I had a home made gopole that cost me about $10 to put together, and it worked fine both above and below water. It was a great project, but it finally broke, and now I'd like a "real" one. I do both land and underwater videography (neither well!). I've narrowed it down to the Evo and the Reach.
Pro for the Evo - waterproof and floats
Pro for Reach - longer
Con for Evo - floats (I'm concerned it will get in the way when clipped off and not being used, instead of just hanging down)
Con for Reach - not waterproof. I understand it's fine if you rinse it out after using it in the ocean, but it's just not designed for the job.
I know I should get both in true Scubaboard tradition, but I am cheap, in true Scubaboard tradition
Has anyone tried both?
