GoPro HD2 with a large stingray and seal

[Marty Cerven]

This was shot in 960P30 and 720p60 modes using a SRP blurfix adapter and cyan filter, I made it 1080p as an experiment with YouTube as I don't like the quality of the 720P videos there too much, Im not sure if it ended up much better but seeing as GoPro up res all their videos to 1080p on yt it can hurt to try lol. I just stretched the 960P footage to eliminate the black borders and stretched to fit the 720P video.

I think the 1080P wide mode is probably the best with the HD2 underwater but I was doing some tests at the time and had it on 960p when i first saw these 2 cool creatures and then switched to 720P60 which is my old faithful mode lol, to make sure I got some cool video.

The blurfix has virtually no vignetting using the HD2 even in 960P modes with only a couple of corner pixels effected and could be used un-cropped but when mixing a 4:3 mode and 16:9 mode I didn't want any black bars so I stretched it.

I was wondering what depth you shot at

I have been looking at the gopro, thanks! Look forward to your next video

This was only around 5m pretty shallow but you can check my channels for some deeper stuff. They are all using the hd1 and from what I've seen hd2 is better at low light so should perform better at all depths.

I will be posting deeper hd2 video soon.
