Xrec Half-Frame Orange Filter for GoPro HERO5/6/7 Black (underwater color correction)

The Xrec Half-Frame Orange Filter for GoPro HERO5/6/7 Black is a specialized underwater color correction filter designed to attach over half of the camera housing or lens. It compensates for the loss of warm tones when shooting in shallow to mid-depth water by restoring red and orange hues that are absorbed by water, resulting in more natural and balanced underwater footage for diving, snorkeling and recreational videography.

Advantages

This half-frame orange filter provides targeted color correction without covering the entire field of view, allowing users to combine corrected and uncorrected imagery in a single frame. It is lightweight and designed to mount securely on compatible action camera housings, offering a simple passive solution for improving color balance underwater. The filter requires no power or software and can be applied or removed quickly during a session.

Suitable for

• Recreational scuba diving and snorkeling in shallow to moderate depths
• Underwater videography where partial frame correction is preferred
• Action sports and travel footage captured with GoPro HERO5/6/7 Black
• Recording scenes with mixed above-water and below-water composition

Key specifications

• Filter type: half-frame orange color correction filter
• Compatibility: designed for GoPro HERO5, HERO6 and HERO7 Black housings
• Primary function: restores red/orange tones in shallow to mid-depth underwater shooting
• Mounting: attaches over part of the camera housing or lens for partial-frame coverage
• Material: durable optical-grade filter material suitable for repeated use in salt and fresh water
• Weight and size: compact and lightweight for minimal impact on camera handling

How to use

Attach the filter over the desired half of the camera housing or lens area before entering the water, ensuring a secure fit to prevent movement while recording. Frame your shot so that the underwater area benefits from the orange correction while keeping any above-water portion unfiltered if required. After use, rinse the filter in fresh water to remove salt and debris and dry it with a soft cloth before storing. Adjust white balance and color settings in-camera as needed to fine-tune results based on depth and lighting conditions.

Lietošanas ieteikumi

For best results, use the half-frame orange filter at depths where blue and green wavelengths dominate (typically 1–10 meters). Combine with manual or underwater white balance settings when available, and avoid combining with additional color filters that cover the same area to prevent overcorrection.
