I used a GoPro 5 without a Supersuit snorkeling in Mexico for 1 month last year and no filter with not bad images and no problems. I was careful to inspect the seals each time. Two months later in Jamaica, first time snorkeling my camera leaked and was destroyed. I have since had the camera replaced, but I will never risk water damage again without a Supersuit. I appreciate your filter advice and look forward to trying one. Thanks for your great videos.

Thank you. Great explanation and great takeaway on underwater filters ...

Welcome Back and Happy New Years. 👊🏽

Thank you for posting. I felt pretty stupid not knowing to take the lense off for the supersuit. I have been using Polarpro for wakeboarding footage. Excited to get some dive footage

wow, totally new to underwater filters! Thanks for that clear video!!!! well done!

Thanks for the vid brother, cant wait to test one out fishing!

I have a gopro hero 5 dive case (aka waterproof upto 60m) and i just leave it on constantly as the hero 5's screen and lens smash really easy so i just keep the case on and its saved my gopro at least 3 times, and due to the trible mics even with the case the audio is still better than all of the other gopro's

thanks for posting, this maes a little more sense now. What do you recommend for night shots under water? does the same filter rule apply?

another thing I noticed is if you add a second clear plastic cover without removing the lens cover, my motocross footage does seem to get hazier.

What were your settings for the GoPro underwater, recently just got one, would love the great shoot you got.

Thank you for that information.. I really need to know more

Have you tried the Flip5 packages? Switching lenses without having to fumble with actually remove the lens while diving would be extremely handy. You can even have a 35mm adapter and macro lens.

+Chris Olson the flip5 looks really cool! I like the way it easily go from shooting with the red filter to with out it by just flipping turn lense out of the way

The super suit is helpful because when you put the bare GoPro underwater, the water activates the touch screen often changing modes on you or entering into settings or other nonsense. Of course, you can lock the menu before entering the water but that limits your options while submerged.

Love the video and all the tips but I need help as I have a gopro hero 7 silver. Can you tell me what waterhouse casing and underwater lens that will work for the silver? Gopro says the supersuit wont work with the silver and only for the black.

Thanks for the info, looking to order the PolarPro's. Do you know if they would fit the GoPro Hero entry level?

I will be going to Hawaii and I have bought a hero 7 black can you tell me which case i should get and which filter red or green i will be scuba diving in Kauai

I not see a clearly different between use a red filter & no filter.. Did you have another comparation ?

Would you need a filter like these in muddy (brown tinted) water such as a fresh water lake?

Can i solve the blue color cast problem just on post processing on white balance? Is it similar to use a red filter?

Hi ,I’m hoping you can help me , I am going to Hawaii in January , I plan on doing some snorkeling,not very deep , I have a basic GoPro Hero , does not come out of the water proof housing , I have purchased three different filters , one is the GoPro filter ,none seem to fit my Hero . Do you know if there is a red snorkel filter ,any brand ,that will fit , I have looked and looked and can’t seem to find any answers ,thanks

So I’m heading to Bermuda on Sunday and I’m going scuba diving. How will I find out the water color in Bermuda? I tried searching but get mixed answers

Do you place the filter dry or put water between case and filter?

Which aftermarket housing are you using here?

what about sony FX3000 any good. Would you still get gopro

hi, do you have the part number for the gopro red filter for the super suit hero 7 , thanks

Is a Hoya 25a Red filter suitable for underwater shots with 7 black?

i bought an unoriginal case with a filter included. It works awesome. My question is is there filters for outside of the water?

Hi there, I'm a newbie in gopro. I've just got myself a gopro 6 with super suit and some filters. I appreciate if you can advise me if I should use only red filter and not other colors? What resolution and at what fps should I be using for 40m dive( day light, blueish water and water visibility is about 20 to 25m)?

@timoketonen

Blue tropical waters use the red filter but beware any cheap "noname" red filters - totally rubbish and you just waste your footage. Only trust good brands like Magic or PolarPro- Attach red filter only after 5m depth or so - otherwise orange and red glares. Resolution depends on your needs. For facebook footage 720p and 50fps is totally fine. In KZread/Vimeo you might want to use full 1086p and 30-50ftp. Remember, higher the fps and more light gopro requires. In dark waters use lower fps to avoid "pixelaration". * Avoid superwide setting since makes the image distorted.

What you should have say is that the GoPro camera stop working about 5 meters depth and that did screw me up. My housing was at home!

Gopro said that the red filter dosent fit to the super suit.. How yours fits?

I shoot underwater using red filter as you told but images are veeeery red at home (hero 7) what should I do?

Is water supposed to go between the filter and the supersuit?

Can't you just white balance it in post instead of putting on and off filters?

@KazCanning

5 жыл бұрын

Probably not. White balance works well with raw photography, but video is generally compressed and lacks a lot of information that you would be able to accurately white balance in post. You would save yourself a ton of time and get a better end product if you get the filter and get good footage out of the camera.

Its a shame they dont sell it with the supersuite included like in the old days. The gopro hustle goes on....

Can I use a super suit when snorkelling or is the (polarpro) filter too red, meaning the directly attached filter will look better? I just feel safer with the super suit attached. I won't be deep at all

I have posted a few photos from different trips I have been on here: imgur.com/a/bDZUo the first should show you that if you want to take photos of people just under the water there is no need for a red filter. The next two show a comparison with and without a red filter at 15ft. There is a photo taken from the surface looking down to about 10ft which shows how around the surface you may not need the filter and there is a comparison shot between no filter and a software filter snorkeling. If I was in your position I would be getting a red filter to go on the supersuit. They are not that much money and I think it will help you take better photos and video. Plus it is super easy to take off for above the water shots or if you find it is really not needed.

But don’t modern cameras have white balance to counter the blue shift under water?

Do not buy a cheap "noname" chinese red filters! They are just peace of plastic. Won't work! I'm afraid your video is gone unless you captured with Protune being able to adjust whitebalance and colours by post processing.

good video with good explanations... but on the video footage, I kinda like the ones more that were shot without a filter.... Maybe I'm weird :) EDIT: okay, now I've watched another video with longer footage, and here, most of the time I prefer the red filter version. watch?v=Q2QURbjRqbo So maybe I'm not that weird after all! ^^

Why not just color grade the footage...?

another disadvantage of placing the whole camera in the aftermarket knockoff is that you're shooting through 2 layers of lens protector, which reduces your image quality.

i’m a bit confused, if i have lightroom and photoshop do i still need to use the red filter cause my intuition tells me it decreases the light stops and definitely will affect the quality of the image since it’s plastic

@kylemartin101

I am see how you could be confused. If you shoot RAW photos only you can get by without a red filter. If you want to shoot video or photos which require less editing you NEED a red filter. Yes you will be shooting through more lense but this dagrigation is not nearly as bad as the added benefit of having the color correct. The problem is that without a red filter there is not enough color information in the JPG photos and .MP4 video files to correct. You need the filter to get the camera to capture all the colors.
