GoPro camera's...focus problem / Solution

[StevenCT]

Hey Guys

I have recently gotten a HD Gopro camera, which is amazing.

I was very frustrated with the soft focus when filming underwater and can up with my own solution. If anyone else is in the same position please look here to see what Ive done. And hope I can help.

Anyone know of an external red filter ~38mm that could be fitted to the black ring and held by friction or maybe a screw thread adapter that could be glued to the black ring and filter screwed on?

I have the non-HD version of the GoPro. My solution for a red filter was to place inside the housing, between the camera and the lens port, a very small piece of red clear gift wrap I bought at a craft supply store. It doesn't work well in low light but if the ambient light is pretty good it does a good job of acting as a red filter and costs just a couple dollars.
