Thank you. Great explanation and great takeaway on underwater filters ...

@arizonareeltrailz9370 5 лет назад

Thanks for the vid brother, cant wait to test one out fishing!

@terrimoore5043 5 лет назад

I used a GoPro 5 without a Supersuit snorkeling in Mexico for 1 month last year and no filter with not bad images and no problems. I was careful to inspect the seals each time. Two months later in Jamaica, first time snorkeling my camera leaked and was destroyed. I have since had the camera replaced, but I will never risk water damage again without a Supersuit. I appreciate your filter advice and look forward to trying one. Thanks for your great videos.

@homevid 5 лет назад

wow, totally new to underwater filters! Thanks for that clear video!!!! well done!

@saeedalsaadi8661 5 лет назад

Thank you for that information.. I really need to know more

@lindseyt826 5 лет назад

Thank you for posting. I felt pretty stupid not knowing to take the lense off for the supersuit. I have been using Polarpro for wakeboarding footage. Excited to get some dive footage

@Feintgames 5 лет назад

The super suit is helpful because when you put the bare GoPro underwater, the water activates the touch screen often changing modes on you or entering into settings or other nonsense. Of course, you can lock the menu before entering the water but that limits your options while submerged.

@Louie9000 6 лет назад

I have a gopro hero 5 dive case (aka waterproof upto 60m) and i just leave it on constantly as the hero 5's screen and lens smash really easy so i just keep the case on and its saved my gopro at least 3 times, and due to the trible mics even with the case the audio is still better than all of the other gopro's

@r-monsolace2630 6 лет назад

Welcome Back and Happy New Years. 👊🏽

@kylemartin101 6 лет назад

Thanks

@mxgryan 5 лет назад

another thing I noticed is if you add a second clear plastic cover without removing the lens cover, my motocross footage does seem to get hazier.

@Veronica0418 5 лет назад

What were your settings for the GoPro underwater, recently just got one, would love the great shoot you got.

@crizo23 6 лет назад

Have you tried the Flip5 packages? Switching lenses without having to fumble with actually remove the lens while diving would be extremely handy. You can even have a 35mm adapter and macro lens.

@kylemartin101 6 лет назад

+Chris Olson the flip5 looks really cool! I like the way it easily go from shooting with the red filter to with out it by just flipping turn lense out of the way

@blueman841 5 лет назад

thanks for posting, this maes a little more sense now. What do you recommend for night shots under water? does the same filter rule apply?

@NickJunglefever 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info, looking to order the PolarPro's. Do you know if they would fit the GoPro Hero entry level?

@westwizard89 5 лет назад

Love the video and all the tips but I need help as I have a gopro hero 7 silver. Can you tell me what waterhouse casing and underwater lens that will work for the silver? Gopro says the supersuit wont work with the silver and only for the black.

@1lifestudios108 5 лет назад

thanks dude

@stevegil3493 5 лет назад

I will be going to Hawaii and I have bought a hero 7 black can you tell me which case i should get and which filter red or green i will be scuba diving in Kauai

@OutbreakNR360 5 лет назад

So I’m heading to Bermuda on Sunday and I’m going scuba diving. How will I find out the water color in Bermuda? I tried searching but get mixed answers

@RC2V6 5 лет назад

Can i solve the blue color cast problem just on post processing on white balance? Is it similar to use a red filter?

@chasebutler2665 3 года назад

Would you need a filter like these in muddy (brown tinted) water such as a fresh water lake?

@kendean4488 6 лет назад

Hi ,I’m hoping you can help me , I am going to Hawaii in January , I plan on doing some snorkeling,not very deep , I have a basic GoPro Hero , does not come out of the water proof housing , I have purchased three different filters , one is the GoPro filter ,none seem to fit my Hero . Do you know if there is a red snorkel filter ,any brand ,that will fit , I have looked and looked and can’t seem to find any answers ,thanks

@juliozayas3780 5 лет назад

Do you place the filter dry or put water between case and filter?

