Your cpu or video card is probably very slow. If you go to the gopro forums, there are a few things you can do to help run hd files smoother.
Your sdhc card is fine.

I saw this on deeperblue. Since the weather sucks, i figured it would a fun read.

greekdiver---WOW, that is a GREAT video
NICE shooting at a long way back up <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Your video answered a lot of questions I had:
1. Like how good are the GoPro pictures at deeper depth
2. Like how well does the head mounting work
3. What setting to use on the GoPro.Thanks again for taking all that time and effort to produce another great video.
You remain a great inspiration to me and many others here :toast2:Thanks Hau!
If you see the original, the quality is way better than the one uploaded to youtube. The gopro camera is the best deal going around and now that Dan will be selling them with lens included, its the best solution.
Btw my video was unedited. I didn't do any modifications like color, ect..

Great video - i liked how you edited the clips.
At what depth was the Cubera shot?
I would say at 70ft but i wasn't on the bottom. I was horsing him up if you could tell. I try to show the most interesting stuff in the video so i try to cut out the boring parts.

I shoot in R5 mode so the wide angle isn't that much. Some of the shots are far and some are close. R3 would be horrible for spearfishing. The fish would be tiny and super far away.
I try to raise the gun as high as possible near my eye level but sometimes that doesn't happen so i guess a shoot a little bit instinctively. If you stick with the same gun you own, and shoot it over and over, your shot should go exactly where you want it to go.

Nice Harry, when the weather calms down were on it again...and again....and again...
Yes sir.

Thanks Guys.
The lobsters were during miniseason
Dan,
Btw the wetsuit neck adjustment is so comfortable. You don't even feel it on your neck. Well worth it.

Enjoy! Spearfishing clips with SeaWeed and black1
King Mackerel, lobsters, AJ, Muttons, Cubera, Gags

It was one of the newer shafts. Daryl Wong offered to replace it for FREE and I declined. I did not think it was fair but I do think he is a very stand up guy and makes a good product with an amazing warranty. I will be ordering one of his guns one day.
I dont understand the picture. Did the tip just break off? Is that what i'm looking at?

Roberto,
I remember the PFI team was saying that.
Chasing those big groupers and muttons can easily cause a blackout if you are not careful.

Nice fish! How deep did you get him? Any story to it?
Congrats!
-
Congrats on a huge fish!!
Did you ever try using smaller bands and stretching them more? Probably get the same power out spear with a whole lot less recoil.
Just an idea to test out.

Cool guns.
I have seen most of them though. No surprises yet! Keep going... -
This one is for Harry, the Abellansub Designed by spanish Victor Abellan, and very skillfully manufactured by the expert italian weapon craftsman Gabriele Cristofolini, these guns have a aggressive appearance with the undefinable essence of beauty and grace.
They're made in Brescia, north of Italy, in the world's most ancient weaponry district (Beretta, Franchi, Perazzi, Uberti, Bernardelli and countless other firearms companies are located in the same few square kilometers where Abellansub spearguns lab as well.I have that gun. I dont know if I should sell it or not since i use the new version of the bigger model.

I know people love Dapiran guns. I have Dapiran fins and they are great.
Don Paul,
Your pics are too small!

On the other hand, Victor Abellan has developed his guns doing trials tests over the years. I don't own one, but I can say that everything has been tought and tested.
Who's in for the bet!?
So you do know something about Victor.
I think this is his 10th versionl for this gun over the years. He uses high speed cameras and does a ton of test with different shafts diameters and lengths. Im sure there will a different model next year or 2. -
No they're not as close as could be due to your system where the mono has to go inside the mech and the loop would interfere with loading if the tab was closer. A sharkfin tab can be .25" away from the mech housing, so you lose 1" right there in your pic. You lose another 1.25" of band stretch because you can't load both bands on one tab. You're the one that brought maximizing band stretch into the conversation when you mentioned the reverse mech. Now you're saying that 2.25" of lost band stretch doesn't matter?
As I explained before the separate holes make sure that the bands don't stack on each other even if loaded on one tab. This effect is further achieved by varying the length of the wishbone slightly, making the wishbone a little longer on the bottom band.
That system is more streamline than sharkfins. The mono behind the shaft produces less drag and technically more accurate since its pulling behind the spear, not on top.
Adding a longer wishbone to add to the same rear notch can be done on my gun. I choose not too because its essentially the same as loading it on the second tab with a short wishbone.
Good Debate Dan

Let me know where to do the shootout. It will fun but unfair competition. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I do agree though with Davie. It seems most of the wooden gun manufactures have simple guns which is fine. But charging top dollar does not make sense to me.
All wooden guns and pipe guns should shoot straight and kill fish. There isn't any reason why they wouldn't? Unless they are overpowered and they are using the wrong size shaft.
The only difference will be how well the gun is balanced, tracks through the water, power, recoil, and the extras
