I know that there a lot of those who like to use their head strap with the Go Pro, and are concerned about losing their camera while diving. That is why I created the Go Pro head strap leash (patent Pending). This leash works really well and will not impede your movements and it will provide your camera security and give you peace of mind. Here is a scuba board member doing a review on this leash. I feel that this is a practical item that is needed and that is why I wanted to inform divers of this great product.

A few months ago I got an opportunity to try out a Z gear head strap leash. I was only able two make 2 dives with due the extremely cold winter here in Ohio. I have only done 6 dives with a go pro so far. As with a lot of divers I have talked to finding a comfortable way to carry it is a great debate. My objective with a camera is to record a dive but not get lost in recording it. I am not really interest in using a tray or really having to do anything with it during a dive just "set it and forget it" the old Ronco slogan.
I liked the idea of a head strap but have heard many times I would loose the camera and not know it. The leash is a great solution to this problem as I quickly found out. On the last dive with the camera it slipped of my head. I figured it just slipped off and I noticed right away. Once I got home and looked at the video it was a good 2 minutes before I realized it slipped off. If you dive with a head strap you might want to look into these for some cheap insurance. If I am using the head strap I will be using the leash too for sure.
I will say I was a bit concerned with a entanglement issues with the strap being worn on my left arm. But even with using my bailout bottle for practice at the end of the dive it went unnoticed I had it on.[video=youtube;xDrwyanGrto]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDrwyanGrto[/video]
