Hey All,
While at home depot today to pickup supplies to make a slosh pipe, a very dim light kinda went on...could I just make a tray and handles from 1" PVC? - with about 12" for the "tray" and two 90 degree elbows to 6-8" 1" pvc handles (that would then somehow be connected to loc line arms in my other thread ;-))?
The only cons I could see, besides embarrassing the hell out of my dive buddies, would be if I cranked down on the 3/4" mounting the camera to the pipe too hard and perhaps cracking it over time. And perhaps if I were to go too crazy with drilling drain holes, it may weaken the structure....but other than that it should be ok (albeit very ugly)?
hmm...probably would be a good idea to throw in a few found fishing sinkers in it to give it some weight (my camera + housing is buoyant...would suspect the loc line arms not helping with that either ;-))
Overall cost:
(2) 2' of 1" PVC pipe = 1.60
(2) 90 degree elbows = .96
(\) PVC Cement = 0 (excess from slosh pipe project...otherwise 6 bucks)
(?) Found fishing sinkers = 0
Total = $2.56 (before tax) :-D
Any one see flaws/potential enhancements with this "economy" tray n' handles?
