Water jets are a game changer for underwater photography and videography

May, 16 2023

As technology advances, so does the world of cinematography. One of the newest and most exciting innovations in the field is the use of underwater scooters, such as the SCUBAJET, to capture stunning footage.
SCUBAJET Ambassador Mauricio Handler, a highly respected cinematographer, has been using the SCUBAJET in his projects, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. Also the “Deepest Man on Earth,” Austrian freediver and SCUBAJET ambassador Herbert Nitsch, is using SCUBAJET in combination with this camera during his freediving expeditions, while diving with sharks and capturing extraordinary moments with them. So it’s time to explore the advantages of using underwater scooters for filming and photoshoots.
 
For underwater photographers and cinematographers, an underwater scooter can be a game changer. It allows for smoother movement and positioning, which can result in more professional-looking footage. Also, with the extended range and reduced air consumption, you’ll have more time to capture that perfect shot. In the realm of underwater photography and videography, control and mobility are vital. And this is where SCUBAJET comes into play. It’s compact and lightweight, making it ideal for underwater photographers and videographers who need to carry heavy camera equipment.

Benefits of using underwater scooters while shooting

Dive scooters offer several benefits. Firstly, they provide a stable platform for filming and taking photographs. When filming underwater, it can be challenging to hold a camera steady due to the currents and waves. A water jet provides a stable platform that allows to capture steady footage without the camera shaking and also offers a high degree of control, which is critical for capturing the perfect shot underwater. Its smooth, stable propulsion allows for precise framing and composition, giving you the ability to carefully adjust your position relative to your subject.

Secondly, underwater scooters provide increased mobility and range. Cinematographers can cover more ground and explore more of the underwater environment with an underwater scooter. This increased mobility allows cinematographers to capture footage that normally you would not be able to get.

Thirdly, underwater scooters help cinematographers conserve their energy. Filming underwater can be physically demanding. Using a dive scooter helps reducing the amount of energy expended by a photographer. This reduced energy expenditure enables cinematographers to stay underwater longer and capture more footage. The ability to move quickly and smoothly through the water also makes it easier to keep up with fishes or underwater creatures, allowing photographers to capture natural and spontaneous shots within the same time.

Another advantage of using an underwater scooter for photoshoots is the ability to easily change locations. Without a scooter, photographers would have to swim or boat to different locations, which can be time-consuming and limit the amount of time they must capture shots. With SCUBAJET, however, they can quickly and easily move from one location to another, capturing a wider variety of shots and achieving better results.

Silent operation and extended shooting time

Moreover, multiple speed settings allow to adapt to different shooting scenarios. Whether you need to keep pace with a fast-moving subject or slowly approach a skittish sea creature, SCUBAJET can accommodate your needs. By reducing the physical effort needed to move around underwater, water jets significantly extend the shooting time. Traditional diving methods can be exhausting, limiting your time underwater. This is a great way to conserve energy and focus on the craft, leading to longer, more productive shooting sessions. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an amateur enthusiast, SCUBAJET offers a new way to explore and document the underwater world like never before. It’s a game-changer in the field of underwater exploration and imagery.

With SCUBAJET, you can move swiftly through the water, minimizing the effort and energy required for propulsion. This enhanced mobility allows photographers and cinematographers to reach places that were previously inaccessible. One can swiftly dive into deep caves, explore the intricate crevices of a coral reef, or chase after a school of fish without disturbing their natural behavior. One of the biggest challenges of underwater photography is light. Water absorbs light and reduces visibility, making it difficult to capture clear and vibrant images. This is where the SCUBAJET Beam is the perfect companion. This 1500 Lumen LED light provides a powerful, concentrated light that can be used to illuminate subjects in low light conditions.
