Underwater Video Camera Stabilizer

This a great lens, and the quick focus/stabilizer have made it a go to for video.

What a great lens. Great for video and photo. No stabilizer in the lens so if you’re camera body doesn’t have it, highly suggest using a tripod.

This product was ready to use, almost straight from the box. I hooked it up to my camera right away, and the ease of use and quality of my video with this stabilizer is amazing! It was affordable and will make such a huge difference in the quality of my videos.

I am using this on a Z axis stabilizer with the gimbal on camera and walking around is super stable. Video is maybe a bit digital and sharp but quality and color science is good.

A very well made and durable lens, I purchased exclusively for use recording video. The image stabilizer, for video, is key the difference is clear when performing hand held shots. The only downside I have experienced is that when using the on camera microphone with the image stabilizer a faint hum is recorded on the audio track. This is fine if you are only using the on camera for a reference track but is not desirable otherwise. Frankly I wouldn't recommend using the internal mic on and HDSLR because they are all pretty poor.

I have a good Canon camera, needed one Video stabilizer for better quality videos, with this Revo ST-500 I could very easily set and get the desired results. I take photos and videos on family occasions at home and outdoor.

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.
