VIDEO - Daytime Lobster Grabbing - Nov 1st, 2011 +++ gopro HD review

spearstuff · 2011-11-02T13:42:57-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EeAqlWsjEQ Watch the video in 720p Went out yesterday to Laguna Beach for a quick lobster dive on a reef I know well enough. Vis, waves, and swell were all perfect as far as I was concerned. I bet I could have grabbed my limit if I stayed out longer. But I didn't want to take a bunch of bugs today, so I called it quits after 3. ******************************** Testing my new gopro hd camera. First I bought the Mako Spearguns polycarbonate flat lens to go with my gopro. And I'm already thinking I should have bought the Pursuit glass lens. The poly lens scratches way too easy. Low light capabilities are very limited compared to my old point and shoot SD550. Using the same dive light it is very noticeable to me. I don't think I'll be using the gopro very much for my night time diving. However I love the headmount strap and the one button record feature. It was super easy to swim around the reef and dive into caves with it on my head. I doubt I could do that with such ease with any other camera. I was recording at 1080, but for rendering and uploading purposes I'm going to stick with uploading at 720 to save some time. I did ruin a couple videos cause the angle of the head mount wasn't quite right. Next time I'll try pushing the angle further down and see how that goes. So far I'm liking the gopro. The video quality is very nice when there's enough light and the headmount feature makes it a perfect for my kind of diving :thumbsup2:
