    Why does it take so long to get a 'Still' from GoPro footage ... ???

    You can simply open the GoPro software then go to step 2 where you can import already converted cineform video files. Step 1 is only for the unconverted but in step 2 you point put in a cineform file and make changes if you like to it or even go back to scratch. I use this feature all the time...

    Little confused with SRP filters.

    I have used the filter a bit for the plus and can take it off underwater quite easily, you just need to pull at one of the sides its a bit tighter on land. Underwater its quite a bit easier I found, I can make a little video showing the way I do it as it doesnt seem that hard. If you seal the...

    Do I really need a tray or pole for my GoPro?

    If you plan on doing lots of diving you can first just try hand holding it but you will find it very hard to keep steady. Its so small and light weight that I find it very hard to get steady shots, any extra hardware like a monopod pole or tray will help with stability. I use a 2 handed tray...

    3D mount solution for Hero3

    I did experiment with 3d and the blacks not underwater but both right way up and inverted. I found the 2 right way up to be fine and prefered the spacing keeping lenses closer to the same distance apart as human eyes. There is a minimum distance to object dependent on lens distance if both are...

    What mode to shot in?

    In the 2 you dont get the option for cam raw so its not quite as big a benefit for UW use, also it tends to get a bit noisy compared to the black and black plus especially in lower light. If using protune on the hero2 you will need to add software noise reduction to most clips but in the black's...

    What mode to shot in?

    For underwater use I think shooting in protune and cam raw is a big advantage on the black and black plus, frame rate wise I use 30p most of the time but in very good light 60p can be ok. My go to UW setting is 2.7k30 pt and cam raw with or without a filter and then post process to get the wb as...

    SRP CYD vs CY filter

    Performance wise I haven't noticed any real difference between the 2, in theory the dome should get more even colour filtering with the fisheye lens but I really havent noticed this thoug I havent done a proper direct comparison. The regular CY has no outer threads either to minimize the profile...

    SRP Snake River Prototyping Red Filters and Macro Lens are STUNNING in Performance.

    Good stuff Dave, I agree with all you have said and have been using SRP gear since their first hero1 Blurfix (back when it actually needed to fix blur) and before I even looked into other filters. Then once I tried the URpro filters the results blew me away, I have also used just about...

    GoPro Superview Recommendations?

    Superview is a way of dynamically stretching the full sensor image inot a 16:9 format. The sensor is in 4:3 aspect ratio the same as the photos from the gopro or the 1440p mode and 960p modes in video. This works great for when you want you to be fully in the frame but it also exaggerates image...

    GoPro Hero3+ - Video Settings

    Here is the setup I use, I have a couple different sets of lights. With the black + I can either use the stock black housing for deeper dives or the new plus and new srp adapter but all the same filters as they both take 55mm filters. u73BNgs8U6c I have been using this tray for quite a...

    GoPro Hero3+ - Video Settings

    If your diving under 30m depth with good light a filter will give you much better colours, beyond 30m there isnt enough light so the filter will hurt so best to use no filter but lights if you have them. White balance is a seperate issue to the benefit of a filter and you need good wb to get...

    Truk lagoon deeper wrecks

    Main limitation of the setup was battery life of both the camera and lights, the guys were all on rebreathers and doing fairly long 1 1/2 to 2hr dives so the batteries would die before the end of the dives. This meant some of the cooler stuff near the end of most dives never got captured. It was...

    GoPro Hero3+ - Video Settings

    Generally id say its the same as the regular 3 black, the main thing you need to do is decide if you want to do post grading or not. This is the main decision I think as Protune with cam raw is amazing what you can get out of a gopro but you do need to do some post work. This will make editing...

    Truk lagoon deeper wrecks

    Hey guys I haven't posted here much recently due to not doing that much diving over the last year and also someone that spoiled the fun a little here a while back. Here is a edit I did recently after lending a friend a GoPro black the SRP tray and light setup, I got their new lights a while ago...

    Underwater filter for hero 3

    Here is one of my more recent ones using the URPro CY filter with a blurfix3 adapter, good light OK vis max depth 25m. I think the combination did pretty well combined with the gopro 3 black in protune with cam raw wb and graded in cine form studio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgfevNMjX3M

    Hero3 Black testing underwater

    Anti fogging methods are pretty much needed and I don't see the point of buying a camera, tray, lights and filters if in the end your end result may be useless due to fogging. No point shooting hd video if its out of focus so your wasting your money on all your camera gear and dive trip if you...

    Just picked up a Hero 3 Black!

    I think an easily changeable lens camera should be one main thing gopro should be looking at in the next models, there may be some issues with the housing though using other lenses unless they also make a selection of lenses to fit their own housing. Or make another housing with changeable lens...

    Warning on Sandisk Ultra cards and hero 3 black cameras.

    One other issue some people are having with the 64gb cards is that some older operating systems may not be compatible with the exfat format. If this is the case then each time you connect it to your computer or do a format in your computer it may cause some format corruption which will make the...

    Hero3 Black first video - sharks

    Nice video thanks for sharing, I love those grey Nurse Sharks and one day my Hero3's will get to see them but the recent bad weather up north has canceled my last couple of trips amongst these awesome creatures. Where is this filmed? the first shots looked very much like the shallow exit of the...
