The GoPro Hero+ LCD is here!

Say hello to the GoPro Hero+ LCD! All-in-one awesome + touch display convenience.

The basics of the camera are solid. The Hero+ LCD records video in 1080p60, and takes 8 MP resolution stills, both recorded on a microSD card (up to 64 GB). Because it was designed for use during action sports like surfing and skiing, the camera is both rugged and waterproof. Video recording can be started with a single button press (a great feature for those pressed for time to catch a shot), and a HiLight Tagging button allows you to flag certain moments in a video as you record them so you can easily find those moments later during playback.

That’s all well and good, of course, but the show stopping feature here is the LCD screen – a first for GoPro’s entry-level Hero camera. It allows you to access camera settings, frame your shots and watch video playback, all from the camera itself. There’s an new in-camera video trimming feature for tidying up your clips on the spot, too – handy for when you want to share short videos via the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections.

The GoPro Hero+ LCD is recently launched and will be available in India around the first week of July 2015 at all authorised GoPro dealers nationwide. For more information log on to www.stereovision.biz and www.gopro.com.

Phantom Flex Underwater: first time EVER in India… by Stereovision

You heard well! The first underwater shoot with a Phantom camera in India diving in for the film “Roy” starring Jacqueline Fernandes, Rambir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal produced by T-Series. We are proud to have accomplished this challenging mission with a Phantom Flex 2K and a Hydroflex Remote AquaCam Housing, both available at Stereovision’s rental catalogue.

After leading the industry in India with film camera housings also made by Hydroflex (the best) for over a decade, its no surprise. It was time to move Digital!

Above, the underwater cinematographer with its professional crew provided by Orca Dive Club Mumbai, so as a set of underwater kino lights, also provided by Stereovision. Although “kinos” do have limitations when shooting high-speed due to flicker issues, we managed to overlap the flicker with other tungsten sources from above the water (+5KW tungsten). Also the flicker is less visible underwater due to water density and the natural motion of it.

Above one of our Phantoms Flex 2K getting ready to dive. Inside the housing all cabling and motors must be precisely calibrated to operate the focus and the aperture remotely via the Preston Remote Lens Control System. That was only achieved by the underwater application specialist Rajasekaran (right), together with Anand.

The Hydroflex Remote Aquacam MK5 is available in India and Sri Lanka and it works for Red Epic & Dragon, Arri Alexa, Phantom 2K and 4K.
