How to DRAMATICALLY Improve Your GoPro Underwater Footage

If the lack of control you have with a gopro underwater has ever frustrated you, you need this video. Finally we can adjust gopro settings manually underwater. All you have to do is flash a qr code in front of the lens and as long as you have the experimental gopro labs firmware, you’re good to go! Or atleast that's how it's supposed to work. So we took the QR codes on a trimix dive with our KISS Sidewinders to put them to the test. Remember! If you Vibe, Subscribe!

I've gotten SO MUCH use from my kid's laminator, purchased for some project when he was in elementary school. He's now a high school teacher (and my dive buddy) and I'm still using it for a variety of projects.

With the latest GoPro 11 + Labs you can fine tune shutter speeds as well as gamma curve and color gamut. With the rather extreme lighting conditions you encounter on these dives I think you should benefit from those features quite nicely. You will have much more elbow room for editing in post as well.

[@meridacavediver]

Yeah I use a range for my caving. It’s a totally different beast than reef in terms of black noise

[@AnthonyRGarcia]

Look into Backscatter. They have some GoPro bundles with filters, lights, and they have some nice housings too. Divers Ready did a review of the Hero 11 using that equipment.

This is brilliant. I’m going to test this out in our dark cold Monterey and Carmel water

Subscribed just because I'm also a Combat Medic Veteran, don't let me down 🙂

[@DiveVibe]

Hell yeah bro!

[@meddude1959]

Very cool, thanks for the video! I’m thinking of buying my first GO Pro for my diving videos!

[@CDeanhartman]

I can honestly say I’m not much of a camera guy, but this is pretty awesome. Pretty funny comment about lamination machine, nope, no teacher’s card necessary.

[@WestMelbourneIT]

Good to hear about the QR code, do an update if you find some good settings for deep dives, its a struggle for everyone !

[@talbotmcinnis]

You can build profiles and cycle them with the two button method, even in the waterproof housing

[@DiveVibe]

Yeah, someone mentioned that.

Wondering. Is there a way to shoot underwater in a lake 24/7? Have a live feed to a blog site. My brother has a home on a lake and I thought it would be great to have a live feed under the dock for example. Perhaps a wide angle shot. Would a go pro be able to do this? How about lights? I also have a Eyoyo Camera. I have only shot things at a down angle though. I need something that can do a live feed 24 hours a day. The infrared lights on the Eyoyo looks great at night.

[@Flyer2303]

Why do you need QR codes? You can set up presets for different depths. And select them underwater by pressing mode and shoot Button together.

[@DiveVibe]

Hmmmm, interesting.

[@WeiseGuy91]

QR codes, holy crap who would’ve known

[@paulgee8253]

thank you !!!!

[@craigbrockman7893]

Great video. Are you saying you have min and max ISO set to 100? If not, what were your max settings?

[@DiveVibe]

Yes, when I said the iso is 100, both min and max are set to 100. Thanks!

[@AndrewR74]

Happy to sell you a paralenz vaquita with all the bells and whistles for pet cheap if you want.

[@bradshimkus7585]

Anyone else run into na issue where the QR Code firmware shuts off the camera in under 10 seconds when you push the mode button?

[@WeiseGuy91]

Did you figure out WB QR codes? Seems like a great idea too

[@DiveVibe]

I haven' t gotten around to updating the codes yet. So far the two shallowest settings (or at least what I predicted they would be) have been enough for depths all the way down to 200 feet. I'm working on a potential budget setup for taking a gopro to 100m and if that works out I'll probably revisit the qr codes and make a video about it. Thanks for the comment fam.

[@J.E..]

Do you use dive Filters? If not, get them

[@ScubaExplorer]

Paralenz filed for bankruptcy.

[@DiveVibe]

Well then... lol

[@ryann6234]

Are you using a red filter in these videos?

[@DiveVibe]

Nope! Just the qr codes.

[@jilazee]

A bit late but Paralense are no more..

[@siloamsurio]

What's your uw lights?

[@DiveVibe]

BigBlue 4200, they're pretty good. No complaints.

[@SeattleRingHunter]

The Paralenz dive camera company died. RIP, who's going to respond next to this market for underwater diver specific action cam?!!!

[@DiveVibe]

lol, someone left a comment telling me about that like a week after I released this video. Oops... Gotta check on that stuff before posting.
