Aquired a few items from work, and this is what i came up with.





Ive put the threaded rod trough a hole at the back of the gun, which most spearguns have, so this mount is pretty universal. Pretty good for free

Looks good Jaymz.

those sticky pads dont last long in the water or at least thats what I found. I ended up screwing it to the gun mount as it never came off the gun. If I wanted to use the camera I just loosened the bolt below the housing and left the rest on the gun.


I also found the mount would move with the recoil of the gun and force against water. I solved this by fixing the mount to 2 places to the gun.

Heres a video I made a few years ago with my old gopro which shows the camera moving from the recoil.

i do plan on getting a tripod mount attatchment and fixing it to the plate. And with a bit of luck my misses gets the hint that i want the hd hero 2 and the dive housing for xmas so ill be able to have 2 on the go. I have a hd hero 960 now.
 
got some more materials from work today im gonna have a go at a few more methods. How did you mount it to your head? The gopro headstrap?
 
just screwed the clip mount to the top. I did have an arm extending the camera away from the mask but it kept pulling the mask down

Nice idea mate, ill give that a whirl too. What size bolt u got on there?

cheers for that mako. I have just the thing for that to work. So an L bracket with a zip-tie strapped round it should work nicely then?
