Thanks everyone for posting options I hadn't even considered. After reading and looking at the BC's linked, I think I'm still leaning towards the Stiletto or possibly the Transpac or the Deep Matrix. One of the reasons I'm looking at the Stiletto is that's it's smaller than my Ranger but has the integrated weights/Ripcord.
I'll probably just use my 65' bladder for doubles. Seems like too much for the Stiletto. And most of my diving will still be single tank warm diving, I'm just now looking into the possibility of dependent doubles to increase my bottom time at shallow (+/- 30-40') depths. Which is where I mostly film.
As mentioned I can always buy a plate for doubles if I do that. Has anyone added the Zeagle plate to their Ranger - how did that work out? Did you mount doubles prior to getting the plate using just the Zeagle kit? I'm curious about the tank stability before/after?
One question: Do you need to use the crotch strap for the Transpac or the Matrix? Does it ride up without it? I dive in a swimsuit so I can't see how that would be very comfortable.
