Flat Polycarbonate Lens For GoPro - Pursuit Diving

Looks like the one Mako Spearguns makes : MAKO Flat GoPro Housing Lens

Currently using my GoPro (w/Mako lens) in Mexico while doing some breather stuff & single cylinder numptying on the reefs. 1st time using it and have it mounted on a bike helmet. Will post a clip when I return.

What type of video editing software are you using? Hopefully something free that I can get

That becomes work, right now I just throw it on my helmet (yes, I said helmet ) and dive. Idea being I'm not diving to video, I'm just diving and oh look, I just happen to have some video too.

That's what I'm looking to do also. Capture video only as a record of what I saw for friends and family - for fun, nothing else. Now the helmet thing... hmmmm.... :cool2:

Yeah, me too. Just having some fun . . . sort of. Looked at the video I took on Monday and it seems when I back rolled in, the camera (on my helmet) angled down a few degrees and I ended up with 50mins of video looking at my hands holding my still camera (and strobe)

BTW- ended up having PS CS4 extended on my laptop and it has video editing in the package . . . sweet! (note to self: must reach top of helmet and feel camera angle before starting to video)

Have fun with your setup

I just got back from Bonaire and took my GoPro on just about every dive. I have the head band mount. This worked nicely. I put on my mask then put the GoPro on. No interference between eachother. The only issue would be if you remove your mask for whatever reason the GoPro will come off too. Making sure you have the angle right when wearing it works out great too. On several dives I would just hold it in my hand and that worked out good too. I took both still and video with it. I have the 32 gig card in and actually filled it during the week of diving. For the price this is a great camera.

Great post... use Vimeo for sure... it seems to make for much better video.
