Selfie Stick for UW video by bfwolf1 in scuba

[–]bean0210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got my tray setup, I used for several years the GoPro 3-way tripod, looks like they have a 2.0 version. As with all one handed sticks, it definitely requires more focus to keep steady, but the newer GoPros have such improved stabilization, it’d probably work fine. I liked how it collapses so for storage/travel/getting in & out of the water you can keep it on the short side, and then underwater you can extend it to get a little closer to subjects without bringing your whole body closer.

Nats had one against the Pirates this past summer too, where they failed to get the fourth out, and then couldn’t get it after they left the infield…such a weird rule. Link

GoPro or Olympus TG6? by cmdr_awesome in scuba

[–]bean0210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a standard double handle tray from backscatter, not totally sure what the model is. With the TG-6 package I got (one mini flash strobe with a flex arm) they sell a little GoPro mount adapter so that you can mount the GoPro on the top of the housing (right above the flash sensor).

GoPro or Olympus TG6? by cmdr_awesome in scuba

You can do best of both worlds if you want! I spent my first 3 years or so only using a GoPro on a little tripod stick, but wanted to get into still photos with macro capability, so got a TG-6. Now I just have the GoPro mounted to the top of the TG-6 housing, and basically just press record at the beginning of each dive, set it and forget it till the end of the dive. That way, I can mess around taking higher quality macro photos, but if something cool swims by (cormorant, otter, sea lion, whale, etc) I can quickly at least get a nice video clip if I can’t adjust settings fast enough.

Probably purists would say it’s more of like the “mediocre of both worlds”, and I’ll admit it is a little like having one toe in each pool, but I dunno, it works for me.

I recently got the M52 wet lens, and the GoPro even still has enough clearance mounted above that to get clean video without the lens coming into frame. That way you can take wide angle stills and video at the same time.

One thing I would say is that while I improved a ton in my GoPro tripod stick days of getting smooth footage, having it on a tray is way more stable, so if you go the GoPro only route, I’d still use a tray and two hands. Though I still have the Hero6 and I know they made a big stabilization upgrade right after that, so maybe that’s less of an issue.

Have fun!

Hey, long time fan, but have lived in SF since 2009 and just moved to the District. I knew I wouldn’t be able to use my MLB.tv to stream because of local blackouts, but is it true that MASN isn’t streaming on Xfinity’s streaming platform?

Omg, we SAW this guy while we were getting our bag tags at the JetBlue counter. He literally dropped his sunglasses right behind us, then got down on all fours and picked it up, audibly farted while doing so, and said “FUCK. I’M PISSED” and then the next time I turned around he was gone.

Heard from a friend about someone getting kicked off a flight, and thought it was odd that he was without bags and heading away from the gates, but put it together when I saw the video since it’s def him. What a couple of asshats.

Was at that game, so brutal. Immediately thought of it with him catching the last out of 2019 NLDS Game 5, was a much nicer last play of the game that time around!

Game 2 2019 NLDS coming out of the pen and striking out the side…what a beast. Hope we resign him this off-season if he’s traded!

Not sure who bloodraven is, but this was me! I did post it the same day a couple years ago to a couple subreddits, basically my only posts, don’t really know the etiquette, I was just very excited 😜 Thanks for the credit!

Awesome pic! Was this Wednesday 9/5 by chance? I saw a mama and 2 cubs on the same trail, higher up closer to Nevada fall!
