- Being at Sipadan last week and seeing how the fish life has improved after years of what seemed to me like decline has given me renewed hope that the ocean can recover if we let it.
This project was shot entirely on a GoPro Hero 10 and AOI UWL-03 wide wet lens. The camera was housed in a Hugyfot Vision XS which has a fantastic 5 inch screen that's great for framing shots. I left the production camera at home and travelled light.
The amazing GoPro action camera has been a popular choice for divers. It's tiny, simple to use, shoots high frames rates, handles low light fairly well and doesn't cost a fortune compared with other cameras and housings. However, I always found the field of view too narrow underwater for my liking. The AOI wet lens fixes this by giving the GoPro a corrected FOV of 140°. Corners are sharp and the image is clear and not distorted. Close focus is also drastically improved.
I'll be speaking about this setup at the Malaysia International Dive Exhibition (MIDE) this weekend. If you are visiting, please do drop by the AOI booth to check for the Q&A times. Alternatively, you can look for me at the Fourth Element booths.
Many thanks to GoPro for the camera and accessories, and to AOI for the wet lens and all the mounts. The 5 dives at Sipadan would not have been this good without the expertise of Global Sipadan Dive Adventures and of course my gear sponsors at Fourth Element.

Definitely powerful for video. If you're not going for stills I feel like this is maybe the best option for me, although a budget solution. I see that Backscatter has a housing and 140 lens for 300 or so dollars, swappable filters too. The only issue is overheating I suppose but the compacts also struggle with this.
Yes! The AOI UWL-03 lens can work with the original GoPro housing! And backscatter has a mount for it which will allow for their filters too! 👍
Lovely footage.
Thank you! 😊 🙏
can i ask what video light are you using？
Awesome , Kay!
Thanks bro! 😊🙏
Very nice !
Thanks! 😊
Love your video!!! It’s awesome
I wonder if you can help me out, I’m form Ecuandor and I’m trying to start on underwater photography/videography but I can’t afford an DSRL camera and housing. I recently got a GoPro hero10, where can I get one of those housing? And how do you mount the lens to it?
Sorry I missed this buddy. I replied to you on Instagram 😊🙏
Very nice! What’s the view setup when attached this lens (superview or wide)?
Thanks! You should use wide mode with this UWL-03 lens. Superview will have distorted corners 😉
@@KayBurn i already used wide mode but the corner still there up right corner and up 🎉left corner ...i use housing gopro original too. Can you help me how setting without "corner".Thankyou
@@carolinagunadi6213 it shouldn't be like that. Can you check that the holder on the GoPro housing is fit properly and tight against the housing itself.
Yes you are right...😅, thank you😊
Hi, can I know your settings of ISO max and EV comp for this footage? thanks
hi bro. may I know which video light did you use? thanks
Hey bro. I used 2x Fisheye Japan 10,000 lumens lights, mostly at 50 to 75% power. To be honest, it's not powerful enough to light up entire schools... But then again even more powerful lights wouldn't.
I'm about to test using Magic Filters in combination with a new video light that is high CRI, single COB led, 6000 lumens and has an ambient light filter. The light is tiny and has a really wide soft beam angle... More than most other brands. And the best thing.... It's incredibly affordable compared to everything else on the market with similar specs. Spare batteries are also inexpensive.
I plan to test early Nov in Maldives and late Nov in Raja Ampat with various filter combinations. I have high expectations and will recommend if all works well! It should give a much better result than this.
Did you used the video light for take these videos?
Only a very few shots where the subjects came close. I used only low powered video lights at times 😉
hey man, just wondering if i detach the handle from the mount can i still screw it into the camera tray?
Sorry, had no signal last 5 days at Raja Ampat. Yes. You can remove the handle and mount to a tray! 😊
@@KayBurn it would be nice if you can show me a picture of the base of the adaptor, so i can have a clearer picture in mind ✌🏻
Unfortunately, I don't have the adapter on me at the moment. If you could please try send me a message on my Facebook account a week from now when I'm back, I can take a photo for you.
I use my AOI lens on A Hugyfot housing so I left the adapter at home.
@@KayBurn i messaged you on insta!
Were you able to put in a filter before/inside the lens?
I didn't use a filter here.
@@KayBurn But is it possible, I read that there are certain depths that needed filters so the colors aren't too blue.
Yes, but a filter does help. When set at native white balance, you can still edit and bring out some of the colours. A red filter making it easier, however it won't work at depths deeper than 20 to 25m and shallower than 5m, things get reddish.
If you use a video light and it's powerful enough to reach your subject, you don't need a red filter either.
@@siloamsurio you can edit the video, the GoPro 11 is really good. I don’t use filter at all
@@KayBurnthis helps a lot. Thank you for this. I am using GP hero10 also. I can learn from watching your videos and reading your comments. Thank you.
请问你有是用什么video light ？
I used 2 x 5000 lumens lights from Fisheye Japan. But only for a bit of colour. It's impossible to light the whole school 😅
@@KayBurn 请问你可以分享一下补光灯应该要如何配搭吗？比如说需要买支架？
@@KayBurn can u share the video light model for me？
@@edmondteng8291 it was a pair of Fisheye Japan FIX Aquavolt Mini 5000 lights 😊
@@KayBurn thank bro and the last question may I know the GoPro got Install Hand Grip Stabilizer?
Do u have Instagram account ? I would like to pm you for more info about this setup I might buy
Hi Desmond. Not sure but I think I'm already chatting with you on Insta about it.
Just go and get one with a tray, go pro 10 is just fine. You also need a couple of medium power video lights to add colour up close. No video lights work at long distance anyway. You won't look back, this is an excellent point and shoot system for moderate outlay compared to other housed camera systems. Shoot on extended battery with go pro 10 and remember to remove the lens and swipe all the bubbles off the go pro housing lens and back and front of the AOI lens when you get in the water.
