Does anyone out there have any information on this camera/video unit. It looks like a sound idea. Hopefully someone out there has some experience with this.

I second the question - it seems like a great idea, wondered if anyone had any experience w/it?

I also would like to know the quality. Anyone have one?

I have one and used it the other day at Dutch Springs for their annual New Years Eve Day dive. It was pretty good, but there were some negatives. First, the bubble noise drove me crazy. Also, when I exhaled, the bubbles shook the mask, which you can see on the video. Also, the camera is jerky. Not because its poor quality...actually its very high quality. Its because its on my face, so where ever I look the camera looks, and I was looking around alot.

On the up side, the video quality is great. I just wish I waited a little longer before buying it, since they just announced the HD322 that goes to 130' and has a wide angle lens.

If you want to watch the video's I took, here they are. I had to edit the 49 minute video down to under 20 minutes, and then I split them up into two since youtube has a 10 minute max. per video.

Enjoy...

Hello,

Have someone tried it with good rechargeable batteries like eneloop from sanyo or something similar (800 mAh). Those lithium batteries are going to be expensive in regular use.

Great for underwater video and pics. Not a pro unit, but it also costs much, much less. It's actually a very economical choice for a SCUBA diving camera, and it is much easier to bring with you on your dives.

You may consider the Hero Wide with the 100' rated housing:

The pictures are more than good for the price and the camer is so tiny that you can mount it where you want.

I got my from Leisure Pro and while it is list there for the same price, I called them and got a better deal. I also bought the set of lights to go with it. I just returned from my first dive trip with it and will write a complete review soon, but one thing I want to say is if you buy the mountable lights, before using them take the set apart (remove the lights from the mounting bracket) and tighten the screws. On my first dive one of the lights came loose and if it was not for the Cuban dive master with us I would have lost it. He even managed to save the small plastic bushing. After the dive I checked the second light and the screw on it was very loose as well. I also found an offset screwdriver to be very useful for the mountimg.

Post up the pics and / or videos to check out. I would like to see how the lights helped out the pictures. Thank god for dive masters!!!
