Underwater Test Footage - GoPro Hero 5

[@jackoneill3856]

That footage is amazing. I am buying my first action camera, purely for scuba diving. Just to get an idea, can you list all the components you used with Hero 5 in this video. Thanks

[@backscatteruw]

Hi Jack, Most importantly, you will need our Flip Filter system: www.backscatter.com/sku/ff-pro5.lasso You'll also want a tray and lights. Light & Motion makes a great light called the Sola, and we have a pair of them with a tray and flex arms for a good deal: www.backscatter.com/sku/bs-sola2k-pkg2.lasso Last but not least, get a tripod for super stable close-up and macro shots: www.backscatter.com/sku/jb-jb00103.lasso If you take a look in the opening scene you'll note this is exactly how the GoPro we shot with is configured. Hope this helps! Give us a call at Backscatter or send us an email and we will get you all hooked up. 831-645-1082 or [e-mail]

@@backscatteruwAre these items still available? Jaya’s discontinued. I am inquiring for I can get a hero 5 reliably cheap for same purposes. Just want to bring with me on Dives. Don’t need the new go pros. For this video looks fantastic

[@k.candlinux1427]

Did you record in 4K or 2.7? Also, what upload and compression settings do you guys use? This video is such good quality. Two thumbs up for sure!!

[@NiTr091]

what housing did you use and any cover over the lens?

[@bocaorientalrugcarpetandti1273]

Beautiful video quality

[@0pima0]

I've been looking around to see what camera to get for when I go diving next - this video just totally sol me on the gopro 5!

[@backscatteruw]

Let us know when you're ready and we'll be happy to help!: www.backscatter.com/GoPro-Hero5-Black-camera

[@0pima0]

Was there a red filter used during this footage? Or a lot of post-editing? :-)

[@backscatteruw]

There is no color correction in post on this footage, everything shown is straight out of camera captured with a Flip Filter.

[@RomanBoldov]

Thank you I know! I wonder what will happen if you dive to 10 meters or more deep will be without Boxing?

[@backscatteruw]

Eventually the seals will fail and the camera will flood with water.

[@RomanBoldov]

ок! ясно друг!

[@MurrayCurry7]

Can you use the GoPro hero 5 without the case on if so is it better it off or having a water proof case on?

[@backscatteruw]

The GoPro Hero 5 is waterproof to 30ft without the housing. We prefer to always use the case for reducing wear-and-tear and potential water damage. It's like having a suit of armor for the camera without sacrificing any control.

[@MurrayCurry7]

Backscatter Thanks 😀

[@justinguitarboy123]

The go pro Hero 5 does not have a physical menu button to change settings under the water like the previous go pros. How did the lcd screen do underwater regarding responsiveness??? Were you able to change the settings underwater?

[@backscatteruw]

The touchscreen is not accessible when the Hero 5 is installed in the Super Suit housing. You can access the shooting menu and change settings by holding down the Mode Button and pressing the Record Button. This brings up a menu on the front screen which can be navigated with the 2 buttons. See our video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmnRdJZrmp2Npac

[@justinguitarboy123]

thank you!

[@RomanBoldov]

Привет! А что будет если без бокса нырнуть глубже 10м метров?

[@backscatteruw]

You need the Super Suit housing for diving deeper than 10 meters: www.backscatter.com/sku/gp-aadiv-001.lasso

[@dominicbuob7674]

where is this? like specific. Maybe i will go here. Is there any diving center in the area?

[@backscatteruw]

This is off of Monastery Beach just south of Monterey, California.

[@dominicbuob7674]

Thank you Hope i will once visit the USA soon again and dive there Greetinngs from Switzerland

[@chico6k_]

Backscatter Awww, I've heard I should get a bit more experienced with the rest of Monterey before trying to dive Monastery. These scenes are gorgeous though!

[@sampemberton5710]

Can't find the device with the macro lens and red filter on your website, could you give me a link?

