Gopro pictures

Payson · Nov 5, 2016

Hey everyone, so i only have my cell phone for to take pictures. I love taking my gopro with me on snorkel trips and vacations. Has anyone used a gopro in their tanks for pictures or videos? And if so how do they come out?

I bought the Hero5 black couple weeks ago. Pretty darn cool camera. Started looking into steel wool photography.

I played around in there a little, but the videos didnt download to my phone, i will record some more and play with the lights then do some uploads. This is really fun though!

What kind model do you'll have?

@Payson Try recording video in 1080 as your phone may not recognize 4k video file, at least that's what I did.

What i want to do tonight is put the camera in find a nice angle and either time lapse to watch my clown's activities. Im also interested to see what blue vs white ratio will be best with the camera

We just got a Gopro in Florida and got some underwater shots, but I have no idea what to do with them or how. I will ask hubby to help me figure it out. I want to add to my aquarium since you can get it in real time.

My fiancée just got me the GoPRO Session. I am going to try it out tonight on the tank, a great way to break it in.

I have one but haven't really played around with it in the tank though. I did find out though that water is a very good blocker of wifi. As soon as it got in the water, I lost the live view on my phone when the signal cut out.

First thing I did with mine is dunk it in my tank. Took very nice pictures with default camera settings. They also make color screen filters which I'd like to get my hands on.
