Hi All
Looking to pick some brains if I can, after googling hasn't really provided the answers I'm looking for.
I am off on another Diving Gannets trip in September and I'm planning on getting some underwater video by mounting my GoPro (Hero 5) to a pole and dunking it under the waterline.
My main question is what are my best options / compromises for set up as i'd want to grab a still or two from the video. If I go to 4k my highest frame rate option is 25fps, and I'm thinking my options of extracting sharp(est) images are going to be lower than shooting at 1080 where I can shoot at 120fps.
I tried last to to hold under the water and shoot stills in burst mode but out of 1500 shots only 1 was usable really, short looking at this method. I had seen plans and tutorials on how to rig a GoPro up so you can tether the wifi and get the app remote to work that way, but that looks pretty faffy.
I hope all this makes sense, any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks!
