I like the idea of incorporating this cool perspective into my videos just to mix it up a bit.and yes not overdoing it. Thanks for the tips I'll be referring back to your episode when I finally pull the trigger on one.

[@DiveSAGA]

@@peterneubauer9712 I agree! Here and there an eye-catching shot is all it takes! When you decide to get one, consider using the link under the video. It should result in a discount for you and helps the channel! 👊

[@Gphdigz]

Appreciate the video - but would have loved to see more footage exported at the highest quality, while you are talking over it.

[@petethehandyman9185]

Awesome job thanks!😊😊

[@DiveSAGA]

@@petethehandyman9185 any time! 👊

I dive with a full face OTS Guardian. If I mounted it on the guardian above my face, do you think that would get good results? I want to film my dives but keep my hands free. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

[@DiveSAGA]

@@rivertownrider7126 yeah it would work but if you panned downwards, you would see your head quite large in the frame 😀

[@sergiofraile3766]

Are the clips you are showing in this video recorded in 5.7K or 8K?

[@DiveSAGA]

@@sergiofraile3766 I usually use 8K on the surface and 5.7K underwater. Keep in mind that that doesn't mean that you get that resolution because, as shown in the editing section at the end, you are often cropping or zooming and key framing. That being said, when used online, it is rarely even actually displayed in 4K.
