SOONSUN 3 Pack Dive Filter - Review

As an avid scuba diver and photography enthusiast, I am always on a lookout for ways to improve my underwater footage. And this is where SOONSUN's 3 Pack Dive Filter for GoPro Hero 5 6 7 Black Super Suit Dive Housing comes in. This set of three filters is specially designed to enhance colors and improve contrast in various underwater video and photography conditions.

The first thing that caught my attention is the direct snap-on attachment feature. Unlike other filters that require fiddly attachment systems, SOONSUN's filters attach easily to the GoPro Super Suit housing case. This makes it easy to switch between filters during a dive, without risking dropping or losing them. However, it is important to note that these filters can only be used with GoPro's official super suit housing case or SOONSUN housing case, not compatible with the camera's lens directly or third party housing case.

But, does the filter set actually improve underwater footage? The answer is a resounding yes! After testing the filters in various diving spots, I found that the colors appeared more vibrant and the contrast improved, resulting in stunning underwater footage. The red filter is great for use in blue or tropical waters, as it enhances red hues, particularly useful for capturing fish, coral reefs, and other marine life. The light red filter is ideal for green waters, as it enhances greens, making underwater plants and kelp stand out more clearly. Finally, the magenta filter is perfect for use in saltwater, neutralizing the blue-green tint, making footage clearer and brighter.

One thing to note, however, is that the filters do not have UV protection. This means that pictures taken in bright sunlight on the surface of the water may appear washed out or have a blue hue. In such situations, it is best to switch to a different filter or opt for conventional shooting without a filter.

Another great feature of this filter set is the reserved slot for tethering. It is always a pain to lose a filter during a dive, and with SOONSUN's filters, that is not an issue. Looping the included safety tether to the side of the slot ensures that the filters stay put and do not get lost in the water. I found this feature particularly useful when diving in areas with strong currents or during boat transfers when gear can be easily misplaced.

SOONSUN also includes a convenient drawstring bag to store and transport the filters. This is a handy accessory that helps to protect the filters from scratches and damage. It also makes it easy to find and access the filters when out on a dive.

Overall, I was impressed with SOONSUN's 3 Pack Dive Filter for GoPro Hero 5 6 7 Black Super Suit Dive Housing. It is an affordable and effective way to enhance underwater footage and capture the beauty of the underwater world. However, it is essential to keep in mind the limitations of the filters and ensure that they are used appropriately to get the best results.

In conclusion, if you are a scuba diver or avid underwater photographer, SOONSUN's filter set is a must-have addition to your gear. Easy to attach and use, and providing excellent improvement to underwater footage, this filter set is an excellent investment that will pay dividends in beautiful and colorful underwater pictures and videos. With over 556 customer reviews and 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, SOONSUN's filters are undoubtedly a popular choice among divers and photographers alike.
