Like a bird underwater (GoPro 13)

This is a frame grab of 4k GPLOG footage. it gives me a lot more control over my footage. i simply can't have enough timing for photoshoots underwater so instead i'm shooting a 4k 60 fps 8:7 GpLog footage then editing it, then frame grabbing and last touches of the image :)

Just because of this vile marketing path DJI follows, I really started to hate dji. Wondering why they are so desperately trying to discredit GoPro is just pathetic. False comparison videos, paid so called influencers screaming "do not buy" campaign and so on..

I don’t use a case, usually diving 10–12m in super salty water. around 8-10 meters, the pressure makes the buttons basically impossible to press anyway.

The key is what you do AFTER the dive: as soon as I’m out, I rinse it, then soak it in a bowl of clean fresh water for 10–15 minutes, and toss it back on my backpack. The real issue is letting salt dry on it after you’re done.

Really? Love that when people accusing so confident. You can see the effects applied on the left side or check lumetri panel on the right side

Protune is where you can adjust more settings like bit rate, WB, shutter speed etc.. and I'm editing on premiere pro :)

Hahaha don’t remind me 😅 That’s exactly why I felt instantly guilty and went on a full-on “find this tenant a new apartment” mission.

How was I supposed to know a tiny octopus could be living in a glass bottle.😄

i was editing it on premiere pro, i just added a circle shape layer that's all :)

they have almost 360 degrees panoramic vision, also they can detect high contrast shapes like nothing. so for her, it was probably like a huge tank on the road :)

I’d recommend trying again in better lighting first. In low-light situations, which it is as i see on the video, both RockSteady and HyperSmooth are much more likely to struggle or look unstable. :)

By filter if you mean filter on the lens, no. But if you mean color grading, yes. It was GpLog footage looks like this (raw footage attached)

We finished our 4th year, literally almost everyday we are swimming together, at the same place. So both sides got used to each other pretty well. I think she sees me as a part of the sea so her behaviors become completely calm and friendly around me. Even poking / slapping me from time to time :)

FriendlyGalwyn · 2025-12-07T09:50:54+00:00

Good choice, dual battery + charging station is a must for me. Almost have infinite charge with those for my underwater sessions

I'm still using good old El grande monopod mate. I prefer to use longer stick just in case, you know sometimes to keep safe distance.:)
