My point was - isn't 1mtr too far from the nose to frame a shot on a tiny LCD less than 3" wide? The typical thing one would do when composing and framing is check the horizon line and the 1/3rd lines align up. Here the screen is too far away from you and too tiny as well. So while it is nice to confirm that the underwater beast was captured in your frame, there is nothing really useful to be done to improve the shot is there? What if one would rather simply rely on the wide-angle lens to capture everything when pointing in the general direction of the subject? An LCD becomes more useful when using the double handle frame close to the chest.
One hang up I always had with photography is that one loses out on experiencing the event with ones own senses in a direct and aware fashion because one is focussed on the LCD or viewfinder and how it will look to the rest of the world while framing and composing the shot - that moment is gone for ever.
PS: Reminder - I am only asking for a justification for the LCD as a person who has never used a gopro underwater. Is it really worthwhile to spend on a lcd with a gopole or should the LCD purchase be deferred until a double handle traditional UW case is bought?
