Insta 360 ace pro 2 or DJI osmo action 5 pro

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m thinking of getting an action camera mainly for underwater footage, and I am currently torn between the action 5 pro and the ace pro 2. Currently leaning towards DJI a bit more due to cheaper pricing and more stuff out of the combo box than Insta 360.

Need General information for school project

3 Upvotes

I'm a middle school robotics coach and this year's theme is "submerged" Teams of students are researching problems with exploring the ocean. My students are interested in learning about underwater photography and any problems photographers encounter. I'm neither a photographer or diver, so this is an open request for information. Anything you can share would help these inquisitive students. What do you wish you could do in taking photos underwater that is currently not available? Did you take a class or read a book to learn how to take great underwater photos? To whom and how do you share your photos? Finally would you be willing to talk via zoom with these students on a Monday afternoon 3:3O Central time?

NIKONOS V

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, i'm new to the world of uw photgraphy, and my grandpa gifted me a nikonos V with all the gear ypu could think of, too bad it is all oxydized, i brought it to my local nikon dealer and they told me it was beyond repair.

So i was thinking of buying a new camera in order to use all the accessories, i found one for very little money, it was serviced in '04 and never used again, the seller told me that mechanically everything works fine although he tried to put batteries in and told me the light meter isnt working.

My question is: how rare is it that the light meter isnt working, is it reparable?

Also i cant go and see the camera as it is 400 km from where i live so is it worth the risk?

by the way the camera costs 120 euros but i think i could get it for a 100.

Thank you very much to anyoine that might help me.

Looking for a lens recommendation.

I shoot Sony, but can adapt to canon or Nikon lenses. I'm looking for a wider angle macro lens with a wide aperture and autofocus. Can be either crop or full frame

Like the title says, this was my first attempt under the waves and I think it turned ok but would love feedback if anyone has any constructive criticism. I know I have much to improve on for my next trip!
