Join us for an exciting and educational session with Todd Korte (Judge for our 2024 Photo Contest), where he will share expert tips on improving your underwater videography. Todd will cover a range of important topics: understanding the difference between ambient light and video light, color loss, types of shots that are easy to capture and simple to edit, how to use the GoPro QR codes with underwater camera settings, and how to setup your camera tray to maximize the potential of shooting underwater video with action cameras.

​

Todd has also generously donated a number of  4K GoPro QR code cards to the club, which will be given away to the first 40 (member) attendees at the meeting. But that's not all—he will also showcase his custom-designed camera tray, which he created to address the specific needs of underwater video divers. His tray is designed to be buoyant, lightweight, and easy to use with GoPros and other action cameras, making it perfect for divers who want to capture smooth, steady footage.

​

To show his support, Todd will be donating one of his trays for a club raffle, with all proceeds going to support club activities. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, get hands-on with great tools, and enhance your underwater videography experience.  Plus, if you don't win the tray, Todd's offering a $20 discount through April 4th, using code CID$20.  More information and ordering here.
