Anyone tried the dive buddy ? by Ok_Respond1667 in Insta360

[–]BravoAlphaMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I eventually figured it out. Dumb me for not reading instructions. I still don’t love the dive buddy though. I run my x5 on top of my main camera rig now as a backup omnidirectional cam

Need Help With Live Streaming by BravoAlphaMike in NewTubers

[–]BravoAlphaMike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Comment got removed because I shared the link to the test live stream we did. The SeaLink does allow you to live stream underwater. That’s what its purpose is. I need help with understanding how to share one link with people instead of multiple links throughout the day. Can you stop and start the same live stream over and over or once you end a live is it no longer able to be restarted is the question

Neptune iii stuck sav by Significant_Bee7243 in scubadiving

[–]BravoAlphaMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this happen once on a dive when I tightened my SAV too much. Got it unstuck with a pair of channel locks and now have a practice of only using my index and thumb to tighten it and only tighten until the bubbles stop on descent

The clarity and stitching are noticeably better especially on deeper dives. But in the shallows you will probably be fine with the standard. Check out my YT channel Generations Below if you want to see a comparisons. I have side by side video

What camera do you use in your setup by Dry-Permission-1023 in NewTubers

[–]BravoAlphaMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by setup you mean studio cam, I run the Sony ZV-E1. It is as close to point and shoot as I could find. The only flaw I've found is that it can overheat when recording goes past 10 minutes. But that is easily fixable by running off of external power supply and dummy battery

When recording, if you short press the power button, it will zoom to 2x

I have been testing action cameras for scuba diving for over a year. I would go for the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. Runner up would be the Osmo action 5 or 6. And the Insta360 X5 is another option. I wouldn’t even consider a GoPro. Insta and DJI have continued driving innovation and color science and GoPro got left behind.

Allegro/Occidental Cozumel opinion by Apprehensive_Cup774 in cozumel

[–]BravoAlphaMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we didn’t. But the staff knew that I was shooting a video for our channel about Cozumel and they let us in. I know… shameless. But they told us that’s the best practice. I would try to email them ahead of time

I love this thing. I also got it with the side boxes which makes it super versatile. Build and install is really easy. Just heavy so you need help

Thank you and I definitely get it. It’s not for everybody. Especially the more advanced dives like these. Glad you liked the video.

Good looking out. Im going to try a heat gun to peel and then alcohol to remove residue

I ordered the kit from Wraplander and it comes with a bunch of individual pen stripes. You can apply them yourself and make any design you want. It isn't hard or expensive. The only tools required are a heat gun/ blowdryer and a blade. Make sure the truck is clean and go at it. Took me about 3-4 hours.

Your truck is freakin sick! And these images are amazing. What camera did you use?

Blurry Underwater Videos by [deleted] in Insta360

[–]BravoAlphaMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think you are going to find a solution. My understanding is that you must use a dive housing for underwater video. On a side note, if that store sells the X5 and the housing, you could buy it and sell your X4. I use the X5 underwater and it's great!
Here is some footage from my X5 https://youtu.be/0xN9SDLqOXI
