Hi Mempilot,

thanks for posting. Always fun to see wreck dive footage. What's your setup?

Nailer99 · 26th February 2008, 20:55

Cool footage- man, that looks like fun!

**sfldiver** · 26th February 2008, 22:50

Sweet footage Eric - I loved the Disturbed music, it gave it a bit of an added edge!!

Thanks guys! I wasn't sure if any of the footage would be worth a damn. I hadn't had the camera out in a long time, so I wasn't exactly steady with it. Plus, I forgot to bring the halogens. I filmed about 27 minutes of raw footage.

As for the setup, you're going to laugh or get a kick out of this.

I just have a cheap Panasonic PV-GS9 mini-DV recordifying camera. Scott (padipro) built a DIY PVC housing that works great and has a single control for turning it on and off and starting and stopping the recordificator. It also has a mirror that reflects a reverse image back at me from the side viewing screen. Scott rigged up a set of 35w halogens with a DIY battery canister. I didn't have these lights hooked up for the dive though.

I'll post some pics of this beer can setup that seems to work pretty good.

Thanks for posting the video. Turned out pretty good (IMHO) for what you were saying after the dive.
