These are the hidden benefits of using an external monitor/recorder for underwater video
As underwater videography becomes more accessible, some of the tools that have previously only been used by professionals are becoming more mainstream. External recorders and monitors are essential tools for any underwater video shooter who wants to take full advantage of the data that their camera is collecting.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro is a solid upgrade from the original BMPCC 6K with better battery life and built-in ND filters
Blackmagic has done a great job carving out a niche among underwater video shooters that want professional, cinema-quality video for a relatively affordable price point. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K pro is a new upgrade from the original BMPCC 6K. Both cameras are a step up from the very popular Blackmagic 4K which featured a micro four thirds lens mount and 4K/60p RAW recording.

The world's smallest full-frame mirrorless camera (with IBIS) is also one of our top picks for an entry-level full-frame underwater camera!

The world's smallest full-frame mirrorless camera (with IBIS) is also one of our top picks for an entry-level full-frame underwater camera!
The photo market is not like other electronics markets. While the rest of the world trends small, the mirrorless market began that way and then everyone just decided they liked the original DSLR form factor and cameras stopped shrinking. That is...until the Sony a7C. The a7C is Sony's answer to those who want a camera with professional image quality, but really can't compromise when it comes to size. If the travel-ability of a camera is everything to you and you don't need a real EVF, then the a7C should be your go-to camera.

A first dive with the Nikon Z 7II and Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4
Although Nikon been a major player in the photographic industry for decades, the company has been struggling these past couple of years with both its finances and innovation. The recent release of the Nikon Z 7II and Z 6II full-frame mirrorless cameras is exciting for Nikon shooters as the top Nikon cameras on the market.
