What trays do you guys use with your GoPros? I have a Backscatter double handle tray, and Im looking into getting a Nauticam Easitray with both handles to use also, because although I like the backscatter tray(I buy all my stuff from Backscatter) I love the grips on the Nauticam trays....Just saying....
 
I use a DIY tray that I cut from acrylic. I've only had the chance to use it one time. It works very well and only cost me $30 total to make it. :cool2:

I have a Frankenrig I put together using an Ikelite tray...

To which I added $10 worth of Loc-Line bits, and $3 in screws from Lowes...

The Ikelite tray's "extra" hole also allowed me to attach my SP Gadgets handle via a tripod mount for very balanced one-hand maneuvering as well...

Love the 4 legged Franken tray! I think having 4 light at each corner acts as stabilizer esp for 1 handed operation.

The camera is so small it's really hard to shoot a steady shot w 1 hand for me.

Does the 4 lights get a bit heavy?

DIY tray 32 mm PVC waste pipes to be honest perfect size for Archon D11V ligts
 
Without lights, I like the old Ikelite N5 tray from the film era for it's compact one-handed operation. It was part of a modular system for adding strobe arms and parts can still be found on eBay, but I use it just as shown. The large black knob is not needed in that case.

For lights, any tray or flat bar modified for LocLine arms is my choice. The arms become the handles.
 
Thanks guys, nice rigs. Im thinking mayby a Nauticam Easitray with double handles for mine. Trying to decide.