[@backscatteruw]

Here you go: www.backscatter.com/sku/ff-pro5.lasso

[@caitlinclosz4350]

when will the Flip 5 be available?

[@backscatteruw]

Current projection looks like next month (November 2016). We'll post an official update soon!

[@caitlinclosz4350]

okay, thanks!

[@YogeshKolte]

For Flip 5 system please come up with better locking mechanism which will keep filters and lenses in place without requiring additional hack.

[@backscatteruw]

Every generation of Flip Filters will continually improve. Thanks for the feedback!

[@BackscatterUWvideo]

The FLIP4 does have two lock positions on both the top and side filters. The first position is for the MacroMate Mini lens and the second lock is further back for filters. If you have a FLIP3.1 you need the o-ring hack to keep the MacroMate back.

[@lucaslam2518]

Great vid! Would you say its crucial to have the filter when underwater? And can i trust that the filter wont break when traveling? Thx

[@backscatteruw]

Yes, absolutely! A color correction filter such as the Flip 5 is necessary to get true, accurate color from the GoPro. Our filters are very durable and scratch resistant, plus they include a neoprene traveling case!

this is norcal isn't it?

[@moosc]

will there be a flip system for G5 without the case for snorkeling etc?

[@backscatteruw]

Our current platform will only work with the Super Suit housing, but it's still a new product so we may develop something in the near future.

[@tobiasw36]

what was your amazing filter and lens setup for in front of the go pro and where have you got it from

[@backscatteruw]

We are using the Flip 5 Filter system and +15 MacroMate Mini Lens. You can learn about and order them here: www.backscatter.com/FLIP5-Pro-Package-with-SHALLOW-DIVE-DEEP-Filters-15-MacroMate-Mini-Lens-for-GoPro-3-3-4-5

[@echols2010]

Is this with protune on or off and if on what settings?

[@backscatteruw]

This was shot in all auto modes, no protune limits.

[@Denz4ya]

Where can i buy the good dive housing for hero 5 black?

[@backscatteruw]

www.backscatter.com/sku/gp-aadiv-001.lasso

[@benjaminstampe4886]

Handle tray or the Gopro 3 Way for diving?

[@backscatteruw]

Backscatter Double Handle Tray all the way! www.backscatter.com/sku/ff-dtr.lasso

[@deedeevee]

Is the flipfilter special for the super suit (hero 5) or is it the same as from a gopro hero 3 dive housing?

[@backscatteruw]

We'll have a new dedicated Flip 5 system for the Hero 5/Super Suit released later this year. You can make a Flip 4 work, learn more here: www.backscatter.com/learn/article/article.php?ID=276

[@ariejcohen]

Backscatter g

[@KarlyWeasley]

do you recomend this camara at 120ft??

[@backscatteruw]

At that depth you'll want our Deep (50ft+) color correction filter and a good set of video lights. The Super Suit housing can handle up to 196ft, so you're good to go there.

[@KarlyWeasley]

Backscatter thank you, I'll try to fit them into my budget, you ship worlwide right?

[@backscatteruw]

That's right! You can always email us at [e-mail] and we will be happy to help out!

[@KarlyWeasley]

Backscatter great!! thank you sooo much!! :)

[@hanshacks3515]

What tripod do you use

[@backscatteruw]

We usually use the Joby Gorillapod: www.backscatter.com/sku/jb-gp3-bhen.lasso?s2op=cn&s2=hardware&s6op=cn&s6=video&s7op=cn&s7=joby&sop=AND&sf=Price&so=Descending&ftn=youbetcha&

[@G.AngHWBG]

I have one big issue with my Hero 3+ - I can hardly take any close-ups (not macros, just close to object footage). Does Hero 5 had smaller focus distance? And also does the stabilization helps in having less shaky videos underwater?

