available. I always mount at least two on the handle support, often adding a third for the comparative tests I publish on this site. For POV (Point of View) shots, which I particularly love and that characterize my style, I still use a HERO12 mounted on the \u201cChesty\u201d. When conditions allow, I choose to dedicate a HERO13 exclusively to shots out of the water. My workdays are extremely frantic and the pace is tight: one can pass in a few moments from snorkeling with dolphins to a deep dive, then landing on a deserted beach. In this incessant succession of scenarios, having to constantly insert or remove the camera from the underwater housing, change supports and reconfigure GoPro Labs parameters is a luxury I cannot afford. Having a camera body dedicated to external shots ensures I never miss the perfect moment due to an equipment change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38e3b72 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"38e3b72\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10dba6a elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"10dba6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-23273\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto.jpg 900w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-Egitto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c116959 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c116959\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60d3a87 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60d3a87\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17c0ea6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"17c0ea6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-17c0ea6{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1218ee6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1218ee6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Buyer\u2019s Guide: the Ideal HERO<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a0f6e9 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a0f6e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-23278\" alt=\"In questa foto si vedono le GoPro che ho utilizzato in un recente liveabord in Egitto.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoPro-sul-pozzetto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79590dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79590dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-79590dd{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c95aa06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c95aa06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To achieve maximum flexibility and quality, I undoubtedly recommend the HERO13: as you will discover while exploring the different sections of this site, it is the model that best caters to underwater filming needs. However, starting from the HERO11, the 8:7 sensor and 10-bit color already guarantee excellent results. In particular, the almost square 8:7 format captures a very wide portion of the scene, offering incredible versatility during editing by allowing clips to be cropped vertically for social media or horizontally for YouTube without losing quality. When choosing, it is also essential to consider the advantage offered by the new GoPro Labs functions specific to diving, which operate optimally only on the latest models (HERO12 and HERO13). Notable among these are stabilization optimized for the aquatic environment and the ability to manage red channel intensity based on depth, as detailed in the dedicated sections. Nevertheless, the HERO13 represents a significant leap forward compared to the 12; the differences emerge especially when using color profiles like Log or Flat (which require dedicated post-production) or specific GoPro Labs diving settings. The longer battery life and superior preset customization lead me to always recommend purchasing the HERO13 as the ultimate investment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b164d21 elementor-hidden-mobile

against impacts and debris. Once the camera is encased, mechanical interaction is limited to the &#8220;Mode&#8221; and &#8220;Shutter&#8221; button actuators, as water pressure and the thickness of the polycarbonate completely disable the rear screen\u2019s touch functionality.<\/p><p>Technically, the system&#8217;s primary drawback is the unavailability of official replacement O-rings. If needed, the gasket from the &#8220;skeleton&#8221; backdoor (the open one included in the kit) can be used as a temporary workaround; however, if the main O-ring shows signs of deformation or micro-tears, replacing the entire housing is the only reliable way to ensure the camera&#8217;s safety. For technical divers or those exceeding recreational depth limits, the standard polycarbonate housing may be insufficient due to material compression. In these scenarios, CNC-machined aluminum housings are required, as they provide undeformable structural resistance even under extreme pressure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d87a91 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1d87a91\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78ff61b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"78ff61b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3e90e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3e90e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-a3e90e4{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ec4814 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7ec4814\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Anti fog inserts<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e1c936 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6e1c936\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/inserti_antiappannamento_rid-e1752987718271.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12219\" alt=\"In questa foto si vede una confezione da 20 Inserti Antiappannamento Compatibili con GoPro Hero\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/inserti_antiappannamento_rid-e1752987718271.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/inserti_antiappannamento_rid-e1752987718271-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/inserti_antiappannamento_rid-e1752987718271-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bed32f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bed32f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-bed32f5{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acceaaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acceaaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The formation of condensation inside the housing is a physical phenomenon caused by the thermal shock between the heat generated by the GoPro\u2019s electronics and the lower temperature of the surrounding water; residual moisture trapped in the housing condenses on the coldest internal surface\u2014typically the lens\u2014compromising light refraction. To counteract this effect, specific absorbent inserts are required: these are small rectangles made of hygroscopic fibrous material designed to capture excess moisture. I always use two per housing, placing them away from the screens. These inserts can be thermally regenerated to restore their absorption capacity by placing them in an oven at 150\u00b0C for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to exceed that time as they will then stiffen. However, the fiber tends to deteriorate after two or three cycles, after which the absorption power drops drastically. To clean the lenses (both GoPro and housing), I use only high-quality microfiber cloths, which are essential for removing smudges or fingerprints without scratching the surfaces or damaging the optical coatings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70a50fa elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70a50fa\"

