Hello, would you mind doing a breakdown of your camera equipment?
Hi :) I love your videos, they are really helpful! I would like to buy my first action camera but I'm a bit lost 😅 Is DJI or GoPro better? And do you think it's worth it to upgrade to GoPro 13 (compared to the GoPro 12)? Thanks for your help!!
Thank you! In my honest opinion I think you should just hold onto Hero 12…the quality in footage between the hero 12 and 13 are about the same…I do really like the DJI action 5 pro mainly because of its battery life, the footage looks great too. If the battery life justifies the upgrade I would say go with the DJI but I love the heron12 and there is nothing wrong with keeping it : )
@scottbauerbelow Alright, thank you for your advise!
Amazing footage! Did you use the osmo action 4 for the underwater shots?
Thank you! On this video I shot with my Sony A7IV and my Sony a6700…these are both great mirrorless cameras
Muy buenas imagenes podrias decir la configuracion? Gracias
Can i use micro lens on Dji 5pro? Or any lens on general? I’m new to underwater photography, I’m trying to understand it 🫢
You may be able to find an aftermarket macro lens bit I haven’t seen one
What if I'm just like snorkeling depth, is there much difference with OS4 and OS5? Which is more beginner friendly. I've never had action camera before but would want to capture some underwater moments on my next snorkeling activity. 😅
Impressive!
Hi, since you have both dji oa4 and oa5, is os5 worth the upgrade, for diving purpose.
I think the battery life on the OS5 is enough of a jump in performance on its own to justify it…I like the way the WB performs better on the OS5 as well
Great color purity and withstands 60 feet without an amazing case
I really like it so far
ARE ALL ACTION 5 PRO CAMERAS THE SAME OR YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE DIVING ONE TO GO UNDERWATER ? I WANT TO BUY THE VLOGGER MODEL .
I am assuming that you are talking about the Osmo Pocket? If so that camera does not go underwater
@@scottbauerbelow THANKS
@@TRICK-OR-TREAT236 You should consider getting the Action 5, especially since it’s waterproof I just purchased one. However, the Pocket 3 is awesome as well, though it’s fragile if you’re not careful.
This video deserves so many more views
Thank you very much!
Looking Into getting a 13 Black as I am getting more Into Diving. Waiting for the best settings update 👀👀
Good luck with your hero 13! I’ll be sure to get that next video out as soon as possible!
great vid thank you and on the lookout for your settings update!
Absolutely and Thank you!
ABSOLUT CINEMA!!! going diving in south africa soon, thanks!!
Thank you, enjoy your trip!
Great content, keep it up!
Thank you!
Most divers in salt water will use the camera in a housing.
Yeah if you are diving saltwater I would recommend the housing. The depth gauge won’t work if you do so but that’s not a critical feature, I just wanted to try it out for the sake of the video
Excellent Video ! CoCo View and Roatan are on the top of my bucket list. However, health is not permitting me to currently go. Sad to hear about the coral bleaching. Was disappointed with the visibility in the video.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you can get out to Roatan sometime soon. The vis in cocoview can be a hit and miss based on the tides drawing dirty water in and out of the lagoon
@Fishycomics mentioned the C-type door was loose. It opens when you push it without pressing the button. The same thing happened on my dji 5. Do you also have such a problem?
Hi! I have not noticed that issue on the DJI 5. However I did notice that issue on the 4….i would recommend just using it with the cage when you take it into the water and the cage should prevent it from coming unsealed
Here's my opinion on the video for me it's on the dark side it would have been interesting to see the footage if you had a light rig... I've done oil tankers in Florida so I thought image quality was exceptional it was just a little too dark ... I bought this camera for stabilization.. !!! And we'll see if it gets it right underwater because GoPro suffer from this weird yellowy greeny crap . The older GoPros had a real huge problem filming underwater it was a weird thing it would do... Im waiting for it to arrive Ups ...But so far this camera iReviews are amazing and it seems to really really have it together when it comes to image quality I'm just so blown away by the image quality compared to a high-quality mirrorless camera like maybe black Pocket magic camera or a Sony A7 2rs or whatever the newest Canon is...
Yeah, totally get it! All of these tests were shot with natural light. You may really like the results when you add light just be sure to get the biggest and brightest lights that you can afford. If you get weak lights it will mess with the WB and the image will suffer. I may need to make a video about this…
Thank you for your reviews. I'm having a difficult time deciding on which underwater camera to get...I need the best camera for indoor and outdoor pool underwater video of my exercise demonstrations. Which one do you recommend or are they all fairly similar?
They are all pretty good, I honestly don’t think that you can go wrong…DJI 5 and insta360 ace 2 both have amazing battery life if you are doing longer workouts and don’t want to mess with changing out the battery
Which river in Texas was this shot in it looks amazing
My recent underwater video. ua-cam.com/video/DgHdBfsIxTs/v-deo.html
I know this is an oddball- but I’m 6 dives into the new world underwater and I understand I have to log 25 dives to then approach spring lake in San Marcos-> I’m an hour north of it and I’d love to have the opportunity to make it a regular dive spot-> I guess what I’m asking is, where may I go about finding the information for approaching the group that regulates the divers there? Is it an invite only basis, I’m just curious by nature, appreciative of your time and this beautiful footage! Keep up the beautiful work and have safe dives🙌🏻
Great question! Visit the website for “the meadows center for water and the environment” and look up a course called the “diver authorization course” or the DAC. Once you take that class you can dive in Spring Lake as much as you like…Hope to see you there!
@ this is beyond helpful and likewise! Thank you!
great video. What are the best settings for diving and which stabilization? where is it so interesting underwater?😊🤿
Thanks! Rocksteady plus for sure, this place is in San Marcos Tx
@@scottbauerbelow Thank you very much. Which one is better wide or ultra wide?
