Love the new Battery Bacpac for the extra filming time it allows... EXCEPT that I can't use it with the standard headmount. The extra back portion forces the camera to be angled down at least 30degrees. 
New gopro issue with extended battery

Are you using the original gopro head mount for diving? What's it like?
Now you may have to mask mount the gopro.

When you come by we can make a nice cf mount that works with the pack

I love the headmount... seems to work well. I just put my hand up to my face & feel to make sure the face of camera lense is on same plane as mask. This, in turn, ensures that the camera is pointing right where I'm looking.
Now... I removed the battery bacpac from my headmount & went back to standard. I have another gopro with a battery bacpac on it... but since it's not as user-friendly, I don't come anywhere near using up the battery. Maybe I'll dust off my tinman mount & use it for that.

I didn't realized that the gopro head mount is being used for diving. Truth is it felt so wobbly outside the water I never considered it for underwater. Have you compared it with the mask mount?
-
I thin Harry is using a head mount with great success. I know he made a sort of hat for his though
-
Harry's mount is different, it sits on the top of his head like a teletubby.

Nope, I like my masks now (2 Mantis LV's) & don't want to drill a $100 mask.
This is what I've been using:
http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/head-strap-mount/Here's a pic of same setup I use, on Carter:
I like that I can put it on & take it off easy. Doesn't get in way. If I'm going fast, I can feel it wobble a bit on descent... but that just tells me to slow down.
-
The Mantis LV doesn't look like it has enough meat on the frame in that area to support a bolt anyways. It's an expensive mask, I'd sell it for less. I tried buying it but Gull has an exclusive with Riffe.
What's the red lanyard for?
-
Nothing beats this! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Super comfortable, streamline, and does not move.

He has a tendency to lose things... it's a leash between his mask & camera so he can lose both at the same time. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Wow, Dan wasn't kidding... teletubby indeed. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Harry, how do you have the mount secured to your hood?
-
I got the mount sowed into a removable hood. Scuba divers have these Velcro strapped caps for their head.

Did you use the surf mount?
