Ask for SANYO HD 2000

I highly recommend nocturnal lights SLX 800s with the 90-degree diffusion - these lights work very well with my HD1. Also, The Intova Supernova is another low cost LED type light that people enjoy for UW video.

Have fun with it.

what kind of filter with house? can I use a Normal 67mm red filter for underwater.

With lights, no filter needed - also - I prefer to shoot a white balance vice use a filter - that way I get better color at various depth....

I use this housing exclusively. I only now added an ikelite pro V-8 light to it and will be checking it out next week on Key Largo. Search Youtube for 'MqrPDDvNJPI' for a clip I shot in St. Thomas using this setup.

I find the housing very easy to use, and the camera produces great HD video. I also recommend the DCL-20 wide angle lens that Epoque makes, it's very sharp and makes the rig a bit heavier and easier to handle.

Hello DavisNYC. Nice video. I have the Sanyo FH1, which is the horizontal equivalent of the HD2000. It works great topside, so I'm interested to see more underwater footage from the HD2000.

I assume you live in New York City. There is a dive group that meets once a month at the Arctica Bar to show underwater pictures/videos, eat, drink and socialize. We are meeting this coming Tuesday, Feb 2nd.

It's a nice group. Everyone is pretty friendly. Some people show their work, but many don't and just come to watch and socialize.

Here is a link to their website describing February's meeting topic, if you are interested.

Cuimic I don't know where you are planning to dive - but in tropical water I found no need to use a filter at all. I just white balanced against my hand held in front of the lens which I found gave good colours and meant I didn't have to carry a slate. Also being an easy method it I was able to do so frequently each time I changed depth.

I guess whether to get the clog or not depends on whether you want to try and use it at night with a light or not. Personally I mounted my hosing on a base plate with two arms which meant is was easier to hold steady - it also meant I could mount a lens holder on one arm to hold the WA lens when I wasn't using it.
