Very creative with camera mount. I have bonica snapper hddv and I too have to use 60fps 720p because anything less is a blur. Unfortunately one limitation of my camera is while it has all kinds of fancy buttons to control every single option.. it is just not practical because by time you change settings your target is gone. I shoot either 1080 and try to not move (ie when I am parked somewhere) or for the most part I shoot everything in 720p at 60fps and carve it post production.
 
okay... head mount.. check.. another item to buy from gopro! hahha..


nice video there...
 
Can someone post image of 720p Mako lens, how bad is vignetting? Is it like Sartec one? Sartec almost invisible. I've also heard, that Gopro finally fixed their own housing and if you call them to order and ask about new lens, they include new one. Does someone know if it's vignette at 720p?Thanks.
 
here is a shot. Its not terrible. For the price I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again, although, I'm cheap.

Do you have any more info about this lens from GoPro? I know they have been working on it for a while but if its officially available like you say then I'm surprised they haven't publicly said anything about it.

If it is a real gopro fixed setup id like to know how it looks and is it available in the 3D housing.
 
Well, unfortunately I don't know much, it's been more then year "we're working on the fix". They are like , so secretive, :) I've read somewhere, that you can buy it from them, if you specifically request. I want to buy one now and was hoping someone here know about new lens from Gopro. I think they don't care much about scuba divers, prolly we are too small for them. I'm going to buy one from Mako Spearguns site. it comes with flat lens, so it's basically free, if they fix it, it's another $40 for housing or more :)
 
Took a Go Pro with the Mako lens to 180 feet this weekend. Worked great!
