Re: hands free mount demo - FREE mount offer
We would like to offer 2 free mounts to the first 2 people to reply to this thread.
Here's a review done by a Pro diver in Florida.
"So far it is the least obtrusive mount I have used, You can pretty much forget about it, but you should check after doing a back roll entry, etc, to confirm that the camera is still in alignment and aimed properly. You can't crank it down super tight because you may want to adjust the angle as you body position changes, so it needs to be loose enough to do that. I don't think I adjusted the angle, nor even checked it for this dive.
My conclusion... it seems like another tool in the Go Pro box of tricks."

Hey Winky,
Do you only freedive or are you scuba diving also? We still have the free offer if you want to try the mount and review it and post some video.
We also have a vest for freediving that holds the GoPro on the shoulder.
Let me know if you want to try a mount out.
Thanks Julie

Check out what Eric had to say about using the mount as a wrist mount.
"s I mentioned, I couldn't wear the BC during the snorkeling, but I did use it attached to my hand as well as just holding on to it. For that, it worked remarkably well and I was surprised by that. I didn't have the smoothest water for the snorkeling, but it worked well enough that I REALLY want to use it on a dive to see just how much smoother it is (or how much jerkier it is due to my body movements).
The construction quality was top notch. The strap piece is thick enough that you can manipulate it with dive gloves on if necessary (yes, I tried this) and it is long enough so that you can attach it to your BC or your wrist while diving. The arm seems quite solid and should give you a long service life. And the joint that I was concerned about originally is tight, but not so tight you have to worry about breaking it. It stays in place while in the water! What more can you ask for?
If you do opt to use it on your wrist, you just have to be sure to set a camera 'angle' while diving and keep your arm pointed at what you want to film. Not the easiest or most comfortable, so I opted to just hold it at the strap portion to stabilize the camera.
The actual video quality is a lot better before uploading, but here's a YouTube I shot while snorkeling of my wife feeding the fish in the Bahamas.

After just using this in a handheld fashion, I'm really excited to try this attached the way it was originally intended on the BC. It's definitely a quality product to satisfy a niche in the diving video market! I've even thought about trying to use it on my Jeep while offroading, but haven't done anything with that yet."
Happy Diving
