Hero Underwater Video Camera

I use GoPro for underwater photography and was very curious about the how long the battery would last. I left the camera with monitor on on the Hero 4 Black+ for the entire hour and 10 minutes I snorkeled and recorded some very lengthy swims with a green sea turtle. In total, about 8 gigs at 2.7K. Although the battery was run down to one dot at the end, I still had power and got some great stills and vids. This battery gave me twice the life and shooting time of a GoPro brand battery. Highly satisfied and recommended.

Gopro hero 7 is one of the best action camera one of the best in video stabilization

I needed a external video camera for my new RZR, and I started looking around at the choices. I was given the HERO 2 a few years ago and I never got into the camera. I decided to go with the SJ4000 after talking with a model airplane guy, would recommended the unit. I am very impressed with the unit. The SJ4000 is much cheaper and the layout for the video is much better then GO Pro. After setting up the HERO 2 and the SJ4000, I like the SJ more. Something about the HERO, and its operation just does agree with me. This camera is perfect as a low end camera, opposite my higher end panasonic cameras. I am going to order another camera soon and I am torn between the Sj5000 or the new CUBE.

I use this to mount a GoPro Hero camera to my HMC150 when I video my son's soccer team matches. All metal - seems to be well made.

This camera is for underwater professional video. It is a full HD signal. SDI was what I needed. It is a perfect size and can be used with great optic. As all the time B & H was very fast for shipping. I received the camera 2 weeks after the order. Four to six were annonced.

I did not expect much from this camera but it blew me away. It has it's limitations but for the price it comes up with a great video. I took the kids to the pool and played around with it underwater. Really good underwater video. I even used the cam in my car for vloging and the mic on the camera delivered clear audio better than my camcorder does. For the price everybody into video should have one because the camera is good and cheap so if you run over it, drop it off a mountain or have a moose swallow it, it's no big deal.

I got this lens to shoot underwater video and stills with my Sony A6500 in an Ikelite DL/M200 housing. Sunday morning was my first dive with it. To say that it didn't disappoint would be a gross understatement! This lens is razor sharp, with very fast autofocus. I found that with other lenses on this camera, I had to set the autofocus speed to responsive, which is much faster than Standard. With this lens, I have to dial that back down, as the AF responds a bit too quickly now for my taste! Even with the A6500's 1.5x crop factor, giving this lens the equivalent angle of view as that of a 24mm lens on a full frame camera, this lens's ability to focus at very close distances makes it an excellent lens for underwater work for all but the smallest of subjects. The image I've attached is a saved frame from 4K video I shot Sunday morning. The subject is a curious Sheepshead that came in for a very close up look at my camera! I have several Sigma lenses for Canon: the 24-105 Art and 150-600 Sports, and this very value-priced 16mm prime for the Sony E mount continues that fine tradition of quality glass. Good job, Sigma!

I purchased this video specifically because Canon makes a compact underwater housing for it. The housing instructions tell you how to set the camera for underwater, and although the instructions were a bit vague, and Canon support was not helpful, it is a one time adjustment. I just got back from first dive trip with it and the underwater colors were about as natural as watching Planet Earth. It did well on large animals, like dolphins, and equally well on all but the tiny macro stuff. The bright screen setting enabled me to see the LCD panel easily underwater. I used the camera with a Lite Cannon 100 underwater light and a diffuser for overhangs and darker days. Overall, I have never been this happy with an underwater camera.

GoPro keeps pushing the limits of their hero camera. The Hero 10 is by far the best action camera on the market. I shot with three of them on a recent shoot at ancillary video cameras to capture footage from vantage points that my larger camera could not get. The image stabilizer and the picture quality is amazing and mix perfectly with footage from my 6K pro camera.

Used it on vacation,and was definitely worth getting . Especially for underwater video and pictures.
