This is the first test of my Osmo Action 3 Underwater. It is in Lanzarote and not the North Sea which of course helps. Initial thoughts are I am very pleased. Anyone else used it much underwater

Great footage!

---DELETED---

Just make sure all doors are shut correctly lol

Had another go. Quite good for the money I think perhaps one day I will try 4K lol

Very clear for underwater.

I would not dare to put the camera underwater without a case even if it’s waterproof without one. Too scary. Or I'm just too paranoid.

...and that's what I love about this camera. No case needed. I have replaced my Insta360 RS ONE and that was one of the reasons.

I dunked mine  see below if like.   good luck a case is required, not recommended or suggested, required.  lens protector a must must be  correctly seated , especially that  supur thin o-rong

Nice watertight test of the OA3.

Well it is what it is designed to do like most of the recent action cams

Yup not bad and also the sun was not in the best position. It was Lanzarote rather than the U.K. though lol

When I was in Lanzarote the sea was too rough for that sort of thing so you must have lucked out with the weather.

Seems to perform pretty well.

Yes we have been here many times and never had weather and wind this good. Looks like it it continue for more days
Here is a video from yesterday with some more underwater stuff. You can see how good the conditions are

Yes I a pleased with it. Better than just using my IPhone as I was before.

Yes wish there was some place to fly your drone here but so many no fly zones I left it at home

Thats it,  tease me with food.     We stopped in Puerto Del Carmen on the way back to the airport on our last day there to kill time.  It was quite early and nothing much was open.

At least you found a viable alternative

Yes it seems to work well and has many practical features that I like as posted in the thread why I like it.

If any one is interested you can see the difference between this OA3 and what I used to use which was an IPhone 8 on my little You Tube channel here

The later approx 13 videos being filmed with the OA3

Are you going to get one or having a sit on that wooden thing for a while

I have no plans to get one, so no risk of splinters

I was really happy with mine.  First time underwater as well.  no case.

Nice post!
Do you guys know if there is an underwater Dome for the action 3?
I can only find 1 for the action 1..
Or does another 1 fit for the action 3..

Thx!
