Very nice. Walter Marti also posted a video from a trip to Anilao. I'm going there for the first time in about six weeks. Can't wait.

nice video wgreenti. what camera are you using? whats your tips on keeping the video so still?

The camera is a Sony HVR-Z7U in an Amphibico Phenom housing.

Keeping the camera still (or moving it smoothly) can be difficult, but expect improvements with practice. I think that I have also benefited from the broader housing. Small rigs seem much more vulnerable to movement errors. Take a look at many of the gopro videos on youtube, for example. I get the impression that mechanical advantage of the small housings exaggerates the movements, so extra care must be taken.

Your thinking is correct...analyzing your own videos and those of others is key to improvement. I'm definitely still working on it.
