Hello all !
Here is my current set up...
GoPro 9 with Dive Housing.
Sea Frogs Aluminum Tray
BackScatter Flip with shallow and deep dive red lenses.
2 - TrustFire DF30 150 degree diving video lights with 2350 lumens each. Each light is equipped with 2 XE-3535 Red LEDs at 620 nm wavelength. They are also equipped with 2 UXEO-G UV LEDs at 395 nm wavelength.
2 - Sea Frog D60mm 8" Carbon Fiber Float Arms
In 2019, for my first saltwater dive, I dove Cozumel's reefs with a GoPro 4 Silver and red lenses with a wrist mount. ( I looked like Super Man down there with my arm out in front of me the whole time) While the video was okay, for the most part, there was quite a bit of shaking and wobbling. Also, there were times the video color bounced back and forth when I got close to my subject matter.
For my birthday this year, I received quite a few Amazon gift cards and I proceeded to use them on the above listed items, building me a new dive camera setup.
I am going to be diving in Cozumel again this December and I wasn't sure if I should use the BackScatter Flip Red lenses or if I should use the red lights that are built in to my dive lights? My thoughts are to use the Flip Lens when out in the open, but then use the Red Lights when getting close to my object I'm trying to film. But that's why I am asking for you help...
I would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions you may have on this subject. Also any setting preferences on the 9 that would improve my videos that you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !!!