GoPro&#8217;s power is a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, designed to offer high energy density in small dimensions. The batteries I use are exclusively original GoPro ones: this choice ensures voltage stability and protection against risks that can occur with third-party products, such as excessive overheating and poor runtime. The operating time varies based on the resolution and transmission speed settings; by carefully managing the power-ups, a single battery is normally sufficient for the footage taken during a dive. To avoid risking the compromise of filming sessions, it is necessary to always carry an adequate number of batteries, in a ratio of at least two per camera body. In the event you are on a liveaboard vessel and more than three daily dives are planned, the ratio must necessarily be at least three batteries per camera. To optimize charging times between dives, the use of a high-speed multi-charger is appropriate. Before departing on a trip, I always verify the compatibility of electrical outlets and voltage standards of the destination country, equipping myself with the necessary adapters for charging. Since on all vessels for fire safety reasons charging batteries inside cabins is not permitted, I suggest marking each battery with a permanent marker. This practice is essential for logistical management in communal charging areas, preventing accidental swaps with other divers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec5fbad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ec5fbad\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b009699 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b009699\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bfd5e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1bfd5e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-1bfd5e8{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdffd2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdffd2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\nBattery life test<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b4ad29 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9b4ad29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14953\" alt=\"Questa foto mostra il livello batteria a 225 minuti.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti.jpg 900w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/livello-batteria-a-225-minuti-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56ea3e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56ea3e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-56ea3e0{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98aebaa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98aebaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I recently conducted a comparative test on the battery life of the latest GoPro generations: HERO11, HERO12, and HERO13. By setting the resolution to 1080p and 30fps (with Protune disabled), the HERO11 was the first to power off after 2 hours and 4 minutes. It was followed by the HERO12, which ended its runtime at 2 hours and 20 minutes. The HERO13, however, lasted up to the declared 2 hours and 30 minutes. Even just 10 extra minutes of recording represents a crucial factor during a dive where, as we know, it is not possible to replace the battery. To maximize the charge duration, it is essential to deactivate functions that remain completely unused once below the surface, such as GPS, Wi-Fi, and voice commands. Since water shields and absorbs radio signals, these modules, if left active, consume energy needlessly in an attempt to establish an impossible connection. These are important technical steps that we will further explore in the section dedicated to optimal GoPro settings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

new 1900 mAh unit of the HERO13. The fastest was an Enduro, fully charged in 1 hour and 45 minutes, followed by the second one at 1 hour and 52 minutes. For the new 1900 mAh battery, however, it took a full 4 hours and 14 minutes. This is a significantly long time to consider for repetitive dives: it becomes fundamental to have at least two or three batteries for each GoPro to ensure coverage for the entire day. This increase in timing is due to the higher energy density of the new cell, which requires longer charging cycles to preserve its integrity. However, I appreciated the HERO13 charger, now equipped with LED indicators to monitor progress. Compared to the previous models, it is a very useful improvement that allows for an immediate check between dives, avoiding the need to insert the battery into the GoPro to verify the remaining percentage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-146198c elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"146198c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afd9ade elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"afd9ade\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a42a2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"55a42a2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fa94fd e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5fa94fd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3cd588 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c3cd588\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-c3cd588{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5c8a06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5c8a06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Batteries and charging: the risk of fire<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cde9c58 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cde9c58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1117\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-24534\" alt=\"In questa foto si vede una GoPro danneggiata da un principio d&#039;incendio durante la ricarica.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Batteries-and-charging-the-risk-of-fire-MOB-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1117px) 100vw, 1117px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0079fd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0079fd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-0079fd0{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f97cb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f97cb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Charging management is a critical safety issue, as shown by the unpleasant experience of a friend of mine who, despite using original components, found herself handling a situation of real danger. While the GoPro was connected directly to a USB outlet via a USB-C cable, in less than an hour the connector literally melted, triggering a fire. Only her immediate presence prevented the flames from spreading, which would have led to untold consequences in a critical scenario such as,&nbsp;for example, a boat. This episode highlights two crucial points. The first, and most important, concerns our safety: you should never leave equipment charging unattended. An electrical malfunction can turn into an uncontrollable fire in just a few minutes, no matter where you are. The second concerns the risk to the equipment: in the event of a malfunction during internal charging, you don&#8217;t just lose the battery, but the entire camera. For this reason, I strongly recommend using an external battery charger and only charging when you are present and able to intervene promptly, or by using the designated charging areas typically found on liveaboard boats.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faaedae e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"faaedae\"

