Underwater Gopro filming
 

Hi guys

just after any tips you guys found when filming underwater footage

I had my first crack at underwater filming yesterday and noticed that the housing began to fog up a bit on the inside after being under water a couple of times

it was pissing down with rain when I initially started so thinking maybe due to the warmer water as such compared to the temp out of the water

definitely something I want to do more of that's for sure

thanks in advance for any tips etc guys

cheers

Buy a rubber chamois and cut it into strips that fit both on the bottom and sides (inside) of the housing - these will absorb moisture.

If you can find those small flat moisture absorbers that would be even better - but the chamois will absorb more water god forbid any gets in.

Also you can treat the lense of the gopro and inside of the housing with a anti fog treatment.

I would also suggest that a external filter be used either pink or red depending on depth and clarity (green) of the water.

cheers for the tips slazmo appreciate your tips

yeah the tannin water definitely throws a spanner in the works filming the snags looked like id get ok footage but definitely darker than I was expecting and nothing filmed worth keeping

will be on the hunt for your suggestions this week incase get out again this weekend im feeling a east trip on the cards really really soon and want to have the little things sorted before that trip
