Hey folks, I just got my canon ixus with underwaterhousing, I want to use it while spearing, if I´m to mount it on the speargun, are there any precausions that I need to take, I have a imersion triaxx100, It´s only got one rubber, a megabooster, do I need something to dampen the shock when I fire, så that the housing doesn´t shake to bits?
Feel free to give full description of your own set-up and experiences.

Nice looking rig but is it going to deflect the bands upward?

haven´t fired it yet but I can load it without problems, and I have filed it down so that the spear i level, hopefully try it tomorrow.

Jim: It´s a 100cm, put on a reel (not to good quality), and 26cm megaboosters, it´s a good gun, good in current under bridges, less drag. The boosters gives quite good power, the gun seems a little skinny with the rods, but the flex is actually minimal, don´t know if it would do good with double rubbers though. as to balance...hm, I´m always too busy enjoying myself to notice

hey Jon, see you made some experiences and ended up with a good result, thanks for the info, haven´t read it all, I´m wundering about the recoil of the gun, does that pose any treat to the housing?

hc
 
It hasn't caused any problems in my experience.

Jon
 
HC,
That looks like a very nice mount you made for your camera. Quality work!

Please report back and let us know how it works out.

Good luck, and I hope you get some great footage.
