I own lots of underwater housings: Olympus 8080, Olympus u720, Hammerhead for Sony handycams, Meikon for Sony RX100, GoPro 3 Black. All of them have flat viewports, none of them gave distortion. What have I done wrong? ;)
You haven't done anything wrong, AS LONG AS the plane of the housing glass is parallel to the lens plane...
It it is different, you WILL suffer from distortion.
A Dome is much more reliable, AND because a DOME should be larger ( to ensure proper focus on the sphere surface (Underwater optics 101) ) it would also allow you to:
- get the FULL or almost FULL stabilization from the osmo pocket;
- allow you to get those "half under/half over" shots that are super nice.
PEOPLE FROM DJI, WAKE UP!!!
This flashlight-alike design is just plain stupid, inefficient, limitative, poor, completely wrong, and not suitable for underwater filming.
Osmo Pocket COULD BE the greatest thing for underwater stabilization because it is physical stabilization and not digital as osmo action or gopro, and you do this??? A full shot in the foot...
PLEASE use a dome.
PLEASE ASK scuba divers.
ALSO... PLEASE review the o-ring system. ANY ONE will tell you that CLAMPS are better that a screw OVER two touching surfaces... if the screw ring unscrews unnoticed... as soon as you get to the surface your housing will flood. Deep down, maybe not, because of the pressure but at 1 meter down... it will.
Come on guys... you should be smarter.... |
