Nice Michael. I didn't know you dive so deep. There must be better quality pics, pm me your facebook link/name.

hehehe nice one Mike

So when you're talking about water intrusion you mean the kayak's inner compartments?
-
hau, what's the difference between your new scupper pro and the old?
-
Nice. But I wouldn't want my dog to figure out he can open the fridge

Marco, wait a little bit. I will have coated shafts shortly. What length and diameter do you need?

Apparently it's copyrighted so Youtube keeps deleting it but people keep uploading it. I edited my post and linked to another vid which is part of news footage so it will probably stay. The faces are blurred out on that one though. Why is it that it's always some little skinny kid that's a bully, I knew a couple like that. It's a sweet day when their victims reach the breaking point and their make belief world turns upside down, literally in this little punks case.

Don't be so bashful and let them see your prototype <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">

Sounds like you're overpowering the gun then and your issue is not shaft overhang. I think everybody overpowers their gun in the beginning, I did.
-
Diesel, in this case shaft overhang is not your main consideration. I believe you need a gun with more mass, and/or longer bands, or bands with a smoother pull. It's difficult to become accurate with a speargun when you flinch every time you shoot it. Power is of no use when you can't hit the target.

I knew this vid would strike some cords. I just saw it for the first time today. Well done Casey!

Is the function of these things really any different than taking a snorkel and putting a cap on the end with a smaller hole?
-
It is neat looking but the whole thing seems overly complicated. It's reminiscent of Straight Shaft's style of auto resetting line release except he uses a spring.
I've never used this method, and although I'm sure it works fine, I can't imagine they'd put it on the gun if it didn't, I wonder what the balance has to be between the strength of the spring/bungee and the pull of the wrapped shooting line, to be sure that the shooting line will overpower the spring/bungee for smooth deployment.
Other than that I think it's one of those tricks that would be good as a backup system if something else failed. But a line release that stops resetting automatically is not a life or death situation. And if you're going to be putting all that effort into building a gun I'm sure you're not going to resort to patch up solutions for the line release.
Besides Ihab's auto resetting top line release mech makes all those systems obsolete IMO. You have to feel how smoothly the shaft resets the line release. It wouldn't be any easier to acquire/build/install the Arbafan mech so why not go with an all inclusive and cheaper solution in the first place.

Yes, the battery in the gopro and the battery in the attached bacpac, so approximately twice the working time.

GoPro released the Battery BacPac for the HD Hero camera. It's now available from pursuit http://freedivingspearfishinggear.com/34-underwater-cameras The Battery BacPac is a battery charger and additional battery attachment in one. It includes two housing doors, a Li-Ion Battery, and USB cable.
