Freestyle swimming with GoPro HD Hero

This is the first Test of my new GoPro HD Hero action/underwater camera with some slow motion shots. Don't pay to much attention to the swim technique, I know it is not at it's best ;)

Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me what mounts you used to film this video?

@GrumpSkull

Yes, thats right. But there are lenses you can buy to fix this problem.

That's a nice clip. Good job :)

I have a GoPro but have not used it under water yet.

I have read that the convex lens glass in the case causes a lack of focus which this video shows. There have been mods done with flat glass to achieve sharp focus on the GoPro under water. Thanks for the vid.
