Beware of the Octopus!

[Rick Burnett]

I couldn't not share this. Some was trying to film an octopus underwater and the octopus stole his camera!

Nowadays even octopi want to become cinematographers....

that is so awesome

who knew that an octopus is a natural born steadicam operator?

pretty damn smooth when he was swimming away except the cam was pointed into his body!

Haha. It's funny how far this has gone. Vic is an old friend of mine and an amazing photographer and now motion picture enthusiast. He's always taking his camera out on his daily dives and sometimes he gets lucky. Nice.

Hey, don't make it more difficult than it already is, that's a real concern for some of us.

Several of my customer's housings have been taken by sharks. Usually the shark drops it and it is retrieved but it's just a matter of time before one takes it too far away.

That's wild. You may need to review your signature Michael.
