Small camera for video and pics

The Canon S serie and the new G7X don't have sufficient battery life for video. They can barely do a single dive. Entry level video cameras are almost existing from and underwater point of view I wouldn't even bother changing what you have for a newer one

I still haven't purchased camera yet. I have a trip to Truk Lagoon and Philippines in May, I would like to purchase something by then. Has anything new come out that i need to look at? I would like great video and stills and the ability to take macros in video and still mode.

Thanks for all your help. a hard decision to make

I use the ReefNet macro adapter on my Gates AX100 housing and really like it. They likely make one to fit yours: http://reefnet.ca/products/subsee/#adapter

It is a swing-away adapter meaning you can use your rig normally or macro on the same dive - your choice.

Mostly I use their SubSee +10 and like it a lot.

You could keep your present rig and do macro too.

That's Awesome Tom. I guess it would work on my wide angle port. Thanks

Sorry - forgot about which port. I have the adapter for the flat port. Not sure they make one for the WA. If they do, let me know!

I got John Ellerbrock to electronically send the port drawing to Kris Wilk at ReefNet. It was simpler to do by e-mail (for me, anyway) than physically shipping the port, although that should be a good way to get it done also.

I have a feeling the ports may be different - mine is an FP34A for the AX100 housing. I took a quick look and there seems to be at least six different flat ports for Gates housings.

It is different. Mine is a GP32a.

I wanted by this weekend. I guess that won't happen. Lol. That was really the only reason I wanted to change cameras because I need macro capabilities on the fly

I do like mine. At "the Bridge" (Phil Foster State Park) I can flip from manatee or eagle ray to bumblebee shrimp in a few seconds. Really handy.

Hi all,

I have been looking to put a camera on my boat so that I can see into the water on one off the lakes I go on as I would like to see the bottom at about 6ft deep, could anyone advise on a camera that would be able to see into the water in the day or night.

The camera will be fitted to the side on the boat and be powered by two 6v battery so powering it is not a problem.

I will be using a wireless transmitter and reciever back to a video screen to view it all.

Would appreciate any help you could give me.
