Here I show you why Osmo Action 3 is just an amazing camera, and a lot of people didn't know this about it.

Very nicely done and some great tips.

Thank you!
I don't think that many do know that they could do this

You're most welcome.  You're right about not many knowing for sure.

This was actually one of the first things I tested with it when it came out, and especially since GP11 have this I had to test it out more.

Glad you did test it out and for sure it will help others who were not in the know.  Thanks for being Mr. Tester.  Have a great weekend.  I'm headed out for a dive and to.....

Be careful when out diving, and enjoy your swim

You're very welcome.  Thanks for the reminder to be safe.  I always check and double check my gear and try to avoid any aggressive sharks that I come across.

Good to hear that!

Did you bring OA3 underwater aswell?

Well, did know. But never use it. It's depends on how you use cam. I will say, yes, just shoot 4:3 and you can frame later. Do have 360 cam, so i know the time you spend, reframing. The 360 rule is, max 5m from cam to get best image to reframe. So will say, same rule with 4:3. From 5m you get perspktive rule, 5-10m easy to shoot 16:9 or 9:16 will be in frame. And you still can pan cam. Use feet. But are you in a close up, situation, like fast shots, and short moments of interest, like birthdays, sports, animals, so on, reframing is 100% best option. Less panning, bigger chance to get the best image.  Am always shooting 16:9 wile fishing. Do get most, but my cams can eat 1tb on a long day, maybe 2-5 cams out, and the hardest part, sound. lol

The problem I often face when used as helmet cam is that framing often is not where I want it to show, and angle for camera depend if I plow snow or drive on trails.
Will think when I will be using it as pov while fishing in summer it will be the same, so for me I will mostly shoot in 4:3 most/all time for those cases.

1TB is a lot for fishing, would be better to just start/stop recording when something happen.

I had originally wanted to buy the OA3 but with the initial focus issues I went with the GoPro 11 instead.  Unfortunately, I didn't take the Go Pro 11 out with me yesterday.

Ah I see.
What you should brought it, record all what you see under water

That's a great plan.  However, I took my metal detector with me on this trip as it discriminates really well on gold objects so I had to limit what all I could carry down with me.

Not many do metal detecting under water or while diving, so there are probably a lot to find on seabed

You're absolutely right but you have to take a metal detector that is fully waterproof.  I have one that works great for land use but had to buy a 2nd one that is fully waterproof.  The waterproof one has already paid for itself in "finds".
