I agree with tray choice, using GoPro, wet lens and a couple of lights. Better results of course. When I need to shoot a selfie I use tripod, but it's not my habit or practice. Have a nice day

Hi, does anyone know the differences between AOI GR140 ZD PRO version vs the non pro one? Thank you

The rig is almost neutral, slightly negative. After arms and lights proper positioning, the trim is almost good and horizontal and I manage the whole system with only one hand. However, to get the better stability when shooting, I use both hands and the footage quality depends by my hovering. By the way, due to the horizontal cross bar, this solution is huge better than without trigger when using dry gloves. I have another kit without crossbar and trigger is absolutely not necessary to shoot videos with my Gopro 12. Bye, Giacomo

Sorry but it seems that INON GR140 ZD PRO lens is very different from SD model. Can anyone provide a personal review? Thank you

Hi, I've almost the same rig ;-) 2 video lights weefine solar flare 7000. I bought the trigger on AliExpress and I believe its usefuf with dry gloves in cold water

I'm using snapseed for android tablet 4k. It works fine for mobile editing. I'm waiting the latest android software release by Google. It's free.

It seems a good idea and not expensive. It's interesting the way to vary the buoyancy during the dive if I well understood. I usually dive in fresh water and I find a bit difficult to calculate how much reduce the buoyancy in salt / very salt water. Any suggestions are appreciated Bye

Thank you @Nando Diver , i did a lot of trouble with original gopro case, so the new AOI case might be a good alternative. Have a nice year to everybody Bye Giacomo

Why the footage was out of focus?

Hello, I bought a couple of WF solar flare lights, tested at the lake with green color dominant but almost good visibility. The CRI is significantly better than the previous chinese low cost lights, but the kelvin temperature must be set accordingly on the GP 12. I'm satisfied up to now even if miracles do not exist 😉 Bye

Hello @Nando Diver did you try EXPL to lock exposure? I didnt find the command within QRControl app...

Macro is an opportunity not my real goal. I prefer stay close to the target with sharp wide lens. It's easier and ensure good result. When I use macromate mini sometimes I estimate the right focus distance with homemade focus stick but it works with static subjects. I confirm practice is the actual rule of thumb. The AOI housing is definitively out of budget, but O dont want abandon gopro gear. Bye

What an amazing video!! How did you get the right focus distance?

Thank you @bghazzal and @Nikolausz. I was using a couple of chinese very cheap lamps, one of them burned few time ago. A friend of mine is using those lights and I got them during black Friday discount. I wish a more reliable product with constant output above all. My favourite scenario is with wide angle wet lens, close to the subject, so you confirmed the good choice. My opinion soon. Bye P.s. my friend told me that solar flare is more suitable for video, while smart focus for photography.

@bghazzal I decided for a couple of weefine solar flare 7000S. They should be consistent with my video scenarios. Ordered just few minutes ago.

Hello, I continue this thread. I wa looking at a couple of weefine solar flare 7000S. Do you have any comments about that? Is it enough for gopro video? Thank you, Giacomo

I'm oriented to G100 if I consider the focus range much better than G55 even using the focus stick.

Hello everybody, I'm looking at the new Inon's macro/close up wet lens. At the moment I belong backscatter macromate mini, good lens but difficult to use due to the short depth of field which cause difficult getting focus objects. Having in mind performance but easy of use, someone is using INON ucl G55, G100 or G165 lens? The G55 sounds as the better of them as magnification ratio but has a very small depth of field. I look forward to your suggestions. Bye, Giacomo

Hello @Nando Diver . Other question about gopro labs fw. Have you ever tried WBDV command and if yes in which way? Bye Giacomo
