CSSP GoPro test

Odd that you can see the round lens on this

With the drop-in flat lenses (like the Mako) you get that in any mode other than R5 (1080p) due to the wider field of view (R5 is 127degrees, the others are 170 I believe).

Most editing packages should let you crop the image down, but you're going to lose some resolution if that matters.

I put this together from footage I shot on Sunday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRRbVQgzb08 This was shot in R5 (1080) and editing in iMovie, exported as 720p (I've been having issues getting it to export in 1080 - think I might upgrade to iMovie 11 and see if it helps)

This was just to get comfortable with workflow before I dig into the 80GB of video I brought back from my GBR trip...

Yeah, I agree. I gotta put a call out to Mako and see WTF's doin. Sure, I can edit it, but why should I have to? I noticed on yours that you're not getting the "effect" and both lenses look the same (in pictures at least).

Here's the video that I took showing the guy barf'ing into his reg at about 50fsw.

I didn't see any cookies being tossed

I purchased a ball mount that attaches to my camera housing and a ball that mounts to my gopro from Bluewater Photo, Video & Underwater Cameras. I have the go pro sitting on top of my camera during the dive. Works great! It's angled to look where my camera looks so I just point it around like a video camera and take pictures when I want and the gopro catches it all... Works great.

He's tossn' in his reg, so you're not gonna see chunks, only him kneeling in the sand; head down and almost falling over at the end. That's what prompted me to swim over to him, when he was weaving pretty bad. Could you imagine someone taking their reg out to barf? Not gonna happen!

Yeah, that's a pretty good idea too and something that I'll try along with the helmet.

I threw an MRE through a reg once, stuff came out the exhaust ports and I had to rinse it out, I expected to see some serious bubbles and a cloud. Must have been a wimpy Co2 up-chuck!

I thought you were supposed to signal out-of-air to you buddy first, and then heave thru *their* reg in those situations?
