Huge value in these conversations. Thanks so much guys, almost 1000 subs now!
Thank you!
Thanks for the information about this topic. I was wondering, what your thoughts were on underwater drones as an entry level option?
I have yet to see any underwater drone imagery that I thought was at all memorable!
I used sea&Sea film cameras for 25+ years. When I went digital it was Gopro, 4 then 7. now I need Light, so i riggedup to 5 LED lights around my Gopro. Friends called it Gopro on steroids. These LED lights cost 25 euros each that doesn't break the bank on a 3000+ holiday. At the end of the holiday 3 of 5 LEDs were flooded but I was still filming. Todays chinese LEDs are better, Suptig LED at 35 euros robust brilliant. However Gopro is CRAP for still photography. I was diving RED Sea and my Buddy was diving a TG6 with a hand held torch. Back home I saw his results. Couldn't believe it. I had to have it. So now I run TG6 in -60m case, with Strobe' and LED. Complete system less than 1000 Euros. my friends with cased SLRs and two big barrage baloon Strobes in Macro can only compete if they have decided to dive the whole dive in macro. I use a wide angle adaptor screwed onto the front of the rig. I can shoot wide angle, normal and even Micro, through this wide angle adaptor. OR If I want unscew it and put it in my pocket. 1000 Euros can get you a long way.I don't neet mega mega pixels I watch my pics and vide'os on the computer screen.
Adam, you need to communicate and pay back the money you owe me and others. You have been reassuring me for months that you would get me my 5,000 dollars back from the Lembeh trip you rescheduled once your health allowed you to do so. I you are able to post new trips and collect money from people you can send me my money back. There is no excuse for this behavior.
I warn others that there is a pattern of collecting money then no communication and sometimes not even a trip like this Red Sea one. To not talk about it and reveal what Adam is doing is hurting the industry and protecting someone that is fraudulent and causing great damage to the industry.
