For macro play with settings to remove that distortion and use 4K 

Its really difficult to get good stabilisation and focus without tripod in any action camera 

In my opinion, you need tripod for macro videos with any camera

One question -- is the general unshaprness/blurriness of the background (area 2+ meters in front of the camera) here caused by water clarity, or is it the AOI lens limiting the focus range of the Action 5 to a narrower area right in front of the camera with infinity out of focus?

I also observed with GoPro+AOI that the infinity and even subjects 3m away are out focus, which is actually not that bad.