[@robthirtyseven]

The Hero5 will have a close-focus advantage over the 3+. Ideally you will want this filter for work at 12" distance or so: www.backscatter.com/sku/ff-10.lasso The image stabilization is a big help. When combined with a dual handle tray or tripod you will have very smooth footage!

[@winstony2289]

At what depth did you have the GoPro 5 at?

[@backscatteruw]

Most of this footage was captured at 50ft or shallower

[@TimeShiftBros]

What lights did you use?

[@backscatteruw]

This was shot with dual Light & Motion Sola lights: www.backscatter.com/sku/lmi-850-0354.lasso?s2op=cn&s2=video%20lights&s6op=cn&s6=video&s7op=cn&s7=light%20%26%20motion&sop=AND&sf=Price&so=Descending&ftn=youbetcha&

[@nanyang2215]

Hello man, I want to but a set of equipment that u use in the video. How much for them?

[@backscatteruw]

You can find everything you need right here: www.backscatter.com/sku/gp-chdhx-501.lasso

[@daiwangel]

increible gopro uso 1080 - 60 ??

[@backscatteruw]

That is correct!

[@daiwangel]

I already try gopro hero 5 perfect black but little problem with memory which mark good for 4k help thanks

[@Gio-nl7eg]

what lenses thing was that?

[@backscatteruw]

That is the Flip 5 filter system. Learn more at www.flipfilters.com

[@scubatom8232]

Do you think I will see a big difference compared to my Hero 4?

[@backscatteruw]

Some of the new features and interface are the biggest improvement. Quality will be comparable, but with a slight advantage to the Hero 5.

[@ericheung8238]

Gopro Hero 5 have auto White Balance, is it do not need red filter underwater?

[@backscatteruw]

All GoPro cameras have an auto white balance, and because of this they need the correct filter to obtain proper color underwater. The auto white balance alone cannot compensate for the loss of red light due to passage through the water column, and without manual white balance the camera needs help from the filter.

[@ericheung8238]

oh thx. i mixed up with olympus tg tracker 4 funtion.

[@thomasking8673]

where was this

[@backscatteruw]

This is in Monterey Bay, California.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome footage lol this looks amazing

[@backscatteruw]

Thanks!

[@takanishi21071979]

Please? could You look my Maldivian footages? 🤠

[@MrEdiluksic]

Time and date stamp?

[@backscatteruw]

Sorry, not sure I understand what you are asking here.

[@MrEdiluksic]

Backscatter sorry, I need a camera for my work and I need time and date stamp in video. Does it have that option? Thanks

[@backscatteruw]

Thanks for clarifying! Unfortunately the GoPro doesn't offer this, but there are many compact models that do. You can always pull this info from the metadata as well. Maybe give us a call and we can find the best system for you!

[@LuBiBochum]

Fantasic video. ! Greetings LuBi

[@tropicalbreeze8420]

Flip 4 sucked as did 3. Stevie Wonder could make a better setup. 2 times my filter snapped in half, because there is so much tension pulling on it to snap back and stay. It's so funny to see so many company's make products,that seems like a 12 year old designed.

[@backscatteruw]

It's very unusual that the filter would break like that. Please reach out to us at [e-mail] and we will be happy to address the issue and help you out.

[@darmantio]

Main failure you did ... uploading this video in 360p !!! and not in full supported resulution.

[@backscatteruw]

If you click on the settings icon in the video playback window you will be able to select 1080p. Enjoy!

[@darmantio]

I´m sorry. The only quallity i can find is 360p in the settings. No problem on other videos at all. Maybe ist KZbin ?!?!

[@whatdidijustmakeedits657]

darmantio it's 1080p

[@Montiman0]

GoPro still producing unusable blue footage at depth. It looks cool, but if you want a camera for diving DON'T buy a gopro

[@backscatteruw]

That is why we make a color correcting filter system: www.flipfilters.com/ The Flip 5 will create perfect underwater color for your GoPro on every dive.
