hi guys, I already have the housing upgrade in where we can mount a mini-c lite on top of the housing, is there a way we can put a GoPro housing too? my DSLR has no video and frankly, I prefer using the GoPro since it's easier to use video with it. lemme know how to if you guys have any ideas.

PS: my buddy and I made a video montage of our Scuba Trip, the underwater video was shot with a GoPro.

I used the bicycle mounting bracket ( from Go Pro) and mounted it to one of my strobe arms.You have to build up the inside of the mount with some rubber strips (supplied) but it works,

Ultralight does have a 1" diameter ball for the GoPro camera. Ultralight Control Systems

This would mount with our 9571.6, 1" ball at DSLR top mount, and 9571.2 clamp (or Ultralight clamp).

Jean , by the way I already have the Ikelite # 4074.3 Ikelite SLR-DC Top Mount for Mini-C Lite (if u saw the video) is that the same ball attachment? so all I have to buy is the clamp perhaps?
