Or you can use a plastic pigstail swivel.

Who cares, it's not like there's a lack of it. I hate cigarettes. Fortunately I almost don't have to deal with them so I forget that I hate them.

Spearing is how I started getting lobster. Anything other than spearing just takes longer, but it is more fun/sporting with a snare. I don't think Bahamas suffers from lack of marine life, which should be the only reason for a rule change. Imagine they can't use spearguns in those shark infested waters, but at least they can spear lobster

But the pics are interesting so maybe not such a turd.

Moved to the Bahamas section.

That is why I omitted the one pic.

LOL

IDK I just saw the pics.

Good idea. You can slide it on/off as needed.

Nice fish Ephraim.

Please resize your pics before posting, the AJ pic was 3.15mb, and was making the page take forever to load.

The GoPro can be easily mounted on the Speardiver Stealth Mask using the compatible GoPro Mount.

To mount the GoPro on other masks I use the Gopro tripod mount. Drill a hole in the mask for the tripod mount bolt, cut the bolt to correct length and that's it.

In the water you can't feel the camera on your head at all, the camera points exactly where you look, and moving the head looking from side to side does not create jerky footage. It's easy to reach for the buttons by feel, and the beep sound of the camera starting to record is clearly audible.

Another couple of advantages of mounting it this way is that you can easily pivot the housing down and away from the mask to be able to open the back of the housing and remove the camera from the housing. And that you can easily remove the housing/camera completely leaving just the tripod adapter on the mask, it doesn't weigh anything and you won't even remember it's there.

Some pics of the Gopro with the replacement lens mounted on a Pursuit speargun. I was first going to make a vid of removing the original lens and installing the new one, but it turned out to be so easy that a vid is not necessary. The screws come out easily and the new lens fits perfectly in place of the old. I haven't tested it at depth yet but will do so and post a vid. The next thing to do is see with which settings there's a vignetting effect if any, this I can do out of the water.

I plan on selling the Gopro naked for $259, and will include the replacement lens. It will be available here http://www.freedivingspearfish…com/34-underwater-cameras The lens will also be available separately for $42.

Fit is most important, glad we nailed it. What kind of carbon weave is that? I've never seen anything other than squares before. Pretty fish too.

Wow what a huge catalog of useless to us stuff. Mike I think this is the 5 prong you described. What was throwing me off is that in your pic the prongs are curved. Did they bend after hitting a rock with that particular halibut or do you bend them on purpose beforehand?

I can see he's big, congratz.

A big annoyance to me are bands which move freely in the band slot, and change position after every shot, which requires aligning them every time before loading. When I make a wood gun I purposefully make the band holes small so the bands are held tightly and never change position. I find that on many Euro guns the muzzle band holes are too big for my preferred 16mm bands.

It was suggested to me to use another band as a spacer to prevent this from happening. I know that when two bands are used in one small hole they also don't move, but I was concerned that a short section will pop out. I haven't used the gun rigged this way yet so I can't say, but I was assured that the rubber tubing spacer will stay in its place.

I shaped mine in a way I thought would occupy the most space, also if I didn't reduce the tubing it would be impossible to get such a short section in there. The band has to be stretched hard before the spacer can be pushed in having been lubed with dish-washing detergent, I achieve this by loading the band. Here's the result and I'll report back whether it works or not. If a black band were to be used for the spacer I think it would look better, but then you wouldn't be able to tell from the pic.
