Thanks @Bio for loading up your clip for us to play with. Downloaded and placed into EDIUS Workgroup, drop the DJI LUT to it, tweaked it some and rendered out. Yes you can download the 4K version from dropbox just like Bio explained. Cheers

Cheers, got it, yep the lens works really well and the 10 bit pops when you CC it. One would of had to spend big bucks to get this quality 20 years ago.

Yes I found too that Rocksteady Wide is the best when using the AOI glass port on the action 4. Will download the raw file too when you get it onto someplace other than icloud. Cheers

Hi, back on land now, here is a test side by side clip, seeing how far I can push the 10bit codec. Action 4 WB set to 5500K Fill light is set to 5600K, had no blue filter on it. The water was green and the vis bad but managed to pull it back. Worse color to shoot underwater is Fluro Pink For a tiny action can it does okay, cheap and easy to travel with. Looking forward to getting into the blue water. Rather happy with the Glass Port or though you have to make sure no particles/bubbles are trapped between camera and port. Cheers.

Hi, I have a single M8000 X-Adventurer, the light gives out a very even spread. Turn it down if not shooting to make it last the dive. There is a remote for it so I plan to get that which will make life bit easier. The one light just about covers the camera's FOV at night. I will most probably get a second one so 16,000 Lumen all up. Used during the day you need to use a blue filter on the light else anything the light hits will be too red if you camera is WB to being on the warm side. Using a filter however kills the light power. Use if with an Action 4 and wide dome port.

Morning, managed a little night dive to test out the gear. Works rather well, the one light nearly covers the full 130 degrees of the port. Such a small compact setup, might get the remote for the light and mount it on the grip. The light will run out of puff if on full power for the full dive. The remote will be easy to drop the power when not shooting subjects. The Glass Port is very nice and makes a huge difference. Hope that helps some if going the OSMO Action 4-5 way. The WB on the camera was set at 5500k, same as I use during the day. Temp of the light is 5600k. Shot in 10 bit D-log M then set it to Rec.709 and added some saturation in post. Cheers

Hi, just did a first dive with it, vis was really bad but the lens did its magic. The only problem with letting the camera auto color correct is it changes all the time while you record a shot. But each to their own. See if I can load this vid from the boat. EDit, manage to get a file loaded.

Always nice to have new toys to play with Rather impressed at the Quality of the glass lens. Messed around with it in the pool day and night, seems Rocksteady - Wide is the best setting. Rocksteady - Ultra wide gives you vignetting out of the water but none once under until you move the camera around, it can show up here and there in a corner. Out of the water the footage is out of focus, lens made for underwater only. In the water you can get very close to subjects. Light is very nice - X Adventure M8000 Float arm helps lots to take some of the negative B away. Think we are out on the boat this week so will get it on some Reef. Cheers.

Mail Lady arrived, quality is very good. Try it out in the pool tonight. Light is 8000 Lumens and got a blue filter for the light.

Another little post. I came across this video of some girl using the port underwater, it grabbed my attention as it looks rather good. Amazing these little camera put out this quality, its better than my old HDV FX1 - Amphibico Phenom underwater housing that I paid $$$ for back in 2005

Morning, well it is where I am @bghazzal Ben, yes the water was rather greenish, WB is either manual or auto. I like to use manual so its not always changing, easy to adjust in post. @gstrek Gary, when its on Horizon Steady, the camera's only option is Standard Dwarp. So that means if the camera is not level, it will level the image itself, great when not looking at the screen when approaching something. I messed around with a few luts, used the official DJI one but ended up using one called "Clouseau 54 Full" then tweaked it. Camera was on 16.9 aspect ratio. The NLE I use is EDIUS Workgroup. Rendered out a 4K Grass Valley HQX 10bit 3.18gig file and straight to YT. @Davide DB Yes watched that vid before, Standard Dwarp is 17mm and no distortion, be interesting to see how it will look through this Glass Port. Agree with all the YT stars, ignore most of them. @ChipBPhoto Cheers, will share more, hopefully in clear water next time. I find filters block light getting in so just keep it clear and CC in post as 10bit holds up well. No colour banding in the water which I hate if you push 8bit too much.

Hi, thought I would start a topic for the little Action 4. Been reading through the other posts about the Gopro's and Insta's. Got the AOI Glass Dome port coming for it so will add info about it as I get it into the water. The Action 4 on super wide mode has way too much distortion when used underwater. To start off here is a little clip I took on a shallow dirty dive, WB set to 5500k and no filter. Had it on Horizon Steady or Level as some call it, so the image stays level, seems to work pretty good. Quite surprised how much I can push the CC, guess that 10 bit helps. Cheers.

Cheers, layout looks bit like Wetpixel's, was some good info on there but they had server go down or something many years back and lost a lot of early stuff.

HI, got one of those AOI UWL-03 PRO ports coming for my little Action 4, will post some more when its arrived. Gave up on Gopro's as every one I have ever owned had problems.

Howdy, looks like a nice forum here, was a big part of Wetpixel back in 2003, gee I must be getting old. Started shooting underwater video with Hi 8 then went to Mini DV then to HDV, O.. how that was so high tech back then. Also had the Nikon D70 digital SLR in an housing..., massive 6megs back then lol Now I got a little Action 4 for now Cheers Wags
