Has anyone got any experience with these lights? Are they good enough for a noob cake? I'm heading out to Japan diving next week. I have not tested this in water yet, I fly out tomorrow and I just got the base today. I drilled some holes in the locline for filling/drainage.
This is my semi DIY tray I put together. Its very similar to the link posted above
http://diversdigest.co.za/the-complete-diy-underwater-gopro-solution/. I was also taking design cues from the sea life quick release system which I was actually going to buy.
If anyone is interested:
- The tray is Delrin/acetal that was machined by a friend.
- The handles are cheap mountain bike handles from eBay that my mate gave me, approx au10 bucks.
- The "Locline" is not genuine locline its chinese gopro gooseneck from ebay au9.18 delivered (for both, what a steal). It is just as rigid as genuine locline IMO.
- 3x quickrelease tripod mount adapter base, ebay approx au5
- 3x quickrelease buckles au3
- 1x 1/4" all thread au 5 bucks
total is 32.18AUD, plus the delrin part, I paid au99 for each of the knogs. So total set up was less than 300 bucks? Could have made it even cheaper by not using the quick release buckles but this way I can disassemble the arms from the handles
