There was a flexible clamp sold by Z Gear for attaching a light to the stick. I should add that I also have some trays and will be trying one of those, as my footage is not as steady as what I've seen from tray mounted GoPros. You can view my videos on Youtube. My channel is AdamHelb

Very nice video. I like the way you combined explanatory text into the video. I use a similar setup with the flip Macromate 15 and video light, except I have mine on a selfie stick. The stills, were they taken in photo mode of the GoPro, or taking from video? Adam

I also have had no problems with my G2 transmitter and yes the first step would be to change the battery or take it to the dealer under warranty.

That is about the water temp we have here in Southern California, so no a 5 mm wetsuit is not enough. I use a 7mm with a hooded vest.

One possibility is erratic artifact heart rate. Were you monitoring your heart rate and have it linked to the algorithm?

I have my Macromate on GoPro 9 and have used it successfully filming nudibranchs and sea anemones and starfish handheld with no tripod.

Yes it's true sometimes there's a shift in the colors with auto whate balance but the trade off for me is when I surface I can take video and this adds a nice touch to my movie. I accept the small shifts in return for the convenience.

That's very interesting. A couple of weeks ago I did a dive with two buddies at Redondo Beach. I used a G2 set to MB L2 and they used Shearwaters with 40/70 GFs. We dove to 100 ft and they had two stops: a one minute stop at 20 ft and a 5 minutes stop at 10 ft, while I had a 3 minute stop at 10...

I stopped using the HR strap as I found it too unreliable and I got tired of struggling with it, even the new digital one. Strangely enough after a few dives with no HR strap the display stopped showing the HR -- display, so I'm happy with not seeing it.

Backscatter is still selling red filters, but the new GoPros don't need then. Sometimes you need a bit of white balance corrections in your editing software. I have my GoPro 9 set to auto white balance

Alkaline batteries risk leaking after being discharged and sitting for months. There's little risk if you take them out before they're discharged.

The 3 level conservatism system is outdated. The top dive computer manufacturer Shearwater uses gradient factors, that allows fine tuning of conservatism.

I did a deep dive with my G2 along with a dive buddy who uses Shearwater at 40/70 gradient factors, and I had my G2 set to MB L2. At 100 feet he had a 1 minute stop at 20 feet and 5 minute stop at 10 feet. I had a level stop at 10 feet for 3 minutes. This tells me that 40/70 GF is more...

What I do is set my GoPro9 to auto white balance, then I shoot a clip with my white fins and video light turned off. When editing in PowerDirector I activate ColorDirector. This has a pen icon that I point to the white fin and tells the software to correct colors so the fin is white. Then I...

A caveat about Backscatter is they sell Flip filters, which are no longer necessary if you correct color in post.

I had a similar problem diving with an Atomic reg with the second stage comfort swivel. When pressurized, the swivel is very tight and behaves somewhat like fixed angle for the hose. This allows the hose to become a lever arm and movement of the hose loosened the nut between the second stage and...

We found a submersible marker at Shaw's. Let me know if you lost it

For this reason, in Cozumel, I use air on the first dive and Nitrox 36 on the second.

Another idea is to take a few strands of copper wire and solder it to the prong to give more thickness
