Hands up for the series of shooting on TG-7!
Thanks a lot for the valuable info and your point of view!
Please do a side by side TG7 vs. TG6 comparison by taking them underwater on the same tray if possible and compare use/adjustments/focus/etc. We need the definitive word from you 😀
You will be the first to do this AFAIK. I haven't seen anyone else does this comparison for underwater use anywhere.
The TG cameras are outstanding as underwater cameras. The smaller size really helps get close. I've used larger setups and for small stuff the equipment itself gets in the way but the TG cameras let you often sit your equipment right in front of the subject. Your footage including the comp and handling of the equipment is truly great and thanks for showing us! 🙏🏻
Would love to see a guide for the tg7/6! And definitely do a battery comparison!
Awesome video! Seems like a good set-up. Even though I am not currently diving but your videos are pulling me back in
This was a really great review! Looking to purchase one for my three months in Hawaii and this seems to be the camera that can't really be beat. As someone else said in the comments, so great to see an actual footage review! Look forward to seeing more of this series.
Glad that I found your vlog. This is what I’m interested about the underwater beauty. Thank you.
Great information. Would love to see a series of all functions, features and performance evaluation. I am primarily interested in photo, but you are peaking my interest in video. Thanks as always for you entertaining and informative videos!
Great review, thanks! The footage was beautiful, especially the squid at the very end😊
Happy New Year to you and fam hope the boat gets sorted.
Great review! Looking forward to future videos you mentioned especially on its photography features. 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Wow, so cool. Those shots are crisp.
amazing footage. Looking forward to seeing your instructional videos. Thank you.
Justin you got into it much more then I would’ve. Very nice !!
I'd definitely want to see your TG7 educational series based on your experience. Please do it!!!
Enjoyed the video greatly!! Thank you so much. My first underwater camera was an Olympus and I loved it. Then I transitioned to a Cisco Flip, the to GoPros. Having problems with my GoPros overheating while shooting underwater so I am looking for a new underwater camera. Because of your video I think I found my new one. Please do a side by side TG7 vs TG6 comparison and let me know. Thank you again.👍
Great video man. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Good Video Justin 😊.
Pictures 📸 look Excellent 👍.
Keep the video's comin.
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
From an average viewer point of view, the content is prime. Understandably, the tech angle is important for professional purposes, but obsessive nerdy hardware upgrades is important only so far as when a major improvement is noticeable to the layperson. Not a criticism though...
More vids for TG series please! Awesome!
A tutorial with the TG-6 would be nice. Definitely will look forward to it.
I went diving yesterday with the tg6 and it also has a short battery. I estimate I took about less than 15 mins 4k footage before the it died
Definitely awesome footage underwater from what I can see!
Yes, Justin. Please create/post more photo/video tip videos with the TG6/7.
Thanks for the video! What wide angle lens do you use? Thx
Baby octopus at 6:59 is great!
Cool. You got one. I was just looking at it on BS, looks like you got the entire package they offer. What a nudi fest! I can see the sand grains in macro mode. TG7 looks like a winner to me. This video ought to get a lot of views. Thanks!
Getting one myself....loved my 6, so Im curious to see what the main differences are.
Thank you Justin…I have both the Tg5 and Tg6, Im contemplating buying the Tg7. Love these cameras…I hope you do another F/u soon on the Tg7 comparison. I live in Panglao…Im in hawaii at the moment. How do I contact message you …than you!. I was at Mike’s Dauin resort this past November diving and I have dove with Atmosphere before…I would love to come dive with your new shop this January or February.. cheers! Tomas
Great video! This trick with WB setting underwater is so goood 🙏🏻 Is it possible to compare TG series with Gopro? In your opinion which is better for a underwater video? Does the TG has stabilization for shots on land shots?
Do a whole series on all the new TG-7! Please I’m considering getting it for my upcoming dive trip. 🎉
BTW, why is there a tinge of "yellow/green" hue/haze in the video? Can you adjust this in post-processing?
cool video 🎉 ❤
Seems interesting, I'm going to Java+Bali in a few months and I want something to photograph underwater. I have a Sony A7RV with different lenses to use, but it would need an underwater case which is around €1000 and for each lens that doesn't fit the case I have to buy a new tube that's about €600 I think so it would be very costly. And takes so much space in my bag... Now I'm tempted to buy this, but not sure about the quality yet.
Your new Sea Frog housing you have how do you rate it? I have a GH5 in a Sea Frog (Nauticam way too expensive) but its all to heavy when neutrally balanced with compensating weights for traveling. So...looking to down scale to the Tough 7 for practical reasons and seeing your videos. Love your videos, your macro shots are soo good. Love to come over from Denmark and dive your resort just bit of a hike getting there.
I don't really like it neutral because I put it on a tripod and want it weighed down to be steady
I'd love to see you review the now Apple Watch Ultra as a dive watch
Can you do a test with a wide angle? I know most scuba people use it for macro but I'm planning to use it for freediving and I want to know if I it's worth as an alternative to a gopro.
I got the tg2 so this would be s great upgrade
How do you counteract the current? Does the camera have a good video stabilizer? Is it the same for photos?
