Need advice for DJI5pro and GoPro

[Luca]

Hello there,

this topic is related to the DJI5pro and GoPro 11 action cameras. If somebody could help me out here with some recommendations or tips would be really appreciated.

So basically Im shooting my videos with an GoPro 11 without any lens or filter. Furthermore I used red filters but was really disappointed because all the videos being way to redish.

Now Im looking to buy the AOI or Backscatter sharp wide lens. But Im also looking to buy the DJI5pro. So here comes the thing. I met plenty divers showing me unedited videos from their DJI5pro and the videos on YT are also looking ver very good compared to the greenish GoPro videos.

I definetly want to take the advantages of an wide lens but now I also saw many post here that the DJI doesnt really work with the wide lens because the edges were looking very bad.

On top of that the Backscatter GoPro lens mount offers red filters which the AOI doesnt offer.

Is there also a huge diffrent between the INON, AOI and BackScatter 140 degree wet wide lens?

So does someone have experience with those models or has recommendations for me. 

Getting the DJI5pro with lens or getting the mount, lens and red filter from backscatter. I have really no clue what the best solution is so maybe you guys can help me out what would be really appreciated. 

And even having trouble with the redish videos from the filter, with an red filter the post production is a lot better/easier, right?

In the following I attatched some photos from the products mentioned.

Thanks in advance, Luca 🙂

Ive being following very close the dji forum about OA5 Pro on the last 3 months and is not finished product, the camera have the same bugs since the launch date and users are being used has beta testers. 

Youtube reviewers & some influencers dont properly test the camera or they are paid to do it.

 

Theres some exceptions like this guy on the video Chris Rogers & also DCRainmaker (this one i follow for years) 

 

With gopro 11 you can maximize the camera Potencial using the firmware gopro labs, increase bitrate, lock white balance or use 8:7 aspect ratio.

 

I dont like filters and i dont recommend them, lights underwater makes all the difference.

AOI lens are cheaper 

Backscatter lens has possibility to use red filter, but the distance between the lens and camera you will get vignette.

 

AOI & INON lens are specifically made for gopro and dont have any of distortion.

The larger FOV from OA5 PRO + wide lens still have distortion on corner/sides.

 

show me some YouTube links from your buddy divers that are posting good unedited videos about OA5PRO underwater...im curious to see it. 😃

My advice to your gopro 11

 

Install FW pro labs gopro 

Permanent QR code for WB lock in specific profile (it locks WB 1 second after start recording) 

Permanent QR CODE for Bitrate up to 170MBs 

 

8:7 Aspect ratio.. this will give you the best flexibility for 16:9 or 9:16

10bit 

4K 

 

If you intent to edit your filming, match your gopro 11 with GP-LOG from the 12