exclusively for selfies, as I strongly advise against it for standard use since it cannot offer the stability of a solid tray with handles. The problem is purely physical: the further the pole is extended, the more any slight wrist movement is transmitted in an accentuated way to the GoPro, making the footage unstable. If a pole is the only support available, the suggestion is to always use it at its minimum length and as close to the body as possible; keeping your elbows tucked firmly against your sides helps create a solid base that drastically reduces micro-movements. Another fundamental aspect concerns safety and environmental protection: during the swim, and especially when moving through tight spaces such as wrecks or crevices, the pole must be kept completely retracted. An extended pole is difficult to control and increases the risk of accidentally hitting marine life or damaging the GoPro itself. Unfortunately, these pieces of equipment often have a limited lifespan: after a certain number of dives, they either start failing to lock in the extended position or, conversely, they seize up, making it impossible to pull them out. As we will see in the maintenance section, in addition to rinsing with fresh water, I always recommend periodically spraying a lubricant like WD-40 while moving the sections up and down.Should you decide to purchase this type of support, it is best to opt for lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials, such as anodized aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring the use of a 1\/4\u2033 tripod eyelet for a secure clip-on attachment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1633eb4 elementor-hidden-mobile

point, bringing my videos to a significantly higher level of stability and precision. Composed of a base to fix the GoPro and side arms that serve as handles, this structure not only offers incomparable solidity but also makes framing and following the movements of subjects much simpler and more targeted thanks to far greater maneuverability. Over the years, my equipment has evolved: I started with a small tray that barely held a single camera, later moving to larger models like my current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flex-arm.com\/it\/staffe-subacquee\/staffe-custodie-fotografia-subacquea\/staffa-custodie-fotografia-subacquea.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flex-Arm<\/a> technopolymer configuration. The latter, which is 32 cm long, allows me to mount up to three GoPros simultaneously and, thanks to the greater distance between the hands, guarantees even more stable footage. The tray also helps reduce hand and arm fatigue and, for those who might need to use lights for night dives, it offers the ideal setup to fix them conveniently. Despite a higher cost compared to the classic extension pole, it proves to be the most effective investment for anyone aiming for a real leap in quality in their underwater videos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6919990 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6919990\" data-element_type=\"container\"

essential accessory. This system offers the best balance between safety and practicality: the spiral structure, equipped with a quick-release buckle, keeps the GoPro tucked against your gear when not in use. <br \/>By opening the clip, the leash extends to allow full movement for framing and shooting, while closing it removes any bulk, preventing loose cables from snagging.<br \/>However, not all clips are equal. The weak point of this system is often the included carabiners, which are usually made of cheap materials prone to oxidation or accidental opening under stress. <br \/>To ensure the leash does its job, I replaced the original components with high-quality climbing carabiners. These provide superior structural strength and a much more reliable spring than standard products. It is a small investment that ensures total peace of mind, especially in currents or complex conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

structural failure of the plastic parts of the clip, which can weaken due to wear, aging, or manufacturing defects. As documented in the video shot in the Red Sea, a diver risked losing their GoPro despite it being secured with a clip from a well-known brand; in the photo of the piece, you can see how the plastic component failed. Fortunately, the GoPro was not lost because it was promptly recovered by the guide, but the episode highlights how thin the line is that separates us from losing our equipment. I therefore recommend performing regular inspections of every attachment system, verifying the integrity of the joints, and not delegating the safety of the Action Cam to the lanyard alone. It is fundamental to maintain a firm grip during &#8220;critical&#8221; situations, such as entering the water or when in the blue: the spiral clip should be considered only as extra support and never the sole guarantee against the accidental loss of the device.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16e0d4a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"16e0d4a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0ff777 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b0ff777\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12eb5a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"12eb5a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/perde-la-gopro.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/cover.jpeg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ee248d elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4ee248d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a68e29 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6a68e29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dbaba2 elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5dbaba2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3744718 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3744718\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-3744718{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19e2cae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19e2cae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Extra Equipment: Advanced Gear<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6967288 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6967288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-6967288{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86db83e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86db83e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this section I present my unconventional equipment, meaning those particular tools that I have selected and adapted over time.

