Catching Blue Crab - Underwater Cam!
« on: September 24, 2012, 03:11:43 PM »
Finally got some decent footage after many different depth and lighting tests.  I shortened the video down a lot as well.  I think I had about 10  minutes of just the crab attacking the camera.

Enjoy!

I know right.  I was stressing big time in the first 10 minutes.  I could see the whole setup since it was only in a foot of water.  The crab was lunge attacking all side of the camera before he even came into view. No damage was done to the GoPro atleast.

I am gonna make some sort of protective cover for the lens out of plexiglass glass though.  Just to UN-settling with how aggressive they are.
