Today we test the ‪@OMSYSTEMCameras‬ Olympus TG7 camera underwater. Is it as good as the TG6? We put it to the test and do some dives with the #tg7 to take some 4K video, and see what we think! You can purchase the Olympus OM System Tough TG-7 here: amzn.to/45y6IE1
What did you think of the TG7? Did we get good footage? Let us know!

Please do a side by side TG7 vs. TG6 comparison by taking them underwater on the same tray if possible and compare use/adjustments/focus/etc. We need the definitive word from you 😀 You will be the first to do this AFAIK. I haven't seen anyone else does this comparison for underwater use anywhere.

Hands up for the series of shooting on TG-7! Thanks a lot for the valuable info and your point of view!

@jeremiahmontana 7 ай бұрын

The TG cameras are outstanding as underwater cameras. The smaller size really helps get close. I've used larger setups and for small stuff the equipment itself gets in the way but the TG cameras let you often sit your equipment right in front of the subject. Your footage including the comp and handling of the equipment is truly great and thanks for showing us! 🙏🏻

From an average viewer point of view, the content is prime. Understandably, the tech angle is important for professional purposes, but obsessive nerdy hardware upgrades is important only so far as when a major improvement is noticeable to the layperson. Not a criticism though...

BTW, why is there a tinge of "yellow/green" hue/haze in the video? Can you adjust this in post-processing?

Enjoyed the video greatly!! Thank you so much. My first underwater camera was an Olympus and I loved it. Then I transitioned to a Cisco Flip, the to GoPros. Having problems with my GoPros overheating while shooting underwater so I am looking for a new underwater camera. Because of your video I think I found my new one. Please do a side by side TG7 vs TG6 comparison and let me know. Thank you again.👍

Hi, nice review. Which dive light/strobe do you suggest to me? I have a TG-7 with my older Seafrog TG-6 housing, because I flood my TG-6 during some snorkeling.

@CritterHunter 18 күн бұрын

Thank you! For a dive light/strobe, I suggest checking out options like the Backscatter Mini Flash or the Backscatter Optical Snoot as well as their video light. They are both excellent choices known for their quality and performance, ideal for enhancing your underwater photography with the TG-7. Happy diving!

@johnmiskin4905 7 ай бұрын

Your new Sea Frog housing you have how do you rate it? I have a GH5 in a Sea Frog (Nauticam way too expensive) but its all to heavy when neutrally balanced with compensating weights for traveling. So...looking to down scale to the Tough 7 for practical reasons and seeing your videos. Love your videos, your macro shots are soo good. Love to come over from Denmark and dive your resort just bit of a hike getting there.

@CritterHunter 7 ай бұрын

I don't really like it neutral because I put it on a tripod and want it weighed down to be steady

@nlc8208 2 ай бұрын

How do you counteract the current? Does the camera have a good video stabilizer? Is it the same for photos?

@CritterHunter 2 ай бұрын

To counteract the current while diving, we use a combination of techniques such as proper body positioning, maintaining a streamlined profile, and utilizing natural features of the environment for support when necessary. Additionally, our cameras are equipped with excellent video stabilizers to ensure smooth footage even in challenging conditions. The stabilization features are effective for both videos and photos, ensuring clear and steady shots every time.

Hi, ich verfolge ihren Kanal auch schon eine ganze Weile. Bisher super Unterhaltung und tolles Filmmaterial. Unbedingt dran bleiben. Ich selbst nutze seit Jahren auch eine TG-6. Hauptsächlich für Makroaufnahmen. Also kenne ich die Akkuproblem der TG-6 auch sehr gut. Eine Lösung wäre das Weefine TG-6 Pro Gehäuse. Denn es enthält einen internen Akku der an die Kamera angeschlossen werden kann und so die Akkubetrieb auf ca. 6 Stunden erhöhen kann. Und das beste ist meiner Meinung nach, dass nun auch die Möglichkeit besteht, endlich einen Monitor verwenden zu können. Der ebenfalls über diesen internem Akku betrieben wird und für Makroaufnahmen eine absolute Bereicherung darstellt aufgrund des viel größeren Display. Ich denke das es eine gute Möglichkeit bietet die bekannten Probleme diesbezüglich aufzufangen. Eine ausführliche Serie über die TG-6 ubd TG-7 würfe ich ausdrücklich begrüßen. Machen Sie weiter so. Toller Kanal. Grüße aus Deutschland

Seems interesting, I'm going to Java+Bali in a few months and I want something to photograph underwater. I have a Sony A7RV with different lenses to use, but it would need an underwater case which is around €1000 and for each lens that doesn't fit the case I have to buy a new tube that's about €600 I think so it would be very costly. And takes so much space in my bag... Now I'm tempted to buy this, but not sure about the quality yet.

Everything I have read about "improvements" with the TG7 don't really do anything for UW photographers...they benefit OW photography. Therefore, there's no big incentive to upgrade over the Six. The macro subjects are great as always and never seen that species of black and white headshield slug before.