pole, the Chesty has become over time a distinctive element of my style, allowing me to show the movement of the filming itself and making the viewer part of the action. Despite the great aesthetic value for POV shots, stability is not always optimal and it is difficult to control the framing with precision: from experience, I recommend pointing the camera slightly higher than seems necessary, as the natural tendency is to crop the top part of the image. Another critical aspect is managing the power-on; not having the screen easily visible, it is essential to rely on the audio signals (beep) and always do a double check to be certain that recording has started. To optimize the system, I use a 60 mm ball joint extension and a Flat Load Adapter: this combination guarantees me the flexibility for unique angles such as, for example, water entry or climbing the ladder.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d89b1f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

refraction) and to drastically expand the focus range from 7 cm to infinity, a value much closer than the 25-30 cm average of the original GoPro lens. Furthermore, it maintains a sharp image even at the edges, unlike the standard optics which often show distortions and chromatic aberrations. The lens attaches directly to the protective housing via a practical bayonet system (sold separately), which allows it to be mounted and removed with ease even during the dive.<\/p><p>My field experience has confirmed the excellence of this lens. The close-up focus allows for wide-angle shots with very near subjects, while keeping the background sharp. The image quality is surprising, especially on the lateral edges where quality loss is usually found. In shots of coral reefs, wrecks, and close-ups of &#8220;static&#8221; subjects (such as, for example, anemones or stonefish), this lens has no equal and can truly make the difference.<\/p><p>There are, however, some downsides. In shots of pelagics, or animals that stay distant, the lens tends to &#8220;push&#8221; the subject too far away. Shooting in 5.3K allows for cropping in post-production, but if the recording is made in low light or at great depths, video noise can become critical. In anticipation of encounters in the blue, I therefore recommend using a second GoPro or equipping the base with a lens holder (like the one from the Japanese INON) that I have positioned on a handle.<\/p><p>Another limitation concerns shots at the water&#8217;s surface, for example the divers&#8217; entry: water droplets will inevitably remain on the lens with the risk of ruining the footage. After entering the water, one must also pay attention to air bubbles that almost always get trapped between the housing and the lens. They usually vanish after a few minutes but, if you film immediately, the clips will be ruined, as happened in the video with the Lion Fish in Hurghada. To remove them, simply unscrew and rescrew the lens, an operation to be done with extreme care to avoid losing the lens in the blue.<\/p><p>Finally, the bulk and weight (330 g on land, 170 g in water) can be inconvenient for those using the extension pole. Great care must also be taken when handing the equipment to the crew (always using the provided neoprene protection) and in the presence of currents near rocks or wrecks, as scratching the glass is very easy.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-640c490 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"640c490\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Gocce-su-lente-AOI-UWL-03.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Gocce-su-lente-AOI-UWL-03.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdcef9f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"cdcef9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Gocce-incastrate-su-lente-AOI-UWL-03.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlslist=\"nodownload\" poster=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Gocce-incastrate-su-lente-AOI-UWL-03.jpg\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbcc5a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bbcc5a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Combination with GoPro Labs DIVE setting<br \/><\/b>When using the GoPro underwater with the standard lens, the refractive index of water reduces the field angle and alters the image geometry. The Labs DIVE extension serves precisely to compensate for this effect via software, helping the electronic stabilization work correctly in the aquatic environment. With a dedicated underwater lens like the AOI-UW 03, however, the refraction is already physically compensated by the optics themselves. The lens restores a behavior very similar to that in air, correcting the field angle and distortion before the light reaches the sensor. In this case, also activating DIVE means applying a double compensation, with the risk of slightly altering the stabilization or the geometry of the image. For this reason, with the AOI-UW 03 and other similar lenses, it is generally preferable to deactivate DIVE and let the optics handle the correction entirely.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

