Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share some tips on using a GoPro camera for diving.
First off, a flat lens, or GoPros new dive housing is recommended to fix a blur issue, red filter is optional
Then, if you want to use the head mount, i reccommend getting a bungie tether so if the camera comes off, its still straped to your BC
Or, if you dont like the head mount (as i dont, because i dont know what im shooting) you can make a hand mount very simply. Take a GoPro Tripod mount, and a small pocket tripod as shown in the picture, then, along one of the legs, make two open zip ties, already looped, but not tightened, and make a slip know through both (two are used to just be extra cautious) with a cord with with a rubber piece and a tighening thingy (not sure what they are called, lol) this is the same thing most dive lights come with. finally, tighten the two zip ties towards the bottom of the leg, making a wrist strap so you dont lose the camera with your new mount. a LCD backpack may be added so you can see what you are shooting
Hope this helps all of you fellow GoPro-ers out there!
