Placed a good shot on the Cubera and I pulled him away from wreck before it holed up. Unfortunately, the shaft bent from me putting the brakes on this fish.

Dan, watch Red Dog. Awesome movie. I think you will enjoy it being a dog lover.

What you want in a fin
Pathos footpocket if you can fit in it. Footpocket is just so light.
Carbon fiber
Medium to medium soft
Decent on the surface swims
Light
Durable
inexpensive
People spend so much money switching fins back and forth. Pursuit is very a good fin and is priced real well. I do not see myself switching to another fin. Is it the best fin out there? I do not know. But I do know that spending money for a 5% improvement if that, is not worth it. A better dviing form and finning technique will go so much further than a different carbon blade.

love mine too!

this color or white would be the best. If you happen to drop your knife and its black, you will most likely not find it.
Same goes for flashlights. I would use those 2 colors.
-
Yellow first, then White. White is brighter than you would think.

Shot 4 muttons = 45lbs. Gave one to the neighbor before picture. It was good to get out. It has been a while.
-
Another thing I notice is that the rope is too thick for the design of the snap swivel. The snap swivel is very strong only where it curves. I think wire or thinner dyneema equivalent to 400lb mono thickness is a more accurate test.

something happen with the images
user error
Id like to see that last picture in full. -
I been using the same snap swivel from Bass Pro. Its not as heavy duty as some I have seen. I will tell you this though, I have put a tremendous amount of pressure on it. I have put way more pressure than a fish pulling a float. I have been pulled roughly 40ft through the water at fast speeds with Amberjack, Permit, and African Pompano. This one AP felt like a boat was towing me on the surface. I was going that fast. And still the swivel still works fine. I think that is why I don't change swivel styles. Its been working fine for me.
The one Dan posted looks way heavier duty metal than the one i got.

Here is a tip. Dont ever grab your swivel when you are fighting a fish. It will break. Davie lost a shaft like that by putting a tiny bit of pressure on it. It was a corkscrew snap swivel.

Someone would have to be crazy to spend 600 on a gun like that. It's an aluminum railgun that is not even very powerful. If you are spending that money it better be carbon or wooden and custom!

Whoa!!! That was amazing man! 48meters=157feet and volume 8 you did 50m= 164feet...who does that!!?? and you're actually hunting once you get down there. Incredible ability.
Could you give us some info regarding your freediving techniques like breathe ups, training, etc.Thx for sharing!!I hear Memo eats a lot of olives.
-
you have to move the camera a little faster left and right so i can tell. Do that with both FOV (90 and 127) and we can compare.
-
60 fps hopefully will make the camera less shaky looking in 90 FOV. Otherwise 127 FOV will be the one to use.
-
Thanks a lot Dan.
-
For sure, 720 at 60 fps at 90 FOV or 127 FOV
One of those 2 settings for our underwater usage.
-
oops i forgot that setting.
Could you post a video with that setting Dan. Someone said it looks grainy at 90 FOV for some reason.
90 Narrow
127 Medium
170 WIde -

Here's a link for quick firmware update instructions http://spearfishing.world/unde…2-firmware.html#post59387
I didn't get very deep into the functions of the original Hero HD, so some of what I say may be redundant, but here are my first impressions of the HERO2 which are all positive.
I don't know if it's my imagination but the beeping sound for on and start/stop record seems louder. This will make it easier to distinguish underwater.
Flashing record lights all around.
More user friendly display, and intuitive menu.
Easier firmware update procedure.Can someone please tell me at this point which is the best video mode for our purposes. Needless to say it should have no vignetting with the Pursuit flat lens.
the update didnt fix the FOV problem. Best option right now will be the 1080 @ 127 FOV just like the HD1.