GoPro between different supports instantaneous, allowing you to switch it, for example, from the handle base to a tripod with a single gesture and without unscrewing anything. It has been useful countless times, especially for quickly replacing the main GoPro with the backup mounted on the Chesty in case of a dead battery. The solidity of the connection guarantees security, preventing accidental releases. The iSHOXS Small Grab Pro (60mm) ball head arm is an accessory that I always mount between the Chesty and the GoPro, as it allows for precise adjustment of the POV framing, an operation otherwise difficult with the direct mount. On the surface I often pair it with the iSHOXS ProMount to create unconventional shots, exploiting its flexibility to find the perfect angle even in the most complex positions. This system transforms a static support into a dynamic tool, adaptable to every creative need.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0d8979 elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a0d8979\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69a0902 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"69a0902\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f4875a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2f4875a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6daf3c4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6daf3c4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ccac1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76ccac1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-76ccac1{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e505ebf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e505ebf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tripod<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6056ae elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e6056ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone-768x515.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-15098\" alt=\"In questa foto si vede il Treppiede Flessibile agganciato a un moschettone.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone-600x402.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cavalletto-e-moschettone.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43df948 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43df948\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-43df948{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d5a0b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d5a0b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another accessory in my kit for &#8220;special&#8221; shots is the flexible tripod. Although it can be difficult to find a stable surface to place it on, especially in the presence of current, it is a fundamental tool for capturing clips that are impossible to achieve handheld. The flexible legs allow it to wrap around rocks or pipes, ensuring a steady grip even on uneven underwater terrain. I used it, for example, for filming the very shy garden eels (<em>Heteroconger hassi<\/em>) in the Maldives, where the only way to film them is to position the camera and patiently move away. It was also useful for full-body &#8220;selfie&#8221; shots, where I wanted to show the entire movement of the finning stroke. For transport, I equipped it with an eyelet (1\/4\u2033 male thread) to which I attached a mountaineering carabiner. This system allows me to clip it securely to the D-ring of my BCD, keeping it always within reach on my side in total safety during the dive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

Among the accessories that complete my kit, I have chosen two small &#8220;gems&#8221; by Smatree that combine great practicality with a touch of style. Their aluminum alloy screws replace the standard GoPro plastic ones: besides being sturdier and more resistant to salt corrosion, they allow for tighter and more secure fastening using the specific wrench. The choice of the blue version is not accidental: the visual impact and the chromatic harmony created with the GoPro is a detail that I particularly appreciate. To these, I add the 1\/4\u2033 tripod adapter, crafted entirely from metal to ensure superior structural stability. It is essential for connecting the GoPro to classic photographic supports and has the great advantage of integrating the threading directly into the body, thus eliminating the need for an external nut and, with it, the annoying risk of losing it during assembly operations on the boat or in the water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02e536d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"02e536d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6d8db4 elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d6d8db4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac6760c elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ac6760c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22c3d5c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"22c3d5c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff305de e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ff305de\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ebc83d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4ebc83d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-4ebc83d{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-280242d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"280242d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Quick release plate<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e26c7b elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7e26c7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-15090\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b.jpg 900w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b-600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Quick-release-plate\u200b\u200b-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8195779 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8195779\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-8195779{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c991aa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c991aa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This adapter from SmallRig, a leader in the videomaking world, is an accessory that simplifies equipment management. <br \/>Made of solid anodized aluminum, its build quality is superior to standard plastic mounts.

