Question 360 degree cam which floats above me....

My travel buddy @outofofficebrb fixes her 360 cam on a short arm fixed to the cold shoe on her housing with excellent results.

The problem with a floating camera is that it will move around a lot, especially in a current and the footage is going to be a bit crazy.

I have seen an action cam fitted to a rebreather, so I guess using a large clamp similar to what is used for stages and side mount, a 360 can be mounted on a tank making it hands free,

Why not a hard mount with a short stick, perhaps using gopro mount parts or a ball socket strobe arm? Sure it would not be good in overhead environments and could be an entanglement hazard, but that is manageable with prudent dive choices, a buddy, and maybe some sort of quick release or breakaway designed mount.

One neat thing about 360 cameras is that they can give the effect of being much farther off-body than they really are. Even a short standoff would make it look very much 3rd-person when zoomed out.

this is what ill be doing, found the U bolt mounting kit last night

found a way of popping it onto the cylinder out of my way.
