Thanks 💖

And finally, I got the complete video

Fast releases are just a way of milking more money most of the times, after a bit of innovation, they are going to copy GoPro with minimal update with annual model...

This is a youtube shorts, and youtube shorts accept only 9:16 I am uploading the same video on Instagram, youtube, tikTok and facebook in reel format. I will upload a longer 16:9 video only on youtube when it will be ready, i am doing it piece by piece

Start to post again! Sorry if feels spammy, but I need it as an objective to keep editing, and appreciate a lot your observation, suggestions and critique 😁

For the inon lens, the system is a screw on solution, like this:

- @Gmsalterego Ask for a good, powerful and hopefully not very expensive video lamp: - @Elvandar : Suggest a cheap ass torch, not that bad (45€) - @Wags & @Proteus: Suggest a really good torch but (~600€+) @Gmsalterego give us your budget and what you consider "not very expensive" 😆 By the way, all my video on my youtube, are shot with GoPro 11/12 and those 45€ torch, so if you are not a professional, or really into the hobby, you don't need to spend too much to get an ok result. But if you go for a 600€ source of light because you like taking video, you should maybe consider to change also the camera 😁 But also, I should not question these decision, as i bought almost 1000€ in wet lens for my gopro 🙃

I use 2 of these Wurkkos DL07 torch : Torcia elettrica anfibia Wurkkos DL07 For night dives, where they are my only source of light, I love them, and also when you have to go into macro, or smaller subject. For wider shot, I would not recommend them, you will most likely need to spend more. PRO: -Cheap -Last two 1h dives without problem -They need just one 26650 battery, so you can buy two, and swap between dives (they cost ~5€ each) -Good 120 degree light angle -Small and weight only ~300 grams, perfect for travel -Ball head included in the package -Feels solid -Have also Red, Ultraviolet and SpotLight mode CONS: -Useless on wider scene or if there is too much light (but to overcome these problem, i think you need to spend a lot on light) -People will thanks you a lot for blinding them underwater 😅 -The magnetic ring that control wich mode you use, sometimes is hard to turn Here a night dive where my source of light was them (and a bit of torch from my buddys):

@Luko google translate will work for me, thanks!

Today arrived the first piece of the solution i want to try, the joby 5k pro legs, this is what i am working with for now: Feels super stable. In the next days I'll receive the ball head and try it with all the gear on, but for now i am happy Pro: super stable, it could support way more weight on land, and even more underwater (future upgrade to a camera) Cons: My GoPro lost again a bit of portability 😅 At least i am happy that i got a ball head with quick release, so i can remove the tripod legs also underwater really fast, while being securely attached the rest of the time

This was the G55, but as Humu noticed, being a super macro, have two problem to consider: Every small movement of the camera, will be enlarged on the video, that's why I decided to buy a tripod and try this way. Another aspect of the G55, Is the depth of field that is just from 4.8 to 6.2 cm (1.9 - 2.4 In), so you need to go really intimate with your subject. When you are able to overcome these 2 problem, it gives you footage from your GoPro, that I would never have think possible. G100 is a bit easier and forgiving, having a DOF from 7 to 15.2 cm (2.8 - 6 In) but also has a lager fov of 90°, while the G55 has 45°. This fov difference, allow the G55 to have a 2x zoom Vs the G100. For this video, I used the G165, that lose another 2x Vs the G100, but is even easier to use (10 - 35 cm) because the subject was big enough (10 cm~) and I did not had time to change the lens, because my guide literally came back free diving to take me out of the water 😂 I made him a bit angry, I had to offer a drink 🫣

Yes @PeterN, all thanks to the Inon wet lens I use the G140, G165 and G55

Initially I mistaken it for a leopard flounder, but while editing I saw the absence of the fin, and I am pretty sure now that it is a Moses sole Can someone confirm? 😬

We are planning for August 2025 a trip in Madagascar, in the Nosy Be Island, and I would much appreciate suggestion or trip report if someone has already went there!