@JPNHome 5 лет назад

What you should have say is that the GoPro camera stop working about 5 meters depth and that did screw me up. My housing was at home!

@Helloworldwrjfjrjrj 5 лет назад

what about sony FX3000 any good. Would you still get gopro

@TheTBull8 6 лет назад

Which aftermarket housing are you using here?

@DarkstarDarth 5 лет назад

Is a Hoya 25a Red filter suitable for underwater shots with 7 black?

@vegas3535 5 лет назад

hi, do you have the part number for the gopro red filter for the super suit hero 7 , thanks

@omerdaniel 5 лет назад

Gopro said that the red filter dosent fit to the super suit.. How yours fits?

@federicoCiao00 6 лет назад

i bought an unoriginal case with a filter included. It works awesome. My question is is there filters for outside of the water?

@ryan1114 6 лет назад

G4sp_ polarized filters

@luiskantek 3 года назад

I shoot underwater using red filter as you told but images are veeeery red at home (hero 7) what should I do?

@strigon46 2 года назад

Is water supposed to go between the filter and the supersuit?

@Krisstems 5 лет назад

Its a shame they dont sell it with the supersuite included like in the old days. The gopro hustle goes on....

@baldiebroedc8875 6 лет назад

Hi there, I'm a newbie in gopro. I've just got myself a gopro 6 with super suit and some filters. I appreciate if you can advise me if I should use only red filter and not other colors? What resolution and at what fps should I be using for 40m dive( day light, blueish water and water visibility is about 20 to 25m)?

@timoketonen 5 лет назад

Blue tropical waters use the red filter but beware any cheap "noname" red filters - totally rubbish and you just waste your footage. Only trust good brands like Magic or PolarPro- Attach red filter only after 5m depth or so - otherwise orange and red glares. Resolution depends on your needs. For facebook footage 720p and 50fps is totally fine. In RU-vid/Vimeo you might want to use full 1086p and 30-50ftp. Remember, higher the fps and more light gopro requires. In dark waters use lower fps to avoid "pixelaration". * Avoid superwide setting since makes the image distorted.

@MangOeChannel 4 года назад

I not see a clearly different between use a red filter & no filter.. Did you have another comparation ?

@fezzes428 6 лет назад

how do you hold your gopro? mask mount or do you just hold it? i freedive so im looking for new mounting tips

@niepowiemkto3898 6 лет назад

I Wear A Fez Now if you are freediving i would reccomend you bite mount if scuba diving mask mount

@fezzes428 6 лет назад

Nie powiem kto yeah bite looks like the best but i wear braces so my mouth gets numb if i use a bite mount. i use a monopod for freediving and scubadiving, i get really good shots

@MrPaul-sf6cg 4 года назад

But don’t modern cameras have white balance to counter the blue shift under water?

@leocasi405 2 года назад

The GoPro filter doesnt fit on the GoPro 9 protective housing.

@onurtumer8112 6 лет назад

Can't you just white balance it in post instead of putting on and off filters?

@KazCanning 6 лет назад

Probably not. White balance works well with raw photography, but video is generally compressed and lacks a lot of information that you would be able to accurately white balance in post. You would save yourself a ton of time and get a better end product if you get the filter and get good footage out of the camera.

@willowdpillow9806 4 года назад

My GoPro 6 have water leakage and I was just snorkeling. I don’t think it’s waterproof at all. Be safe and get a case

@isabellagonzalezleggs2235 4 года назад

Go on amazon an look for kit for GoPro

@noeldillabough2153 6 лет назад

Can I use a super suit when snorkelling or is the (polarpro) filter too red, meaning the directly attached filter will look better? I just feel safer with the super suit attached. I won't be deep at all

@kylemartin101 6 лет назад

I have posted a few photos from different trips I have been on here: imgur.com/a/bDZUo the first should show you that if you want to take photos of people just under the water there is no need for a red filter. The next two show a comparison with and without a red filter at 15ft. There is a photo taken from the surface looking down to about 10ft which shows how around the surface you may not need the filter and there is a comparison shot between no filter and a software filter snorkeling. If I was in your position I would be getting a red filter to go on the supersuit. They are not that much money and I think it will help you take better photos and video. Plus it is super easy to take off for above the water shots or if you find it is really not needed.

