Underwater Tripod: Stable and Adaptable - YouTube
Sorta DIY tripod using SRP's camera tray wing piece, I call chevron. It's much more stable than a mono pod type and more stable than a typical tripod where the legs all converge to one point. After experimenting with design (see below) built this version. Can publish a parts list if anyone interested but used 3/4" locline tubing and adaptors/connectors and misc hardware from Lowes and Home Depot and sinkers from Walmart.
Used a GoPro in demo but it works great with larger UW cases and you can fit the 3"OC double slugs Ikelite case on the tray and hang the GoPro as a backup.
The stability give a new dimension to underwater video
Previous version with critter cam setup
Torruji Underwater Critter Camera - YouTube
And this one using Ikelite Housing

As you see the 1/2" Locline was too "squishy" and 3/4" will be better
.
