Now they're just extremely versatile action cameras. It used to be that 360 cameras, with their two or more lenses and sensors, were just a weird niche to create spherical videos. A 360 camera lets you record everything all at once, then edit together the best parts when you get back to shore. If you want more brightness, there's likely a waterproof light for however high your budget can go. Then double check you're able to attach the light to your camera mount. Before you buy this, or any underwater camera light, check out the user photos so you know its capabilities. There are a lot of options available under $100, but they're either dimmer, have extensive bad reviews or both. It's not going to light up a school of fish, but a fish for sure, and sometimes that's all you need. This 600 lumen waterproof LED light from Light and Motion should work great for close up photos and videos. The vibrant coral and fish photos you've probably seen on Instagram were likely taken with far more expensive cameras than we've covered, with elaborate and powerful lighting rigs. So depending on depth and a number of other factors, your underwater photos might end up rather monochromatic. You lose reds, then oranges, eventually even greens. Light behaves differently the deeper you go. Not ideal for continuous shooting, but for short clips and photos, just aim like Spidey. The Handler floats with the camera attached, making it much harder to lose your GoPro. Two other accessories I recommend for this waterproof underwater camera are the Handler and the Hand/Wrist Strap. For deeper dives, there's a dive case available that's good down to 131 feet (40 meters). This is plenty for things like surfing, pools, probably snorkeling too unless you've got fins or can really hold your breath. The compact camera's small size can fit just about anywhere, and it's waterproof without a case to 33 feet (10 meters). If you don't need the ultimate in video quality, frame-rates or stabilization, the Hero7 Black will work just fine. Pretty much every dive shop and beach-side hotel on Earth is going to sell a handful of GoPro items like batteries, cases and more. The main reason to go with GoPro over another brand is the extremely wide range of accessories available, and the availability of those accessories.
