The suptig floaty stick I think with the storage compartment I can add just a small amount of lead weight and it will float near you when you let go and not rocket to the surface. If your snorkeling its fine but if your are diving deeper and need a safety stop it will float away before your get to it. With a little weight inside the handle you could make it neutrally buoyant.
Joe Oceanside ah ok, I haven’t gotten my 8 black yet (coming inthe mail soon) I assume that’s a super wide angle. Do you know of any cost effective v shaped or boomerang shaped ones with 2 light mounts?
@@Synergywellnessny I don't think your knuckles would show even in super view. All the stabilizers I have used have been straight, I haven't seen a bowed one yet.
Joe Oceanside last question and I'll leave you alone. The 5 light are there times you would need different colored lights?? Does it help to bring out colors of fish and coral? Trying to improve my image quality of underwater videos any way I can.
@@Synergywellnessny underwater I would never use the different colors. The regular white light will bring out vibrant colors from coral and fish if you are close enough. The only thing I would use the different colors for would be accent lighting for the background of a UA-cam video possibly. Maybe use the red color while on the boat at night so as not too diminish my night vision. Other than that I don't see any use for the different colors.
@Joe Oceanside Great video. I will be picking up a few of these. I am new to GoPro and my main issue is that I can't see the screen underwater. Is there anything that will make it larger or easier to see?
Thank you for the video. I am new to GoPro and your video help me to decide what accessories to buy for snorkeling and scuba diving. I am in South Florida and would like to see if you would be interested in developing a new idea for connecting people around the aquatic ecosystems in the four corners of the world.
You use underwater ball mount clamps, they are on Amazon fairly priced. As for the light, many lights come with ball mounts on them. Or you can get generic ball mount flashlight adapters that will fit a variety of flashlight diameters. What's nice about the ball mounts is you can use extensions to get the lights out wider, this will give you more even lighting and much less backscatter in your image.

Just yesterday I got my 72 led 5 color suptig light. It was $39.99 & said on amazon 147' but on the box it comes in says 164'. Just curious since I do not dive what different colors on the light should I use for certain situations. I want to get some under water shots of me catching fish on the great lake by lowering my hero 8 next to the boat just before I land the fish. Also what accessory should I get to lower it into the water & keep secure? Thanks
I just ordered this selfie stick, I am going to try it out, it could work for lowering gopro into the water. amzn.to/2YmtDRw I would normally just use regular white light. The colored lights I'm not sure what the best use is. How clear is the water you are using it in?
Love these products and that he's taken the time to even put links in, but I was thinking the same re the weighting. Not sure where/how you would add a weight. Any ideas Joe?

I like to use 2.7k at 60 fps. If your computer can't handle editing 2.7k than 1080 is usually fine. 60 fps is good for underwater because you can slow footage down by %50 when fish swim by. Make sure the stabilization is on, and all the exposure settings just leave on auto unless you plan on color correcting. Maybe I will make a video on this topic. Thanks for watching!
@@JoeOceanside how do you slow footage down by 50%? Is that on post editing? Or while filming? Does the slow footage down do it by itself or I have to press a button while filming? This is my very first time using gopro
@@luispaz27 the slow motion will be done in the editing. You actually can do some basic editing in the Gopro app, it's good enough to make short clips for your social media. If you want to want to do some basic editing you could also look into software like Adobe premiere elements. In order for you to slow your footage down you must set your camera up with the correct frame rate. If you film in 30 frames per second you will not be able to slow it down. If you film in 60 fps you will be able to slow it by 50%. If you film in 120 fps you will be able to slow it down to 25%. So the higher the frame rate, the slower you are able to make the footage. Just keep in mind though, higher frame rates will use alot more storage on your memory card and will probably drain the camera battery faster. I find that 60 fps is a good setting for snorkeling and scuba diving. Look on UA-cam for a video explaining frame rates and slow motion, there are a lot of good videos that can explain it better than I can. Hope this helps you!
ua-cam.com/video/xmcZ1XNt148/v-deo.html if you are shooting the bottom of the ocean which is 15metre or below,,then use red filter,,for green water use magneta filter. for now please support my video of diving with sharks
@@gavincopley367 I do not use any filters, for shallow 0-15 ft a red filter is not necessary. For deeper it could be useful, I just have not bought one yet for the 8. On my other videos I try to use a dive light to bring the color back or color correct in premiere pro. Thanks for watching!
I actually have not used any filters on any of my UA-cam videos. On the videos of deep dives I will do a little correcting in my video editing software. Very soon I will invest in some filters, I will make a video about it when I do. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
There’s not a lot of reviews on hero 8 regarding dive filters. Most of the reviews are from 5,6,7. Even when I checked amazon for reviews, I did not find any good ones.
It should be. The mounts are still the same. The gopro 8 has the mounts built into the camera so a cage/case is not required to attach the camera to accessories. Of course if you want it to be water proof past a few meters you will use the super suit and that too has the same gopro mounts that will work with all the older gopro accessories. Thanks for watching
so if you mount your gopro over your head. the bubble gonna destroy the footage unless you do free diving. so that's not good. the gopro just overall sucks not because of the video quality . it's because of the lens. the distortion just kills the footage.
I mount it on the headstrap sometimes when scuba diving, the bubbles do not interfere unless you were standing vertically which you would rarely do while scuba diving. Yes the gopro is not perfect but the 8 black is pretty amazing, especially for the price, and the stabilization is phenomenal. Thanks for watching

GoPro and Underwater....2 words you got me at lol.
Awesome, i'm glad the video was right up your alley. Thanks for watching
@@JoeOceanside 🙂
The tripod is awesome have that and use it for filming on both my channels. Super sturdy and flexible
The flexy tripod is definitely the most useful accessory
@@JoeOceanside yes it is. That thing can go so many places and get such great angles.
Great video. How did you did mount the light using the ball mount? Is there another accessory?
Those are good advices, thanks!
A very useful video, thanks.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
When you put a GoPro black 8 on wide angle lens Does the smaller more compact stabilizer cause your hands (knuckles) to get in the picture?
Not on wide, but I did not try it on superview though. Thanks for watching!

Fantastic tips, thank you!!! I am deciding between the GoPro hero 10 vs Sealife micro 3.0. Your video is tipping the scale towards the GoPro…👍