@noeldillabough2153 6 лет назад

Fantastic info, thanks!

@MundoMahalo 5 лет назад

HELP PLEASE!! I went to Thailand and got a filter before going to dive. All my diving videos got super red!! Is there any chance I can repair them? I got some footage of turtles, sharks and nice memories which now they look just creepy red...

@timoketonen 5 лет назад

Do not buy a cheap "noname" chinese red filters! They are just peace of plastic. Won't work! I'm afraid your video is gone unless you captured with Protune being able to adjust whitebalance and colours by post processing.

@hayden4686 6 лет назад

I’m surprised PolarPro lenses aren’t glass. They are known for their exceptional glass lense filters

@bawatka6722 5 лет назад

I have original super suite and my red filter doesn't fit. I try everything and it is too small. Why? Everything I've got is original GoPro for Hero 5 Black.

@lukeazverde3662 5 лет назад

Mariola Blawat there are 2 different filters, one for the super suit and one that goes on without the super suit

@BHarrisDesign 6 лет назад

another disadvantage of placing the whole camera in the aftermarket knockoff is that you're shooting through 2 layers of lens protector, which reduces your image quality.

@kylemartin101 6 лет назад

this is a very good point!

@Michael_00001 6 лет назад

Kinda like adding a filter? lol

@PatrickGuerrisi 5 лет назад

@@Michael_00001 but then you have 3 layers and filters are usually cleaner

@theclappingboy5603 3 года назад

what filter does it remove green color underwater/ red yellow orange

@theclappingboy5603 3 года назад

the camera is hero 7

@RedRoverOver99 5 лет назад

Why not just color grade the footage...?

@AliansaHolding 5 лет назад

It is possible to go in watter without cases?! Its waterproof?

@Cake... 5 лет назад

Don't risk it

@timoketonen 5 лет назад

ALWAYS USE a UW-CASE! I have flooded 2 cameras (Canon and Panasonic) in 1m depth that should have been waterproof till 10 meters - never again!

@GGShinobi77 5 лет назад

good video with good explanations... but on the video footage, I kinda like the ones more that were shot without a filter.... Maybe I'm weird :) EDIT: okay, now I've watched another video with longer footage, and here, most of the time I prefer the red filter version. watch?v=Q2QURbjRqbo So maybe I'm not that weird after all! ^^

same here, already watched the video, thanks!

Cheapest case get cheap button without any protection so in longer, you can broke your camera button… why no one speak about that ? I dont know what to buy, GoPro suck with this lens removing but they give the best case for protect your camera in longer…

@subseeker 6 лет назад

I went with SJCam, more bang for the buck, the same quality.

@muzzshah9730 6 лет назад

i use sjcam as well..but when i use the red filter..the whole footage turn red...it was frustrating...do you have any tips ?

@butchpouka 6 лет назад

i’m a bit confused, if i have lightroom and photoshop do i still need to use the red filter cause my intuition tells me it decreases the light stops and definitely will affect the quality of the image since it’s plastic

@kylemartin101 6 лет назад

I am see how you could be confused. If you shoot RAW photos only you can get by without a red filter. If you want to shoot video or photos which require less editing you NEED a red filter. Yes you will be shooting through more lense but this dagrigation is not nearly as bad as the added benefit of having the color correct. The problem is that without a red filter there is not enough color information in the JPG photos and .MP4 video files to correct. You need the filter to get the camera to capture all the colors.

Are all GoPro's water proof??

@emilanwander8016 5 лет назад

All GoPros up to the Hero 4 Silver/Black need a case, but they are water proof up to 40meters. GoPro Hero 5/6/7 are waterproof without case up to 10 meters

@timoketonen 5 лет назад

And even they are ALWAYS USE a UW-CASE! I have flooded 2 cameras (Canon and Panasonic) in 1m depth that should have been waterproof till 10 meters - never again!
