Questions & Answers

BRAD I : Anyone using a head mount?  Is one available?Mario C : Not that we seen here.. however the mask mount that comes with could be transformed in a head mount with the use of a head strap/ bandana etc ( that would make thework of the mask strap without the need for a mask..)
David L : How long does it take to recharge the battery?Mario C : connected to the wall charger is less than an hour. i imagine USB should take a little longer
David L : How deep can you go before needing supplemental lighting?Mario C : depends on water clarity.. it can be a few feet...
Shopper : How about taking pics above water, i.e. on the dive boat?LEANDRE R : Sorry but I have recently purchased it before the Covid business and have yet to go diving with it. I cannot make a comparison, although fiddling with it, it seems to take normal pics with color corrections.JAQUELYN L : I didn’t try it but my understanding is that the color corrections that make the Paralenz so good are automatically applied assuming a water environment, so the Paralenz is not so good for pictures or videos out of the water.
JAMES S : How do I delete videos on the Paralenz?Mario C : Not sure you can do it without the camera linked to cpu. double check with their customer service Paralenz is dedicated to providing the best possible service.

Best video camera

This camera is so cool, and it works so good. Just have to get used to not moving my head so much when videoing while diving. Set your camera for the water your diving in and you end up with very clear picture and video. Would recommend this to everyone.

Worth it

I picked this over the newer Vaquita because of reported issues withe the Vaquita, including missing image stabilization and increased focal point. I’m knocking one star because the app is garbage and the sync process cumbersome. You have to enable wifi on the camera then connect your phone to it, enter the long password each time. And to boot, the photos don’t sync. I’ve tried everything that support

Very compact, so-so photographs.

The camera is compact and is great for travel. I used this primarily to take photographs during a recent dive trip to Negril. The green white balance produced the most accurate underwater colors, blue water completely shifted all my photos deep blue and was completely unsatisfactory. Auto white balance seemed to over saturate some hues and correcting the white balance made some colors unnatural. The camera sensor is rather noisy and gives the photos a decided grainy appearance. Overall the photos did not have the detail that I am used to from other competitor's cameras.

Super video camera.

Super video camera in a small package. The video quality is incredible. With a minimum focal length of 8 inches I can take videos fairly close and keep them in focus. The Depth Color Correction makes the videos come to life. Very easy to use. I take my camera on every dive. Love it!

Good Value. Great price.

Lots of technology packed into the camera and the app. Great price. Good value. Would give it 5 stars but the manuals are missing critical details. I contacted the Paralenz customer support and got a less than ideal response.

Worth it if you dive

Very clear picture in the water, DCC is ahead of its time, no fog ups. Battery charge takes a long time. Photos are as good as a go pro underwater, but underwater videos are much better.

Awesome dive camera for technical diving. No worries about fogging, getting the case sealed or depth of the dive. Multiple options to carry it, including mask mount, handset or third person viewer.

Great camera

Great camera. It doesn’t need anything to take great pictures or videos. You don’t need to buy a housing and you don’t need colored filters. This camera was strictly made to be used underwater and that’s it purpose and that it does quite well.????

Paralenz Camera

The Paralenz Dive Camera is as easy to use as a flashlight. Just point and shoot so you can enjoy the dive. Designed for divers by divers. Brighter and more colorful videos: Recordings made underwater are tinted green or blue, unless you use a color filter. Paralenz½s patented Depth-Controlled Color Correction (DCC) automatically corrects the colors to match the depth you are at. Add some depth to your videos: Paralenz is the first underwater camera with a pressure sensor. It can display real-time depth and temperature as an overlay in your videos and pictures. Ditch the extra gear: Color filters must be changed whenever you change depth, and they absorb a lot of the light. Paralenz doesn't need filters! It gives you all the light and less task-loading. Dive with no distractions: Paralenz has vibration feedback so you can feel what the camera is doing. No need to look at the display, as each function has its own distinctive vibration pattern. One button, many functions: Paralenz keeps it simple with just one button! For underwater cameras, magnetic switches are the best choice they work under any pressure and without penetrating the camera body. Just keep your gloves on: Pushbuttons on underwater cameras are too small and give too little feedback through your gloves. Paralenz' interface works even with thick neoprene gloves or mittens.

Built like a cannonball: Diving is a one of a kind sport that places extreme demands on the gear. Paralenz looks and feels like regular dive gear, is made from military grade aluminum and extremely durable. It½s nice to know that your diving gear has a safety factor, that is why you can record and log your dives all the way down to 820' (250 meters). This underwater camera is suited even for the extreme. Under water, the angle of the lens matches up perfectly with the size of the sensor, giving you warp free videos with nice straight lines but still angle enough to record almost everything in front of you. The underwater cameras large 1/2.5" image sensor is developed especially for low light by SONY. This, and the fact that you need no filters delivers brighter recordings than any other underwater camera.

Nothing beats good buoyancy control, and slow movement when it comes to getting steady videos from an underwater camera, but the EIS gives you a big push towards getting smooth video. Press the button once to take a photo or hold it to record video simple. Done this way, you edit by deciding what to capture during your dive instead of on computer just tell the story of your dive and share it right away. The patented auto-record automatically starts capturing video when you get to a set depth and stops when you resurface. This expands your battery life, eliminates the need to edit out boring parts of video and leaves you free to focus on the dive.

Auto, 3 different fixed white balance (WB) and DCC. Camera is powered by a lithium polymer 1600 mAh battery with a 3+ hour recording time (1080p 30 fps) and 2+ hours recording time (4K 30 fps), Still photo resolution is 8 megapixels and video resolution is 4k-30 FPS / 2.7k-60 FPS / 1080p-100 FPS / 720p-200 FPS.

(155 g) and the housing is made from aerospace-grade aluminum with titanium screws with an operating temperature of -4°F to 185°F (-10°C to 85°C) EVA padding (minimizing battery discharge in cold water).
