £10 but it seems too cheap considering lenses for my SLR cost a lot more but i can't find any that are much more than that and there are limited articles i can find on them. also has mixed reviews.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product..._act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A70NNKMGZLPLO - This switchblade is a bit more at £40 but again has mixed reviews. i am looking at buying my own reg set which isn't going to be cheap so i don't want to/can't afford anything too costly camera accessory wise but i also don't want to pay peanuts and get rubbish gear. any advice?
anything else that you would recommend that i may have missed or haven't considered?
oh and if it matters my diving is generally warm clearer waters between 18m-30m
thanks in advance
