DIR Camera

Hi DIR Guys,

Where do you attach a camera if not in use?

I was just looking for this answer myself, and found these threads:

Camera not in use: clipped to left D-ring, cave line under the left armpit. Since camera is positive buoyant, it floats behind me, next to left post. This way its out of the way, off the ground.

But thats just me.

I have a small digital camera that fits nicely into my left pocket. Otherwise the left d-ring sounds fine to me. Be sure to use a ss snap with it as well.

I posed for some UW photo shoots for GUE in the early days. Ron DeAmorim took the photos with a camera with two large strobes. He attached a clip to the hinge of each strobe arm and slung the whole thing like a stage bottle, albeit one he hugged the way you would hug a stage bottle worth several thousand dollars. <g>

While I don't know the 'proper' way to carry a camera, I'd suggest that the right d-ring is a bad place for it since it could interfere with long hose deployment. I think clipping to the left ring is probably the best option.

Hi DIR Guys,

Cameron basically covered this. There isn't a real good way to do it. The best method I have come up with is to have two clips on the camera and strobe arm so you can run it like a stage. Personally, I use one smaller SS clip of the same size as my backuplights on the body of the camera. On the end of a strobe arm, I have a small piece of bungee. I can attache a double ender to this bungee and to the left hip d-ring. The reason for the bungee is so you can pull it down past two stage bottles when hauling it into a cave for pictures. If you aren't using stages it could be tied on with cave line. I am not much of a photographer and probably wouldn't use this method (with stages) on a really expensive camera.
