That's an a lot of work to fix something that could be easily solved with a filter on the camcorder or housing. If the footage is already shot as he says, you really don't have much choice but to attempt to fix it post. Vegas has color correction wheels that will help, but I agree with...

What kind of burn times are you getting ? If the dual heads are too much for your existing battery and the canister is slim, you could get a 2nd head & battery. Slide the 2nd battery on your belt right next to your 1st battery. Sometimes it's nice having the option to go 1 light or 2.

"bad" is a very strong word. IMHO, 1 chip good, 3 chips better. My wife can't see a difference.

Hawaii doesn't have to be expensive. Inexpensive simple hotels and/or condo's can be found. Hawaii is one those places where most of my time is spent exploring.

Nice clip. It really shows the detail and resolution of HDV. No problem with the shake. I know how difficult it is to keep things still, especially when you are zoomed it. Rapidshare worked well. A lot easier than megaupload. I'll being using rapidshare from now on. Do you have a...

I hear ya diver 85. Sounds like they've had plenty of time to improve dive operations. You are right, if they don't keep the divers happy, they will loose that part of their business. Just curious, where else have you dove and what kind of diving do you like ? I've been to a lot of...

To be fair, if you were an owner, wouldn't you want to make money ? You have to figure they bought the resort with financing and it will take them at least a few years if not many years to break even. They invested more money to expand the resort. Hopefully for us divers, their next...

Housing, camcorder, and light lamps come with me on the plane. Light batteries get checked. If I have room, I also carry-on my regs. I use bathing suits, underwear and t-shirts for padding. Most airlines allow a carry-on, sized as you listed, plus a "personal" bag. For me, this is...

try www.megaupload.com A lot of people complain about all the advertisements and how long it takes to upload/download, but IMHO, how can you complain about something that is free ?

Nice lens. It's listed as 1 pound negative on the Gates site.

I like Habitat. The restaurant service can be a little slow, the resort and rooms aren't fancy, but if you picture a dedicated dive resort and not a resort that has diving (Marriott), it should meet your expectations. My favorite thing about Habitat is the convenience and quality of diving...

Ah, not everyone coming from a cruiseship is evil. :14: Not all vacations can be dedicated dive vacations. Want to go on a vacation with the extended family including grandparents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, etc.. ? Want to try to sneak in a few dives ? A cruise is kinda nice. :coffee:

You can call me a wimp too. :D I'm not a fan of rough seas and rocking boats, especially since I'll have an expensive video camera in hand. I'll take Doc's suggestion and shore dive the house reef if the seas are rough. :coffee:

The housing itself should not be too bad. I had a Gates 900 housing. It was just slightly negative. Adding negative lights/arms and a super wide angle lens was a problem. I used closed cell foam to get it neutral when I used these accessories. Pakman, do you know the buoyancy of your...

I doubt Sony or any of the camcorder manufacturers care about uw video. We are probably a drop in the bucket compared to topside use. The lanc control is starting to look less valuable for uw as Sony took away manual white balance access. I hope tape doesn't go away anytime soon. I'm...

When I 1st got into uw video I decided to go w/ ULCS arms instead of LocLine. I think it was the issue of LocLine arms not being able to hold the weight of heavier lights out of the water and also possible in the water. The newer LocLine arms are probably stronger than what was available at...

Sony is the most popular camcorder brand for uw video because it has the most housing options. Nothing wrong with buying a SD camcorder if this is your 1st time and/or this will only be a casual hobby.

I have the new 8" buoyancy arms. They feel pretty light. Although the arm itself is buoyant, when you add the 2 adapters and 2 connectors, it's about neutral.

Where did you dive in Roatan ? I've read drastically different opinions depending on what part of the island was dove. If going there for the 1st time this August. Hopefully I'll be diving the "good" part.

Last I looked, ULCS did not update their website yet. Here is a link to a post on another board, that has some pics, details and price. I ordered mine direct from Terry at ULCS. Link
