Hi,

I have been playing around with my Samsung s24U and a divevolk housing these last few weeks to see what kind of footage I can get. By default I get washed out colours and I'm getting lost in the ocean of options available :

People usually recommend the black magic app, although it seems more relevant for iPhones. It can't shoot in log and does not have access to all colos spaces.

The standard Samsung app does offer log, but does not allow to switch off AI sharpening or separate shutter lock from ISO.

I have been recommended to play around Motioncam pro, that shoots raw. This will require more post processing, and I have not found any feedback from divers.

And in all those apps, tons of settings to play around with.

Has anyone managed to get some quality video footage with an android phone ? I'd love to hear from you.

Hi @Radar

Great post and definitely very interesting. Where are you shooting? It would be helpful to see a screensnap or a small video clip to be able to see what's happening.

I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max when I've used either my Sealife Sport Diver or DiveVolk Housing and have always been happy with my underwater images and video footage (you can see some footage I've made on my Ocean Visions Photography page on Tik Tok). I've been using DiveVolk weekly or more during the past month here in the UK and have not had a problem with my underwater footage. I've just been using my standard Apple settings. I've heard that UWACAM has been designed specifically for DiveVolk cases, have you tried it?

Also have you reached out to Matthias Lebo at all? He's been using DiveVolk since they started and is an expert in Underwater Videography. He should be able to help you more.

Good luck with the journey and look forward to seeing your footage and hearing how you get on.

Maria
