Okay so I recently bought this filter for my very own GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition. This is actually a preparation for my upcoming Maldives Getaway this year(It's actually my first trip for 2015 so I'm kindah excited like hell!
I was wandering around at Vivo City one day when I curiously asked the sales man at Challenger Centre whether they have a GoPro Red Filter which is specialized for color correction when Scuba Diving or Snorkelling. The guy showed me this thing called PolarPro Switchblade Filter which as for the name itself can be switch with either Red Flter or Macro Filter(For depth of field). In my excitement, I straightaway took it at the cashier and paid. When I reached home, I quickly opened the box to try it to my camera, unfortunately, as I didn't check it properly, It is made for Standard housing only and on that time, I only had a Dive Housing which wouldnt fit for it. So a week after, I bought the housing/casing and tried it on my camera, and yes the result was amazing. I will show sample shots and more details once I come back from my paradise vacation. For now, please read the details below for more info. ✌️
"The Switchblade2.0 is a great scuba diving accessory for the GoPro diver. It combines a macro lens and a red filter making it one of the most versatile GoPro filters on the market. The all new Ultra-Macro lens provides 10x magnification which means underwater focus distance of 3 to 8 inches, and above water focus distance of 1.5 to 5 inches. The macro is incredibly powerful and has the ability to capture close up images and videos like never before. The PolarPro red filter provides precise color correction from 15 to 80 feet. The red filter and the macro lens can be used together, or separately. The redesigned engineering on the Switchblade2.0 includes a new macro latch system locking the macro open or closed, a new zinc rivet connecting the red filter to the base, and a overall structure boost, ensuring that your Switchblade2.0 will withstand rough diving conditions."
