Show me your mount!!!

[havnmonkey]

Been a while since I've been on the board... Been debating on a new housing and strobes for my Canon, but I decided the cost wasn't as beneficial as a new Hero3S Here are the two mounts I made yesterday... First is an extendable car squeegee pole with a pvc flat top glued to the end with 1/4" SS bolt to tripod mount. total cost: $15

The second is a tray mount. The base is plastic cutting board dremeled into a boomerang shape. The handles are sprinkler pvc segments with flat pvc tops mounted with SS bolts. The gopro is connected to the base with that plastic display mount from the original packaging, a little cutting and some SS bolts. Total cost (so far): $23

I have 3/4" locline from my old housing I will be using to mount lights to the handles via pvc adapters. Looking to do a shallow dive with it next week!!!

The Pro-Holder looks interesting. Anyone know if the backscatter flip3 filter will work with it and a Hero3? Obviously I could not flip all the way back. Also, anyone add dual lights to this? Maybe via the bottom tripod mounts?

I use a proholder (isteadyshot) with my hero 2 and the SRP dome filter, it worked fine. I'm sure you can use the cold shoe mount and just find an adapter to have dual arms coming off for lights. I was using just 1 light but it worked fine.

It's not mine rig but I will share it with you anyway. I found it couple days ago, looks great but too expansive for me (around £580).

There's my rig: 10-minute DIY PVC GoPro Dive Video Rig - YouTube

And here's my extremely crude floodlight setup: View attachment 144246

I wanted to build something, and needed lights for our night dives so I ended up constructing these guys from scratch. Not ideal (I'll probably end up tossing them in the bin) but they do the job!

Got any info on those lights? How you diy'd them?

Just got my proholder and put in a shoe mount for a Fantasea LED 44. Its pretty basic but its small and light and will clip onto my BC nicely.

Did this work good? Where did you get the light mount? and will it work with other lights? The don't make the light that you bought anymore. It looks like the buttons for operating the camera are difficult to get to. Any troubles?

amoses, I have a proholder with a Locline mount that I don't need.

Has worked fine for me on 12 dives so far, clips nicely to my BCD, the buttons are blocked a little but a quick tilt of the camera back or forth and you're in business.
