go pro Dive housing

Recommended Posts

Anyone know if is worth to get the dive housing? the go pro website claims the flat surface of the lens will give more flatten image but it doesn't say if the dive housing has a filter that will improve the underwater pictures (without external lights used) if you had tried to shoot video of pics with th go pro pass 20 ft depending on water conditions the video logically comes out greenish, does this housing fix this ???

I realize this is a skydive photography, save the sarcasm if you have nothing to contribute, most of us do all kinds of activities and this forum does happen to have very knowledgeable ppl in it

Huge difference.

It's also the reason that the GoPro3 has a flat front housing. Getting good focus underwater with a round faced lens is non-doable. I have a Eye-of-Mine housing for my GP1 and now I have a GP3 which makes that unnecessary.

Hope that helps!

Thanks it does help.

I also lookd into those rage kits and is not worth the price better to buy the dive housing and I also pick up a filter for $14. I think I am set for this weekends trip to scuba in Bahamas.

I always hated that blurred video that the old housing give.
