Gopro tripod-ish mounts to film solo pool practice?

[KevinNM]

Last weekend I watched too many clips of me doing things wrong taken by the instructors. So what I'm looking for is a mini-tripod that is sufficiently negatively buoyant so I can park the camera on the bottom of the pool, do a skill and see if I did it both correctly and without much extraneous movement. I have no idea how floaty/stable any of the various tripods/gripsters I see on amazon would be on the pool bottom. Anyone have a suggestion as what would work?

Thanks
Kevin

How about some of those gopro or camera mounts that has a suction cup?

How about a sticky mount on a 3 to 5 lb weight?

Thanks. Those both seem like reasonable approaches I didn't think about.

You could DIY something like this.. even directly screw a ball mount into a weight

When u buy the gopro... It is mounted on a tray in the package. Use that.

That's what I did. Works great. Folds flat.

I use the Mako rig with the camera mounted on the top rail anytime I need a sturdy base for shooting.

How about this?
