You have probably seen them by now, unique looking photos from the sea where half of the photo is above and the other half is below the water. It feels like you are peeking into another world under the water’s surface. To take this kind of interesting over under photos you need a special housing called a dome port. Without it putting the waterline over the middle of the photo is virtually impossible.
Dome photography can be expensive and quite hard for a beginner, so the inventive staff at SplitGadgets decided to make their own affordable dome housing that will help people shoot cool over-under water photos. The Split Dome Port is a housing for a GoPro cameras that makes taking split photos a breeze. GoPro with its wide-angle lens and a Split dome port are a perfect combination that turn over under photography into something everyone can do and afford.
Using the Split Dome Port makes it easy to position the waterline over the middle of the photo and capture at the same time what is happening above and under the water. Split dome will fix all the problem that cameras have with underwater photography due to the properties of air, water and light. The specially designed curvature of a dome ports minimizes the effects of refraction, radial distortion and chromatic aberration.
