Logging direction when diving?

[FlutterTubes]

Hi! Quick question.
I would love to overlay my compass orientation on videos.
Does anyone know of a dive computer that can actually log heading (obviously after strapping it somewhere that doesn't move, like backplate or torso)

Have a compass in the view of the camera?

Easier said than done. Believe me.
I already have a reddit thread going on it.

Drag a gps tracker on a surface float.

Cool idea, but not what I'm after.

Closest thing I can think of is the computer system that Suex offers for there DPV's

Other than that you can go old school and use a MNemo but this requires a line

2nd action cam just on the compass and cut it into the final video?

Yeah. I'd rather not. I'm afraid it will be too bulky to dual wield cameras, one of which having a compass attached to it.
I have actually ordered one of these... We'll see how this goes

IIRC Ratio iX3 line has the app for accessing IMU data (and it has a compass of course). No idea if/how it logs it.

That looks really awesome. I would love one of those one day, but it's hard to justify spending +700€ for something that will only be strapped at torso (or similar), not being used as a dive computer.
But thanks for giving the first real answer to my question