Bitrates are already high in the latest GoPros and become even more extreme when using GoPro Labs firmware; under these conditions, the media specifications must guarantee certain operating margins to avoid buffer errors (the saturation of the camera&#8217;s internal memory that stops recording). The main parameter to evaluate is the Video Speed Class, indicated by the V rating. A V30 certification guarantees a minimum constant write speed of 30 MB\/s, an essential requirement for 4K and 5.3K, while higher classes like V60 or V90 offer greater bandwidth that reduces stress on the card controller. Alongside sequential speed, the Application Performance Class defines the ability to handle input\/output operations per second. The difference between A1 and A2 standards lies in the management architecture: the A2 class allows the card to process multiple instructions simultaneously (such as writing video along with metadata), making it much more effective for those using advanced firmware. To these parameters is added the U3 classification, a standard that, like V30, guarantees a minimum speed of 30 MB\/s, but refers to the card&#8217;s ability to maintain a constant flow for continuous recordings. Finally, the UHS-I or UHS-II bus interface determines the physical connection through the pins. Although the camera does not exploit the full bandwidth of a UHS-II bus, using advanced media ensures better thermal management, as the hardware operates far from its physical limits, limiting the heat produced during prolonged recordings. My operational choice falls on the SanDisk Extreme PRO 64 GB with V30, U3, and A2 specifications. I use the 64 GB size because, during a single dive, it is difficult to exhaust this memory capacity; I therefore prefer to restart with a clean card for every water entry. In this way, should a card malfunction or flooding occur, the recordings from previous dives remain safe. I consider Lexar Silver Plus and Samsung Pro Ultimate as valid alternatives. Since memory media are subject to wear over time, it is fundamental to monitor their condition and plan for their replacement over time to maintain constant system reliability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98ea15f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"98ea15f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acf1be2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"acf1be2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d77be72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d77be72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-d77be72{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ea5502 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ea5502\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to avoid fake memory\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94fd9a5 elementor-hidden-desktop foto-senza-bordo elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"94fd9a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DiskSpeedTest.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-11507\" alt=\"In questa foto si vede la schermata dell&#039;app Black Magic DiskSpeed Test\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DiskSpeedTest.png 696w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DiskSpeedTest-600x620.png 600w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DiskSpeedTest-290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/scubasteve.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DiskSpeedTest-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771edf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"771edf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-771edf1{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33371da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33371da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The microSD market is saturated with counterfeit products that can cause malfunctions and data loss. To avoid careless purchases, it is essential to contact authorized dealers and official channels, being wary of off-market prices that represent the first red flag. Once in possession of the card, even visual analysis provides valuable insights: low-quality packaging, blurry graphics, or errors in logos often indicate a likely forgery. However, the definitive proof consists in testing the card speed immediately after purchase using specific software, such as\u00a0<a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/h2testw.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H2testw\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0for Windows or\u00a0<a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/blackmagic-disk-speed-test.it.softonic.com\/mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blackmagic Disk Speed Test<\/a>\u00a0 for Mac, which allow you to verify real performance in minutes. The technical procedure initially involves formatting the card directly inside the GoPro to ensure correct initialization, then connecting it to the computer and starting the analysis. Within the Blackmagic software, via the gear icon, select the Select Target Drive function by choosing the volume related to the microSD and start the test by clicking on Speed Test Start. The benchmark results are divided into two crucial areas for the video operator: the Will it Work section shows the compatibility of the card with various formats and resolutions through check icons, while the How Fast section reports performance in frames per second based on the codecs used, such as H.265. From tests carried out on 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pros, speed variations between 62 and 86 MB\/s emerged, confirming that even between cards of the same model there can be differences in performance. Significantly lower results or errors during the procedure indicate the presence of unsuitable or counterfeit media. One should never take the reliability of a card for granted based on the brand alone; performing this test immediately after purchase or after intensive use is a fundamental step to ensure that the media is intact and ready for use.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55c1eef e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"

However, since the amount of data generated by high-resolution clips would quickly saturate the internal storage space of my laptop, the use of dedicated external units becomes indispensable.<br \/>In this field, the substantial difference between a classic hard disk (HDD) and a Solid State Drive (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandisk.com\/products\/ssd\/external-ssd\/sandisk-extreme-portable-ssd-v3?sku=SDSSDE70-2T00-G25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SSD<\/a>) lies in the storage technology: while the HDD uses rotating magnetic platters and mechanical heads subject to wear and breakage from shocks or vibrations, the SSD is based on NAND flash memories without moving parts. This absence of mechanics not only guarantees superior physical resistance, fundamental in travel and boat contexts, but eliminates the latency times linked to head positioning, bringing reading and writing speeds from an average of 100-150 MB\/s for HDDs to over 1000-2000 MB\/s for portable NVMe SSDs. For high-resolution GoPro clips, the use of an SSD is therefore preferable as it guarantees extremely fast and secure file transfer. My configuration involves the use of high-performance SSDs combined with a USB 4.0 240W 40Gbps cable, ensuring that the connection interface does not limit the drive speed. Despite the superior reliability of SSDs, at the end of all the day&#8217;s dives I perform a second backup on an independent disk, which I consider my insurance against data loss. As for backup, cloud storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) are ideal, allowing files to be saved online, but they require a stable and fast internet connection, a condition that in a Liveaboard context is rarely guaranteed.<br \/>Regarding backup, cloud storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, etc.) might seem like a solution, but they require a stable and fast internet connection; a condition that in a holiday location or in a Liveaboard context is almost never guaranteed, making these services effectively unusable for such heavy files.<br \/>We will see further precautions, both on file management methods and storage strategies, in the After the Dive section of the site, where technical insights are present to best manage the entire digital archive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-febb12a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

As illustrated in the \u201cAfter the Dive\u201d section, reviewing the footage immediately after each dive is a mandatory step: it allows for an immediate check of the shot quality, correcting any errors in the following dive. The computer also allows for the organization of files into a logical and chronological folder structure, optimizing time and significantly simplifying the workflow once back home. For my post-production, the choice fell on a MacBook Pro with an Apple M3 Pro chip and 18GB of unified memory. Thanks to its Liquid Retina XDR display, I am able to achieve good color fidelity, an essential aspect for color correction.
