GoPro filter

[GHsaltie]

So I just got my GoPro hero 4 in the mail today and I was wondering if anyone has advice as to a filter I can get to cut out some of the blue from lights or if there are settings I can mess with that might help. Also if anyone else has one and just wants to give tips as to general use, what works good for you etc. it's certainly welcome. I've had a canon dslr before but it's been a few years and I've never been terribly camera savvy.

Thank you, I forgot to tag you but I was hoping you'd see it! So you think the three pack would be sufficient? On the Best Buy one it says the magenta removes blue/green and the red balanced light in tropical water. That's kind of vague for me, what color would it be balancing in tropical water? And for filming my tank or while diving would I want to use the magenta or red? Or would it vary depending on lighting? (that question is geared more towards while diving.) Also, while filming with a filter on would it affect normal lighting or no? Like if I went from filming my tank to walking around for instance. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to have a slight idea as to what I'm doing.

Exactly that.

And for filming my tank or while diving would I want to use the magenta or red?

the amber is best for that. the filter remove exactly the opposite color on the spectrum, we have too much blue so the opposite is oranges.

Also, while filming with a filter on would it affect normal lighting or no?

It may make it warmer yes.

Thank you very much. Hopefully I'll get it figured out before my trip later next month.
