Tanya needs your help!!

Hi all

I'm about to head off on another documentary shoot and I'm still trying to locate the ideal mask for filming. My 2 criteria are LOW volume and NO colour, i.e. clear silicone skirt and clear frame. My last shoot was with the Cressi Minima which comes in "all clear", but the design is with really small eye windows, which looks a little odd on camera. My personal favourite mask for TV is the Aqualung Falco, but I have never managed to find it with a clear frame. Can anyone help?!

Also, just in case I go for a mask with a silver frame (I'm just a girl so like to be colour-coordinated and it would look fab with the silver suit :girlie ), has anyone tried the Scubapro Freedom?

Thanks!!

Tanya

Don't most of the Omer masks come in clear? I know the Exsite is available clear - and also has interesting looking lenses - but I do not know if it is low enough volume for you. Cressi Lince 2 is also available in clear.

Have a great shoot

Hi Tanya,

I have a Tusa Viewtrek and although my version is all black it love it. This mask was specifically designed for photography so I guess it should be great for you and it's real low volume considering that it has such great vision.
There should be an all clear version:

Other mask from Tusa are:

I got myself a Mares XVision but it broke on me so I got myself the Tusa and LOVE IT... way more rugged then the Mares and it fits me better, little or no leaks.

Hope this helps,

SangP

Mini shadow looks good on camera in clear but not that low volume

Omer Aries 45 Lady: it's the clear version of the excellent frameless mask. Lenses are not particularily big, but the vision is wide because they stay close to the eyes due to absence of frame.

it's fundamentally a spearfishing mask: the internal volume is pretty low
hope this helps

Hey Tanya
I have a Falco and it does come in clear. I know a shop that carries it here in BC called Ocean Quest (www.diveoceanquest.com). It is also on Aqua lungs website, here is the direct link : http://www.aqualung.com/products/falco.html
Hope that helps!

another option, you could always get Falco frames painted silver to match because that would look fab...

I have an Oceanic shadow, frameless, low volume with excelent vision.
Mine is black, but you do get a frosted model.
