New Go Pro HD Hero UW Video Cameras

[Airleron]

I bought my husband one for his birthday. One his first dive he strapped it on his forehead. It was good, but understand that it's wide angle. No closeups of the seahorse were really sharp and visible. With the camera running the entire time, he was able to shoot about 30 minutes of vid. (he needs a larger card). The next dive he mounted it on the flash diffuser on his camera, and it was better. He was able to chose when to turn it on, and it took pretty decent video. Our winter dive site doesn't normally have great viz. I expect he'll have it perfected for summer diving.

Maybe I am a little late here but have some questions for the flat port.

1. who makes a flat port for the housing?

2. where can i see it and get some additional information?

3. I couldn't fine any flat port information on Dive Right In Scuba | Plainfield scuba diving lessons and scuba equipment. We also provide scuba certification for the Chicago area. site

Thanks

Bill

I just got my Go Pro from Mako Spearguns. The flat lens came with it for free. Going on a night dive tomorrow. Will post a video ASAP.

I know this is an old thread, but I am new to the gopro camera. I looked at your website and I only found the sartek housing which has problems with vignetting except in r5. Did you have problems with the version which you were working on?

 

[Dive Right In Scuba]

Yes, they will all have some slight vignetting due to the camera design.

Did you see the Sartek Sport Buddy? This thing is sweet and comes with everything and has no vignetting issues. We just got them in:
Sartek Industries 1080 HD Sport Buddy - Dive Right In Scuba - Plainfield, IL

bonus,, i have tried contacting another company that makes a flat lens without a reply, i would prefer to give my business to a company that wants it and DRIS has always been good to me.

Hey,

I'd like to suggest the SRP BlurFix. You may have seen this video but just in case here is a comparison of some of the 3rd pary solutions. BlurFix is easy to use and offers the option of adding color filters if needed.
