    thank you for the video. i have a question, for the best underwater setting with an action camera, what kind of tray and dive light do you recommend? do you have a single hand tray (with dive light connector) that you can recommend?

    I'll link the action cam tray I have, it's great www.backscatter.com/Backscatter-Wide-Double-Handle-and-Tray As for lights, I'm currently working on a review of the lights I currently use, which pair really well with action cams. Will be out soon 😁

    I moved from the Gopro 10 to Osmo action 4. Apart from the lack of third party lens support for Osmo 4, that could make you stay with Gopro. I find the Osmo better colour and easier to use. The Insta 360 is a 8 bit colour camera, it can not compete with colour grading compared to a 10 bit camera. The Osmo 4 in shallow water using standard colour is good and I use for entry and exit shots. Anything under water that's deeper then I use log. In the video above, its not clear of the settings. Correct colour settings have a significant effect. The sample video doesn't really reflect my experience with the Osmo 4. I'd say the Osmo shots on the sample video seem lack luster. compare to a video on tube here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWmo1ZV9Zdm7crQ.html

    Lack of lens support is killing me. I also had the GP10 before. Thanks for sharing your experience using the OM4! They are honestly both great cameras. I'd love for the Ace Pro to have 10 bit & log support, but not so much so for underwater. Let me explain. We tend to choose LOG for a couple of reasons; Either due to the dynamic range of the scene we are trying to capture or to give us a more neutral starting point in post. When it comes to dynamic range, on average there's about 8 stops underwater. A far cry from the 16+ stops we capture on land under various lighting scenarios. The standard (or similar) picture profile on most cameras will capture 8+ stops. And while LOG does create a more neutral image, it doesn't pick up more colors than other picture profiles. Comes down to how (or how much) you like to grade in the end. However you can run into banding issues even when shooting in 10 bit, but that's mostly when visibility goes to shit in the deep. As I mentioned in the video, I shoot both cameras with recommended settings. Rec.709 lut on the OM4 footage. Neither camera receives any color correction except for the few times mentioned. Could I push this footage more in post? Oh absolutely. Both cameras! But in the interest of a comparison video, I wanted to do just that, compare.

  • @AquaticImages
    @AquaticImagesАй бұрын

    Many things can affect visibility in Similans. I'd say the moon is more likely to cause currents, especially leading up to and after full moon. This can in turn bring in murkier water.

  • @AquaticImages
    @AquaticImagesАй бұрын

    At the time of making this video, there was no red filters available for either model which is a shame. There should be options for red filters out now. If you are taking either camera scuba diving, I would get a red filter. In the shallows doing snorkeling and duck diving, I wouldn't bother. Hope that's helpful :)

  • @dannykalin

    I will take responsibility and explain the true difference of this cameras and which camera should you choose for uw videos based on your needs and skills: Ace pro has better colors out from the box, basically if you are not into color grading and want some decent footage ready to share, just no questions go for Insta 360 ace pro. Action 4 has a huge benefit for content creators who are more in control of the image colors, as action 4 offers "10bit d-log" this monster is for you, but as this person you already should've made the choice :D also in action 4 you can lock shutter speed manually to follow 180 degree rule, this might be useful for achieving cinematic motion blur. I personally moved from gopro to action4 recently and action 4 d-log videos in DaVnici Resolve just impressed me with the color range i can work with.

  • @AquaticImages
    @AquaticImagesАй бұрын

    Thank you Danny for your comment. Just a few corrections based on my use and experience; - Ace Pro does indeed have better colors out of the box, but also better colors in general, especially at depth. Shooting in LOG isn't going to magically bring out colors that the camera never registered in the first place. On land however, I completely agree that shooting in LOG & 10 bit is highly useful, however underwater there isn't much need for the extra dynamic range to begin with. - You can use manual exposure on both cameras, making it easy to follow the 180 degree shutter rule if needed. However doing so on action cameras isn't always recommended. Action cameras rely on electronic stabilization, which in turn need higher shutter speeds to function optimally. So if you are capturing footage with lots of movements, typical of underwater, letting the shutter run high will probably give you better results. Cheers for highlighting this for me, there's always things I wish I had included in the video after the fact haha.

    No video is provided, every shot in this video is captured by me. I also explain in the video how I capture it, using the recommended settings for both cameras. The end comparison result is for you to visually judge. You don't have to reach the same conclusions as me. However, if I went back to reshoot it, results would be the same.
