I have the SRP blurfix but their tray, while nice, is way overpriced imo. I thought about a DIY rig but I'm pretty lazy :D The Backscatter tray seems like a pretty good value. A little more than it would cost to DIY but pretty reasonable. I'm hoping it gets in before the weekend so I can try it out. I didn't do a very good job of mounting my SRP either and it leaked into the lens. I took it apart and redid it after my dives but if it doesn't work again I may just buy the Backscatter. I like the idea of hot-swapping the filters underwater.
 
I like the 2 arms on the SRP tray better and I will never be switching out the filters so the backscatter doesn't appeal to me very much.
Also, you probably did one of 2 things wrong: not enough silicone, or not screwing the filter on tight enough(what I did first time)

Well, as for the tray...I agree on the superiority of the SRP tray. However I just didn't feel it was worth 3 - 4 times as much as the backscatter :wink:

And I know where my issue was in my first attempt at the SRP blurfix. I definitely did not have enough silicon, especially in the screwholes. I could see where the water was leaking in. The filter was on super tight :wink: I'm going to go diving again this weekend so I'll try out my redone blurfix. If it works then I'll be quite happy. If it doesn't I don't feel like continually messing with it so I'll buy either the blurfix pre-done or the backscatter.
