I thought before heading of to our next trip (Southern Atoll, Maldives) its time to get some footage out on the last one. This is from some of the truly remote areas of Indonesia, the Wetar to Serua portion of our crossing of the Banda Sea from Alor to Ambon last October. Still fiddling with the grading. Even Color Finale Pro in FCPX has its limits... Might move to Davinci after all....

GATES UNDERWATER HOUSING W/SONY HVR-V1P + EXTRAS SELLING VERY CHEAP!! Everything is in Excellent condition as I service and clean all equipment regularly and comes with loads of extras. This kit is ready to go for shooting both underwater and topside. This is the perfect set up for industry professionals or any underwater videographer looking to produce high quailty HD films at an affordable price. SONY HVR-V1P: The Sony HVR-V1P offers 25p progressive scanning, in addition to 50i interlaced. In its compact, lightweight, and ergonomically designed chassis, the HVR-V1P camcorder integrates advanced technologies such as the newly developed 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor imaging system – which is only made possible by Sony’s industry-leading semiconductor technology – and a stunning optical 20x Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*® zoom lens. Such features ensure operators can make the most of the HDV format quality with an extreme level of mobility, ease of use, and operational comfort suited for any shooting scenario. In addition to HDV 1080i recording and playback, the camcorder also offers DVCAMTM/DV recording and playback capabilities, as well as down-conversion of recordings made in HDV 1080i. These bridges between HD and SD allow the camcorder to be used in any DV-based system, whether it uses the HDV, DVCAM, or DV format. And for even greater power, the optional HVR-MRC1K CF Memory Recording Unit (INCLUDED) – which is optimized for use on the HVR-V1P camcorder – streamlines the subsequent editing and archiving processes. Adding this unit allows images captured by the camcorder to be simultaneously recorded to tape and CF. After a shoot is complete, simply remove the CF card and connect to a compatible nonlinear editing system provides quick access to files from the editing software and completely eliminates the time-consuming digitizing process. This hybrid tape and CF Card recording system offers a multitude of benefits for shooting, editing, and archiving operations. This has been customized to fit inside the underwater housing.
