Very cool! I think I'll lean on Warren for one though after his kind offer. Now all I need is a well-greased tripod and a chance to go diving again... Mike...

... Well, that sounds like an interesting idea. However, I'd be more inclined to modify a hundred dollar (or less) tripod head than I would to modify a $1500...
Oh, and I'm also considering ditching the normal tripod "head" for something more simple and robust. My feeling so far is that I can do pans and tilts and...
... The reason the handle sounds good to me is that it's separate from the housing (at least on USVH housings), and is a simple piece of plastic that doesn't...
How's this. The Loc-Line pieces that those of you with our lights know about also includes hollow sections that can be snapped together for pieces of at least...

... Warren, How about also a quote for making a few aluminum (or steel?) plates (1/4" thick aluminum or 1/8" thick steel?) with about the same footprint as the...

Hi Mark, et al, First of all, velcro won't work because of the sand. It would get clogged during the first dive trip and lose all of its holding properties....

EWA marine makes a housing that would suit these purposes. They are rain proof and submersible to 10 feet or so, but being soft would not withstand much...
Marius: you've got a Sony? Buy the Sony "SportPack" (since it doesn't have the 40Metre-rated O-Rings of Sony's "Marine Pack" housing, the price is less). ...
Re: [uwvideo] mounting tripodI assume you mean this might disturb the position of the housing because there should be no concern about breaking the handle. You...
