I had been using the head mount kit, and sliding it around the scooters body, but was always paranoid about losing the camera, having it slide off. I took the strap helmet mount from the outdoor kit, and ran a gigantic ziptie that I bought at Home Depot through the back, and around the sccoters body, and locked it into place. Now I can take the camera on and off, and when its on the scooter there is no fear of it falling off. Short of drilling into the scooters body (ouch!) this is the best solution to scooter mounting that I have found. I attached a d-clip to the camera, so that I can remove the camera from the scooter and clip it to my D-ring before handing the scooter up on the boat. Handing the scooter up to the boat is usually when the camera can get smashed, so I like to remove it first! I Will be happy to answer any questions, and take any feedback/improvements. Although this is a pretty simple setup,
you would be surprised at how much trial and error it took to get this far. I am very happy with the results, and feel the camera is much more secure. The last thing I wanted to do was start drilling holes in my precious! Pictured here is a Silent Submersion Minnus 1.5, however this should work on most any tube based DPV out there. It may not look factory but it sure beats duct tape! If you do decide to use duct tape instead, at least use black!
