Question Dive Xtra Black Tip Tech - Camera Mount

[Dann-Oh]

Hey All, I am looking for mounting ideas to mount my Olympus EPL10 camera and housing to my Black Tip. I am thinking I would start with my 8mm fisheye lens for just a wide angle view of the dives I'm doing.

I'm leaning towards using the Dive Xtra Modular Camera mount (Modular Camera Mount) for mounting the camera, but need some suggestions for the lights and mounting the lights.

FWIW, I bought that mount a few years ago, and was singularly unimpressed with it. The plastic ball mounts broke off on me twice, since they don't seem to like the force exerted when you have the arms extended and get on the trigger. I'd probably use it for a Gopro, but not a bigger housing.

Not that I've used it, but I really like the look of this rail system, and that's probably the way I'd go in your case (a little more $$$ though).

I do like the look of that rail mounting system.
