UnderWater Tripod

[Fishspearit]

old thread, but I wanted to update it with a new product, an adapter for converting the Foldspear into a camera monopod. Now you can have a folding, holstered underwater camera monopod. More about it on this thread http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/sp...available-underwater-monopod.html#post5815088

Foldspear -The only Holstered Polespear

You should yell "CLEAR" before you try to resurrect a dead thread. Someone may be holding on to their keyboard at the time you shock it. Safety first.

I used a 3/8 (I recall that is correct size-but check!) bolt welded to the top of a huge dive knife. I would thrust it into the sand or reef (good heavens!) with the camera attached to the knife.
Focus the camera, place finger on camera triger, lay motion-less and wait for the exact moment.
Has limited uses but like a parachute when you need it you need it--certainly worth welding a nut on to your BIG knife and having it handy just in case.

One never knows!

Necessity is the mother of invention. Very clever.

How about using one of these. They even have Spike feet for them for soft bottoms. Gorrilla pod

Aquatica and Ultralight makes one. Pricy but well made:

Aquatica Digital Tripod

Ultralight Underwater Tripod w/ Adjustable Legs

Yes ... I use an Aquatica one you can order it from Backscatter ... Its hardened alum. and design specifically for corrosive environments.
