Designed for scuba divers by scuba divers, the newly released Paralenz Vaquita 2nd GEN is my favourite underwater video camera of all time.
It’s the only underwater camera with automatic depth-controlled colour correction and also the only one that has a data collection app affiliated with marine research organisations!
Highly durable, it can go deeper than any other underwater camera – down to a whopping 1150 ft / 350 m.
Able to shoot 4K at a mighty 60fps and super slowmotion 1080p at 240fps: its video shooting specs are unmatched. It can also snap decent 12mp photos.
Paralenz have released several unique accessories that are compatible with both the Vaquita and Vaquita Gen 2; to give more underwater movie-making freedom; including a macro lens, third person viewer stick and trigger mount grip.
The newest version of the Vaquita: the Gen 2 – aka the Vaquita-Wide was released in August 2022 and is very similar to its predecessor except that it has a wider lens, improved underwater colour correction and a slightly better focus range.
Before we start an in-depth break down of all it’s features check out the video below which shows the same subject filmed with the Vaquita Gen 2 and the Vaquita side by side:
