[@mitchashton8891]

This video was so sick man keep up the awesome work and stay stoked ✌

[@andrewmullins5169]

Coop! The style of these videos that you make are fantastic!!! I recently was given a film camera (Nikkormat FTN) as a gift and I am having trouble putting it down! I have found a great appreciation for all of the work you put into your channel and I just wanted to say thank you very much for creating!

[@Tomgoestravelling]

Fantastic tips on aperture, lens length, iso - the works, thanks man! 🤙

[@westrom8752]

Such a good video. Just recently started with the film photography and always loved surfphotography too but never felt confident enough without my surfboard in the water. Anyway, now got my hands on a Nikonos V and will try to get some shots in smaller surf and give it a good crack. Can't wait to get into the water with it. Keep up the creative and solid videos/photography mate! Cheers from Germany

[@ludovicopocci9650]

Epic vid!!! Also you inspired me to take a nikonos.. and i alrrady had a lot of fun with it!!! Keep it going!!

[@shootswithcoops]

Ludovico Pocci thanks mate. Glad you enjoy it. It’s a great camera

[@peteberry3826]

I just rewatched this video. Very informative. Does the digital housing also act as floatation device?

[@brocksmith360]

Appreciate the video man, just found ur channel! Sick to see ur from Perth

[@shootswithcoops]

B. Smith cheers mate, thanks for watching

[@7merkaba7]

Awesome! thank you for the useful info! i have a Nikonos V too and i´ve only shot one roll with it although i haven´t developed it yet. I have two questions, hope you can help me out: How big have you went out with the Nikonos, is there a limit? And finally, i´m a little bit (or a big bit!) concerned about the original strap not holding up in bigger surf than one meter, i don´t want to wipe out and lose the camera, any strap/leash reccommendations? Cheers man, keep up the good work! Aloha from Rio de Janeiro!

[@Zosoid]

Hi. Couple of questions. Can you advance the film underwater with the Nik V, or should I take it above water to advance? All I have is 100 speed film. What is the sunny 16 rule underwater? Do I open up 2 stops? Is there a rule like one stop light loss every X amount of feet in water?

[@surrealboy7453]

sick video!

[@shootswithcoops]

Surreal Boy thanks man

[@SLMediaie]

Great vid man! I have a Meikon Housing, it’s absolutely amazing for the price!

[@PedroWessels]

Is this only for Sony cameras

[@SLMediaie]

Pedro Wessels Depends on what camera you have. You buy it specific to your camera

[@gorila1958]

I went over to look for that housing and found it but it's a little confusing. Can you please give me the exact model you got what it's called and with fish eye cover . With the hand grip also thank you for your help .

[@ze_rolex3683]

Where can you buy this camera strap?

[@MrRcDumper]

im a pro surf photographer from so cal , i use sea frogs salt version its cheap alternative " meikon " also i have spl and aqua tech housings , but i totally recomend the sea frogs housings or meikon you just have more options and it more cost effective , ive been shooting for many years and tested many products rccsurfphotographs on instagram, by the way the video is great and he is sharing great info

[@shootswithcoops]

[@RyanMackPhoto]

@@shootswithcoops pro ??

[@samobrien4769]

I noticed that momentum deck in the background of your vid hahah awesome are you from Perth

[@h2rodeo]

Does the dome port distort the image at all outside of the water? Im looking at getting one for my 16-35mm lens but want to use it above and below water (scuba and surf). Any help greatly appreciated!

[@shootswithcoops]

Mike Wahl outside the water there no to minimal distortion. Well I haven’t noted any. Jump on my Instagram, any surfing pics in the water were taken with it. You can see for yourself

[@h2rodeo]

@@shootswithcoops awesome! Thanks so much for the reply! Ill go check out your insta for sure! Thanks again, super informative video!

[@himynameis1659]

This is the first video i found that was really really helpful concerning surf photography, thank you so much! What digital camera do you use again and what is the name of the housing company? Thanks again!

[@joshuabest7759]

Great video mate! Just wondering what website did you buy the digital water housing from?

[@shootswithcoops]

Joshua Best thanks josh, go to the meikon website and buy from them, they have free express shipping

[@filmlovephotography]

Hi Coops, excellent explanation, just missing the tip of when the wave breaks on top of the photographer, grab the camera close to the belly to not bring her in the face, in the middle of the shake. Hug from Portugal.

[@jameswaldron8786]

Hey brother, could you chuck up the website you got your DSLR camera housing off? Keep the great videos coming!!

[@shootswithcoops]

James Waldron hey bro. It’s from meikon, Company in Hong Kong. There very well priced.

[@jameswaldron8786]

Shootswithcoops thanks bro :)

[@KrisGeeCee]

Hey Coops, have you tried shooting with your Nikonos on a boogieboard? Or do you think it's easier to just go out with a pair of fins

[@shootswithcoops]

Kristian Carreon I would say easier with fins, you don’t want anything to get in the way when your trying to shoot surfers

[@lewislande2255]

Hey folks I just have a budget killer option for aquashoot , second hand sony nex 5 for a 100 euros, and a meikon housing for this one bought on e bay for q 100 euros too , peace

[@tallaganda83]

Isn't a 35mm lens, 50mm underwater?

[@shootswithcoops]

I don’t even know? You could be right, but for surfing I’m always shooting above the water anyway

[@katewinters5251]

What’s the name of the company?

[@pausaki4784]

Hi do you think i can wear a life jacket?

[@shootswithcoops]

pau saki totally up to you, if your not a strong swimmer that might be a good idea

[@pausaki4784]

Shootswithcoops thank you so much!

[@MrRcDumper]

no, no way to escape fins coming at you

[@lifeinmotionchile]
