Filming Colorful Reefs with Your Smartphone

When filming a reef video, like these soft corals at the famous Rainbow Reef in Fiji, seek out bright and beautiful areas.  If you find a spot with a good view, use your video lights to illuminate the subject area and stay still. The fish will come back and swim around the reef for a vibrant and teeming video.

Equipment: SportDiver housing with iPhone 12 Pro Max, 2.5x iPhone Lens, 2x Sea Dragon 3000F
