Just a Oslofjord dive to test the Nikon ZR and SeaFrogs-housing

Featured Replies

Just some footage from the dark Oslofjord/Norway. Nothing spectacular or impressive, but was testing my new Nikon ZR with a Nikkor Z 17-28mm in a SeaFrogs aluminium housing. Happy with the setup.

Today I was struggling with the balance of the camera, since I made it neutral in the nearest harbor, where there was a lot of more fresh water than where we had the dive. So the housing was too positive. Also the balance was not too good, since the dome port was too light compared to the rest of the rig.

I was not too familiar with the focus controls, so I had some out of focus shots - and some shots with questionable autofocus...

Took it in 4K/50fps in R3DLog (Red Raw). The files got humongous. But who cares with todays memory card prices.. 🤪

This was just a quick and dirty edit, but I was impressed of how much I could adjust the footage. A great step up from the Panasonic GH4.

Since it is autumn, the dives in the future will probably be more macro dives, so looking forward to test it with the 105mm. If anyone has tested the 105mm, do you have any recommendations for a diopter for it? I am only shooting video.
