Underwater time-lapse photography. Anyone?

[DiveNav]

Hi,
I have few questions regarding the subject.

If you are familiar with time-lapse photography, have you ever done it underwater?
Or have you ever thought about doing it?
Or, if you already do it, what equipment do you use?

Thanks

I haven't but the GoPro's have that ability:

Time-lapse: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60 second intervals

I believe certain models of Sea Life cameras have that feature. Also, if you shoot with Canon DSLR, you can use Magic Lantern.

You might contact the folks at Backscatter in Monterey. A couple of years ago, when I was down there diving at Lobos, they were doing some work with time-lapse.

I assume you want to take timelapse underwater at fixed focus, this straightforward with a gopro not so with many cameras however in some cases you can put a rubber string and a piece of tac to keep the shutter pressed this usually goes around 1 fps depending on the camera
You will need some kind of tripod or more cheaply a tray and a weight belt

I havent tested it and I would be really worried about my camera getting stolen if I where to leave the camera for longer than when I would be down there with it..

I've tried it with my GoPro. Either I don't have a setting right or I don't know how to combine it The next time I go to a dive site when I'm not a passenger, I intend to try again.

I've decided to offer an underwater time-lapse camera system I developed as a standard product...

I can vouch for the GoPro option (HERO4 black).
CamDo have a time lapse controller which you can use with the extended backdoor if you want to set and forget for a few days plus a super deepwater housing if you want to get serious.
