My personal GoPro setup

[gstrek]

Can anyone share how the GoPro mounts to the NS-10 tray? I looked at the various pics on Amazon but couldn't sort it out. I don't have a Go Pro; instead I have the Ace Pro but their mounts are similar.

Similar to my tray, I bought an Ultralight GoPro Tripod Mount with 1/4" Mounting Thread. Although I have a DJI Osmo Action 4 the underwater housing has a GoPro mount. This Ultralight tripod mount works perfectly.

Those trays with 1/4-20 screw mount (commonly called tripod mount) for GoPro can be ordered from Amazon for $6.99 (3 adapters).

Here’s mine on SeaLife SeaDragon 3000 tray, which has the same 1/4-20 (tripod) mounting screw on the tray.

Thanks...So that's where all your great video comes from, eh?

Thanks! I’m glad to hear that.

I like the flip +15 MacroMate for closed up video. The flip design eliminates bubble traps between the GoPro and wet lens.

Also I agree with @JasperLuijkx about there is no reason to add a wide angle lens to a GoPro which has already a wide view.

I find it hard to realize why one would add a wide angle lens of 200 euros, to a Gopro which already has a wide view?

If you want to get a closer look of a small animal, just flip MicroMate onto the GoPro, as shown in these videos

Do you have settings you recommend on the gopro its self? I found that my video on the gopro 11 was really shaky and some times juddery even with hypersmooth on.

I would try to hold the tray with both hands or use pointer to stabilize yourself with pointer on dead rock or sandy bottom if you are filming near the bottom.

As far as GoPro 11 settings, here’s mine:
