This vid has a quick rundown on the accessories you need for the GoPro Hero 7 to get ready for taking it spearfishing.
This is the first vid in a series - How to Use the GoPro 7 Black (for Spearfishing)

External Hard Drive:
Don’t use your internal storage to store video files as this will slow your system down. Label your video files in a way you will remember and put them into files. At least as a basic idea try 3 folders for each trip; Top Shots, B-Roll, Meh. Everything else can go in the bin. This one amzn.to/30XOH03 is WD 8TB, its USB 3 and well priced:)
Decent PC for editing:
You need a fast rig with a good video card to create nice vids. If you make good video’s people other than your Mum will watch and lets be honest, YoungBloods & Daniel Mann need some competition. Be extra specially careful with your PC choice if you are considering filming and editing in 4K.
Spare Batteries and Charging Station:
You can only expect 45-90 minutes juice out of the GoPro 7 Black battery so having some spare Batteries for a full days diving is crucial. If you take a look at third party brands, check out Wasabi or Smatree but I bought the GoPro branded ones.

Supersuit:
The Supersuit (not Smart Suit) keeps your shiny new GoPro safe and watertight to 60m. It also keeps out dust and protects it from bumps and scratches.

SD Card/s:
The GoPro 7 Black demands a high speed/high reliability SD card. No matter what card you buy, reformat it often.

Lexar 1000X u3 amzn.to/2QBk8Za
Delkin 1900x V60 amzn.to/2QE6TH3
64GB is perfect for about 2 batteries worth of footage (at 2.7K)
Headstrap:
This is arguably the best 1st person mount for spearos.

All the funds are used for spearfishing trips and adventures. First stop Melbourne Australia later this year (September, 2019)
LOL Shrek, this was a great ride into the past, but funny as hell to watch! Cheers for being real. Dive safe mate, have fun! 👍😆🍻
Good stuff good luck with the channel you got a subscribe
Wow amazing thank you so much
Thanks for leaving in all of the bloopers. Makes me feel far better about having a go myself. 👍
Any time! I'm slowly getting better - I think I need to make more to get better though:)
Awesome advice mate 👍
Cheers!
Nice Video Mate
Cheers Alby👍
Do you not like the masks with a gopro mount built in? I use a Cressi action mask and have the super suit screwed into it. Once you set the angle of the super suit on the mask then it's fixed in place and you have the same angle every time you dive. I found it really useful, might not be great for everyone but could help?
Yeah I thought about that too, they seem popular but I've never used one. If you bump your head (caves, overhangs, weed etc), does the mask flood?
I haven't had any problems like that, only been using it for a year. For me its been worth the money
@@ryane8881 cool TBH I've has little to do with them so I was hesitant to recommend any. Thanks for the suggestion:)
Quick Question- Do you ever have a hard time knowing if camera is on or off between dives. I can't hear the beep with my wetsuit hood on.
@@augolden1 sometimes, I make sure the beep sound is high. I'm also not splashing around when I press the buttons and I can hear well enough but yeah can be tricky sometimes
Great video! What editing software do you use?
Hey Elkanah, cheers man. I used Movavi for this video but now I use Davinci Resolve
Do you recommend the go pro headstrap for scuba diving?
Yeah for sure. You are less likely to flood your mask from the GoPro hitting a cave roof or wreck etc. If you have an integrated mask with GoPro mount this can happen!
@@NoobSpearoSpearfishing thank you so much for the quick answer
Hey can you tell me how much you angle the gopro downwards?, Because i just saw my own footage and half of the video my gopro was above the water line and its really frustrating
Ps i also use a head strap
I'm still adjusting myself. I had mine pointed too far forwards. Get a mate to look at it side on and make sure it's more or less flush with your mask lenses then put your hand up and feel how it's sitting. You should be able to fine tune it a bit in the water yourself after you have the feel for where it should be. Hope this helps
Great stuff. Do check my Spearfishing content I hope I am doing it right haha