I like ultra wide and I would recommend to set your EV balance to -1
Wow, I think 60 feet with no case AND the depth meter are amazing
Yeah I think it’s a great option
I just received my GoPro 12 but the settings don’t look like this. I checked out a lot of videos for low light settings on the GoPro 12 and they’re the same as yours. Meaning mine is different. I wonder if they’ve updated their software and this is the result.
Nice video! I have been frustrated with the radical white balance shifts as well. have you figured out a workaround? I've been considering just setting a manual WB.
Thank you! I have not unfortunately. Like you, I have thought about setting a manual WB but that would only be effective if you plan on remaining at the same depth throughout your entire dive…
What is your thought on it versus Action 4? I have an action 4 and not sure if an upgrade is worth it?
Yeah that is a great question, I think the battery life on the action 5 is great, if that is an issue for you then maybe consider the upgrade. The footage also looks great and it seems like the action 5 has less of a tendency to be biased towards a green or purple tinted color when it does it’s auto WB…I really like the 5 but your 4 is not bad either
@@scottbauerbelow thanks for the info, I find the battery to not be so great specially when recording in 4k 60P. I have had to recharge it in between dives.
when will you review the ace pro 2 ?
As soon as I can, i currently have one on the way!
silly question but i have not used gopro yet, i ordered hero 12 and it's on its way...question is - do i need a waterproof case to use it under water or the unit itself can be taken down underwater without waterproof case?
It can go to 20-30 feet without the underwater housing
@@scottbauerbelow thank you! i got it, i have tried it under without underwater housing...
Great video can’t wait for a ACE Pro 2 review 👍
Thank you! I have an ace pro 2 on the way!
Florida is awesome. Are there gators in this lake?
This is actually in Texas at Spring Lake in San Marcos….no gators!
In Florida where there is water beware of gators
Let me know where you took out the trash, I could really do with that GoPro 😂
lol….too late my friend
Another very good video Scott. Thanks.
Thank you!
Internal Storage is 47.8 Gb on Dji, not 65 ;)
Yup! That is my mistake!
Wow, stunning shots! Did you install the latest firmware from a week or so ago? I have been using the 0A5 on my last few kayaking fishing trips and have been impressed especially with the super night mode.
Thank you very much! No this was the version just before that
@Fishycomics mentioned the C-type door was loose. It opens when you push it without pressing the button. The same thing happened on my dji 5. Do you also have such a problem?
7:40 looks like a rare species 😮
That is one of my favorite freshwater fish….that is a spotted gar, they live in most freshwater springs found in Florida and Texas
Not you binning the go pro. I need em😭
Lol
Good review! Good video!
Thank you!!! I hope it was helpful
Thanks for the content! Was the GoPro's going in the trash a subliminal message that the Action 5 is better? Your video footage using the GoPro looked pretty good in your other video. I know that both are good cams- but who has the edge with video quality?
lol, no I was just joking….i actually like the hero 12 the best to be honest but they are all very close. I’m also looking forward to trying the insta360 Acepro 2 which will probably be the next video
@@scottbauerbelow Funny- thanks for the advice!
Nice work! Thanks! Dji osmo action 5 pro looks good to me. Video quality 👍
Thanks! Yeah it’s a good option!
This is a great video. I would like an action cam with me that I dont have to worry about shutting down whenever it wants like the Gopro Hero 12 black
Thank you! Yeah my hero 12 didn’t have any issues unless I ran it in 5k….however the DJI didn’t seem to have any sort of overheating issues and it seemed like you can run it for its full battery life with out it shutting down…it’s a really good option
Seems the random shutting down feature on the GoPro's is a known issue- My last GoPro, the hero 8 Black did this constantly. Never buy another GoPro product again!
Anyway to include depth gauge into video clip? That would be pretty awesome Ps great video as always
Thanks man! I don’t believe so, as far as I can tell, the depth gauge is only visible from the cameras view finder…
It should be possible. I've seen some freedivers do it; there should be an option for it in the app, under the section for data overlays. Unfortunately, this only works without a case up to 20m, and that's not very deep for a freediver.
@@suntzuthesecond that’d be cool! @scottbauerbelow worth checking on that!
@@scottbauerbelow You can put the depth gauge using DJI mimo app on your phone. Using the dashboard and choose diving. You can even import your Garmin dive computer's FIT data to show it in a video. However, I only find it available through the app, hopefully we can put it on PC somehow
@@suntzuthesecond You can import your Apple or Garmin dive computer's FIT data in the app, so a deeper data might be possible. I haven't go deeper than 20 meters though so couldn't test
pretty sure the answer is no, but Is it possible to change the settings while underwater? Or do you have to surface for every single change?
You can! You will set up different profiles that each have their own setting and then you can switch between those different profiles while you are underwater
@@scottbauerbelow wow, that's stellar, thanks!
hello, when can we expect the next video for hero 13 best setting for underwater?
Hopefully very soon!
HARDCORE!!!! Looks awesome.
Great review! What housing are you using and where one can get a two-arm rig like that?
Thank you, the tray is from Newer and the housing is from Telesin you can search for those on Amazon….
Good day, sir. The soundtracks in this video are amazing and breathtaking ! Where do you find them?
Thank you! This came from artlist
is the color sensor works whith the water proof case?
It should as far as I can tell
what spring is this?? I'm in SA, it would be awesome to go check it out, weather's still warm
Unfortunately, you will need a permit from the city to get in the water here….it is in New Branfels
@@scottbauerbelow ah it's san marcos... yeah, you just have to apply for it
