For using filters with DSLRs, the current approach is to use Magic Filters here is a link to them from Backscatter, but any of the camera companies sell them whether you use Reef Photo or anyone else: Magic Filters for Digital Photography Underwater The filters are pre-cut to slip in the...

Hey There, I do not know but will do some checking around on this and get back to you...

Hi Geoffrey! Just to add more fuel to the conversation, Light and Motion is coming out with 4000's in April. The 1200 new lights are pretty phenomenal. Gates is coming out with lights in April as well. The underwater technology is finally catching up with video...

3D within 5 years will be standard. Photo and video completely merging. Internet based shows as the norm. Applications. Video and multi-media revolution. It is here and we are just now starting to see the beginnings. I watched a video yesterday on somebody's phone that was edited in imovie on...

Hi Everyone, We have been busy during this past year finishing up a new series of books, DVDS and teacher lesson plans for Pre K to K and 1st to 3rd grade. The DVDS started shipping in January, the books will be finished for the summer and the teacher lesson plans for September 2011. I would...

Another tip for you is that when you want to buy a camera for underwater to always consult someone who specializes in Underwater Video Sales...such as Reef Photo, Backscatter or H2O...there are quite a few out there. The reason being is that there are hundreds of video cameras on the market and...

Hi Everyone, There is a lot more people moving from photo to video and interchanging. Here are a few things to take into consideration when just starting out. 1. Make sure you know how to hover and are a diver that knows all of their scuba diving equipment. You cannot shoot underwater...

I waited to respond because I did not want to spread rumors but the mac pro was just announced with a 12 core processor. I use final cut and mac and have since they came out more than a decade ago. It changed desktop editing and if you buy at an apple store you get ten free classes with your...

Hey there, sorry to hear about your last camera. When diving in Galapagos nearly a decade ago, I was taking photos of a whale shark tail. Someone spooked the whale shark that must have been too close to it's eye and he did a whack of the tail and sped off at a great speed. My camera flew out...

There are so many cameras on the market with underwater capabilities. On a recent expedition I went on, I wanted a small point and shoot system to back up my professional system. Thanks to Carter at Samy's Camera here in Santa Barbara after we reviewed a whole bunch of cameras, I purchased one...

Wide Angle Lens is what you want for video. You want as wide as a port as possible. You want to know how to use manual focus because with the action that happens if you use auto focus it will zip in and out of focus too much. You also want to do manual focus because of the action from deep to...

Hi Everyone! We have a trip going to the Southern Channel Islands from August 22-26th focusing on photography, video, editing and GREAT diving. I would love anyone from this community to come dive with me! Or tell your friends. We have 6 spots available and it is a limited load. We are...

Thanks for watching the video. Yes everything is fine here now. Sadly 80 homes were lost but the fire didn't come anywhere close to us. There are a few hot spots north of us that the fire fighters are working to put out. They say the fires maybe completely out by next week. Thanks for the concern.

After you watch the DVD if you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer. Lighting is an amazing tool in underwater video and once you learn how to control it, you learn when to shoot and when not to shoot!

Before you knock anything out, check the cable between tv and device. You need to have the right connection there or else everything looks terrible!

You want to save for the lights. Perfect time to shoot is one hour before sunset with lights. The colors are unbelievable...truly they are. I don't know if you ever saw chapter 7 of the Camera Coach DVD that we created, but it is all explained in that dvd. During the day with lights, it is...

I have one. Call me at 805-453-1947

Congratulations on going to video. I think you will really enjoy the process, just remember shooting and editing go together!

I usually bring my camera and computer carry on and pack my housing. This is the way I have traveled for nearly two decades. Hope this helps.

Drag and drop. But before you do is the 1T a raid? If so, set it so you have it as back up. Also, is it a video hard drive. This past summer I had 3 hard drives crash and after serious discussions with the IT people at LaCie, we finally discovered that there are certain hard drives designed...
