Regarding the alleged fringing problem of the Pana 8 mm fisheye on Oly bodies, we should make sure to update the camera and lens firmware to the latest version.

If I really want to find a flaw, it is in the cable connector that sticks out on the left like a unicorn and can hit the float arm. It depends on how you mount it. Anyway, once in the water, in real use it turned out to be a non-issue for me. Keep in mind that in 3 meters of water in summer with full sun, I use it at a maximum of 30% brightness. Great battery life. Underwater, it weights only 250g so it's easy to manage.

New Weefine 5" pro monitor. Ive been using it since December and it's really well made.

I don't really count because in the Mediterranean I do deep dives using only artificial lights. I could have used the red filter in my last project, which I did entirely at 3 meters, and I regretted not using it. Anyway, if you dive with natural light, I absolutely recommend using a good one along MWB. We have a long and detailed article on theory and practice. If you also use lights and find yourself in what is called mixed light, the article covers that too. @bghazzal is the Jedi od this technique.

A friend of mine was using the OG WWL-1 on it with great results.

Hi Tim, All dive shops in Rome, in agreement with the customer who bought the mask, mark the upper limit of the lens to be applied on the mask glass and then send it to Ottica Berti, specifying the correction. The shop has the lenses, glues them on, and sends it back.

Comfort e visione chiara sott'acqua con soluzioni su misura per i tuoi sport acquatici.(Linked Page is about whole prescriprion mask but they also apply the correction lens in the lower part of the glass) In my opinion, if you send an email, they will do it for you without any problems. Alternatively, if you want a Cressi Occhio, I can buy it for you from my trusted shop, do all the work, and ship it to you. If you like, I can let you know the total cost.

I haven't checked anything online, but I believe this is the question that all underwater accessory manufacturers for GoPros will have to answer and probably they are working on it already. Mainly Inon and AOI. Will the wide and macro wet lenses be able to cover the 1" sensor? AOI had just introduced that universal housing with the interchangeable internal camera template. Will it be able to fit the new GoPro Mission 1?

Hi Paul, Honestly, the best starting point is right on the Blackmagic Design website. Their official training section has free dedicated video lessons just for the Color Page. You can even download the Colorist Guide PDF along with the original media files so you can practice on the exact same clips they use. For YouTube channels that show real industry workflows: Cullen Kelly or Darren Mostyn. their tutorials are very technical and professional. But if you need something a bit more accessible, Casey Faris is great for beginners and intermediate users. But I agree with you, underwater color grading is indeed an entirely different discipline. Water acts as a massive cyan filter that selectively absorbs light. Most generic underwater tutorials fail because they simply push the temperature slider towards orange. This breaks the image by introducing artificial color noise into channels that contain zero actual data. When dealing with 10-bit Log files shot underwater, you have enough data depth to rebuild the image, but you need a specific approach rather than standard primary wheels. Usually I get that magenta fringe while trying to remove the green. What happens is actually color math. Magenta is the exact opposite of green on the color wheel, so when you use the global tint slider to subtract the green, the software automatically pushes the entire image toward magenta. Because your underwater footage is already missing all that red information, this adjustment will not give you a neutral white balance. It just ends up turning your background water purple. Another thing to keep in mind is that relying on the primary temperature and tint wheels will often just break the image. Instead, open the curves panel and use the Hue vs Hue curve. Select the specific green wavelength of the water and shift that point slightly toward blue. This changes the green cast into a standard water color without bleeding magenta into the rest of the frame. You can also use the Color Warper for this, which lets you do really precise vector manipulation without messing up your global white balance. Just grab the control points in the green and cyan regions and pull them directly toward the blue region to neutralize the green. Hope this helps. Ciao

As I wrote, I bet PD is completely unnecessary once you have rhe internal battery and you don't need a huge powerbank to double or triple runtime

I could be wrong but from the photo it seems it's a plastic/metal mix construction while the MF version is totally metal.

A normal PCB is few mm long and maybe 1or 2 mm high. You have a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room inside there :) You could probably go with an off the shelf mini powerbank. I agree with Chris and if I may, I will share my experience with the GH5M2, which has a USB-C port and whose manual states the need for a USB-PD charger etc, and all the comments on Reddit indicated the need for specific chargers to work. I did two very simple tests at home with what I had. A 10y old, small, completely normal power bank connected with the camera battery inserted. It works perfectly. The same thing with an old Samsung phone charger. One of those 1.5Ah@5V ones. With a very small power bank, I got more than 3 hours of continuous recording. Basically, I filled up the card. I also tried the All-I 400Mbps codec and it works. The necessary current is supplied by the internal battery, and the power bank recharges it. The same thing also works with GoPros, which are much more difficult and picky with the input current. The trick is always the internal battery. I used them for long timelapses or for long recordings in the river. A 18650 + GoPro battery allow up to 4h 30m of runtime at 4k@25p with a high bitrate. The exact same thing happens in both the GH5 and the GoPro. You will see that the charging symbol is active and the battery stays at 100% while the power bank drains into it. When the power bank is exhausted, the battery starts to drain. TL;DR Just try on your kitchen table with a normal power bank.
