Have a project coming up that requires shooting in the ocean. Thanks for this!

Thanks Roo - lots of good stuff. Maybe in another vid you could add some tips about filming from a boat in the channel with a zoom, and maybe some Go Pro tips also :)

Thanks for this Roo. Just got a fluid head for filming surf and it definitely makes a difference! But I still think I need to work on my technique because I still feel the need to keep the IBIS on while filming. Do you always have image stabilisation turned off when shooting on the tripod with the fluid or head or are there still times when you keep it on? Thanks
