Yes its with dive housing + red filter. Some parts it looks blurry because gopro focal length or my hands are shaky xD first timer using gopro underwater. All my macro shots with it couldn't be used.

Yeah I didn't post process the colours. Not really sure how to. Still learning.

Thanks

Will try it out ^^

Do you have the LCD screen too? Else its super hard to frame your shots >.<

Since you have the LCD screen I would also suggest not to use the touchscreen backdoor while you go for your snorkeling. Needless to say scuba diving definitely a big NO for the touchscreen backdoor. I've read cases of water leaking into the camera using the touchscreen backdoor and there goes the camera. No warranty from GoPro for water damage. Use the hardcase backdoor that comes with the LCD Safe better than sorry.

About framing shots... I'm not really experienced but I would suggest during boat rides take video from low angle beside the boat when its travelling. The water splashes are pretty cool. Also, POV shots of jumping into the sea or 3rd person view of people jumping into the sea would be pretty cool too.

I need more ideas of shots too. Feel free to share. xD

Don't expect much on long hour recordings from GoPro. It's one of their downfall. Continuous recording could only last about 45minutes to 1hour give or take. Their battery bacpac could extend the recording time but personally I feel it's a waste of money to get that since the bacpac battery is not interchangeable.

Regarding low light recording, the HERO3 Black is pretty good at it from some comparison videos I see online.



Awesome view~!

What I mean is you cannot remove the battery inside the new (black color) gopro battery bacpac. Unlike the older version of the battery bacpac (grey color) which we could remove the battery and or charge the battery by itself.

So instead of having double recording hours every time (1st recording 2 hours > 2nd recording replace both camera battery and bacpac battery and have another 2 hours), now the only option is double recording once and single the next (1st recording 2 hours > replace camera battery and the battery bacpac you'll have to take and charge > so remains 1 hour to record).

Unless you get 2 battery bacpac. Which is quite expensive.

If missing some recording in interval is fine then might as well get 2-3 batteries and change rather than a battery bacpac.

I hope you get what I mean cos it's very hard to explain



it doesn't work on hero3? that sux.

Like DarkEmotion88 said, it doesn't work with powerbank (not sure bout AC power) HERO3. I never tried before though. I'm HERO2 user

Haha! It's all about the moneh $_$

2 new features? Interesting! Do share when you get back.



OMG Triggerfish! Awesome~



everyone's problem with GoPro is the battery life
The suction cup is strong but still too many factors could affect it's performance. Not safe to use without tether. Pity. Gone just like that. Get a new one

I've read of issues like that too. Guess I'll stick with HERO2. But I'm looking for an upgrade. Any alternative brands?

Care to share where the parcel come from?

Wow... I wonder how the warranty goes Pretty good deal from Lazada. Thanks for sharing

Extionhd is selling at RM388 according to their website. Link Here

The serial number doesn't start with DE. I'm sure you looked at the wrong place. The serial number is at the battery compartment. Something like H3B+Bxxxxxxxx.
