My Old Underwater Camera Set-Up

Before 2020, I used a Sealife camera for primary photographs and captured video with a GoPro. I typically used the Gopro Hero 8 Black during the day and the Gopro Hero 4 Silver at night or on macro focused dives.

The picture above shows my old Sealife and Gopro Hero 6. After the image was taken, I upgraded to the Gopro Hero 8. The above photography was taken while scuba diving off the Oman Aggressor by Shaker Mohamed, Cruise Director.

When shooting smaller subjects, I used Backscatter’s Flip Filters 55mm +15 MacroMate Mini and a Gopro. I do not use this combination since I purchased the Panasonic GH5. For lighting, I typically use two (2500 lumen) video lights which has remained constant between the old and new systems.

• Sealife DC2000
• Gopro
  • Hero 8 Black (PolarPro DiveMaster 3-Pack Filter Kit)
  • Hero 4 Silver (Backscatter Flip Filter Kit)
• Sealife Dragon Universal Flash
• Sealife Flex-Connect  Dual Tray, Flex Arms

Alright, my GoPro Hero 8 Black finally broke. Water must've leaked inside and ruined it.

Definitely want a new(er) one. Are there any compelling features or traits of the 9, 10, 11, and 12 models? I don't do anything special with it, mostly mounted in cars or attached to a bike. Only used underwater occasionally. Thanks!
