I'm an UW videographer and I find that second stages are often poorly designed for video (and probably still) work.
Does anyone know of a second stage that has the air hose entering the reg from below instead of from the side? I regularly poke my head into small "caves" and holes to video, and my hoses always rub on the walls. Of course continued wear like this could be hazardous to my health!
I would like to run the reg hose up from my chest instead of around my body to limit this rubbing.
Another feature that would be of interest is an "exhaust" on the second stage that would extend further out, thus preventing exhausted air from exiting under the housing and creating bubbles in the frame. Although this is not a frequent problem, in certain filming positions it can ruin a good sequence. I do have to breathe on occasion.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