To counteract the current while diving, we use a combination of techniques such as proper body positioning, maintaining a streamlined profile, and utilizing natural features of the environment for support when necessary. Additionally, our cameras are equipped with excellent video stabilizers to ensure smooth footage even in challenging conditions. The stabilization features are effective for both videos and photos, ensuring clear and steady shots every time.
The output looks good, but did you have to do any editing to get what you have put here? I know I would have some learning to do, but did you do any editing of the color to get this output?
Slightly. But if you want your footage to look the best it can, you need to do some color grading
hi! I am looking for a setup similar to yours, to dive with mu TG7. What is this case model?
Footage looks great, but so did the tg6 videos you did. Definitely keen to see a settings video, I don't have lights (yet) though so im not sure how settings with lights translates to non light users
It's tough because light is the biggest asset
@@CritterHunter I know I need a light and tray badly. My photos would be so much better
I would love to see a full underwater macro tutorial with the TG7. I’ve been shooting for years with the TG5 and just unboxed my new 7. Time to up my skills along with the camera.
Are there differences between the TG5 and the TG7 in macro photography?
Your depth of field is contingent on illumination, I guess, so the optics are key? What about waterproof casings? How deep can you go with this?
60m
1:02 Hi, I love your video! I'm new and I'm not sure what it's called, but can you tell me about your camera handle setup and where I can get it?
Maybe backscatter.com
Hi. Those are cool videos of the nudis. Where in the Philippines is your dive shop located?
Dauin!
Hi, ich verfolge ihren Kanal auch schon eine ganze Weile. Bisher super Unterhaltung und tolles Filmmaterial. Unbedingt dran bleiben. Ich selbst nutze seit Jahren auch eine TG-6. Hauptsächlich für Makroaufnahmen. Also kenne ich die Akkuproblem der TG-6 auch sehr gut. Eine Lösung wäre das Weefine TG-6 Pro Gehäuse. Denn es enthält einen internen Akku der an die Kamera angeschlossen werden kann und so die Akkubetrieb auf ca. 6 Stunden erhöhen kann. Und das beste ist meiner Meinung nach, dass nun auch die Möglichkeit besteht, endlich einen Monitor verwenden zu können. Der ebenfalls über diesen internem Akku betrieben wird und für Makroaufnahmen eine absolute Bereicherung darstellt aufgrund des viel größeren Display. Ich denke das es eine gute Möglichkeit bietet die bekannten Probleme diesbezüglich aufzufangen.
Eine ausführliche Serie über die TG-6 ubd TG-7 würfe ich ausdrücklich begrüßen.
Machen Sie weiter so. Toller Kanal.
Grüße aus Deutschland
What??? I can use 2 batteries, and plug in an external monitor on a tg7?? I need this housing, that's awesome
@@CritterHunter
Ja kannst du😊
Schau die von der Firma Weefine das neue Gehäuse für die TG-6 an. Nennt sich Weefine TG-6 housing Pro.
Dort kannst du die TG-5/TG-6 und TG-7 reinpacken. Gibt auch ein Video auf YT dazu.
That’s awesome. That companies are sending you products to review now.😀
This one didn't
yes series please of tg 7.. does it use the same housing as tg 6? even if dimensions are different? sorry newb here..
Yes same
Nice work.
What housing are you using please
Seafrogs
Thanks! I will buy my first underwatercamera, mainly to use on Holidays with kids, take pictures of the, under water in the sea and in the pool. Like macros too. Would you reccomend buying TG-6 or TG-7?
7
Premium content. Getting one before i visit critter Republic in February 😁
Da poco mi sono comprato una olympus tg 7, e nel video ho visto che hai una scafandro per olympus tg6. Ma funziona lo stesso se ciò solo la tg 7?
Sì, di solito gli accessori per modelli simili sono compatibili. Potresti verificare la compatibilità specifica con il produttore per essere sicuro.
Grazie
Where is this series for the camera? Did you ever do it?
Not yet
@@CritterHunter that’s funny that you are in the Philippines because that’s exactly why I bought the camera, an upcoming trips to the Philippines
@@fafausto47 well we own a dive center in Dauin if you want to come try out that camera on some awesome critters
What wide angle lens are you using?
Also do you use a macro lens as well or is this solely just the cameras macro capabilities?
I don't really use any lens
Would love the tutorial. 🙏🏼
Hello. Can Seafrog tg6 housing fit with tg7 camera? I want to upgrade to tg7. Thanks
Yep
@@CritterHunter yep means tg7 camera possible to fit in tg6 housing right? Thanks
@@CritterHunter I saw in your video, Do you actually put the TG7 inside the seafrog TG 6 housing right? Thanks
@@SGManhHa yep. I'm not sure there is a tg7 case yet or not
i which they had increased the 4K fps from 30 to 60 at least
is it possible to dive when a person has anxiety attach issues
Yes. We will consult our scuba doctor together and see what we can do, but it's not a big roadblock and worth a try
Everything I have read about "improvements" with the TG7 don't really do anything for UW photographers...they benefit OW photography. Therefore, there's no big incentive to upgrade over the Six. The macro subjects are great as always and never seen that species of black and white headshield slug before.
Maybe not if you already have a tg6. Up to you. But if not, just go straight to the best
Ge thanks now I will need to order a tg7
Haha be glad I didn't do more reviews then lol
First!
👍😎🇵🇭🤿! Not much of a photographer but I always enjoy your videos and content 👍!
I appreciate that!
