not to worry jeff, i can use it as an on land housing when your testing is done and will just put the original lens back on for fisheye land filming.

very nice work hau...the fish is cool too.

i am a big fan of both girls

pretty cool. I have thought about that before but never seen a sit on top that small..

It has the huge advantage over a float of being able to escape onto it if the tax man appeared and was aggresive. I would like to see the yak if you can remember the name.

very interesting info right there...thanks for sharing that..

can we see a pic of your tilting housing arm R, or is that classified?

not one bullseye Don...weak <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

thank you, that makes a million times more sense....i kept thinking you meant to attach the terminal tackle to the line itself.

boat is looking good there, too clean, needs some fish on the deck <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

oh, there is a breakdown in communication somewhere. your previous post about the floatlines mentioned that you secure the clip or quick link with a uniknot, I just didn't understand where this uniknot was.

Quote from Don Paul

The worst case Is with muzzles and metal wish bones that go in to notch's and can hang just as the last foot of shaft leaves the muzzel forming a bow tie shape. I went and picked up some of my film to copy to digital so I can share it with the members here in the future.
Cheers, Don

i watched a video i had of a fouled shot and the thing that really jumped out at me was the word "bowtie" that is exactly what happened in the vid..the shaft is passing the bands and they are cavitating and moving up and down, the shooting line appears to touch the wishbone and then snap- bowtie!

i think it is a matter of friction between the wishbone and shooting line...i would imagine the slicker the surfaces of both, the less this might happen..

nice, that was what I had assumed...good looking out

you said you tied each with a uni-knot but used to use a regular knot and that worked as well, i didn't see any knot so I also asked, what knot?

quoted-
"I secure the float line to a quick link or the other snap I mentioned with a uniknot, although for a long time I've used a simple loop knot without a problem."

i like to splice the floatlines as Dan's image showed as well..I just bind the part where the splice ends, no knot..where is your knot Dan?

Jeff, that is a beautiful first idea... I think the execution is perfect and I look forward to testing it

what are your thoughs about the integrity of the screw holes in the housing...can it handle having the lenses changed with any regularity or should this be only taken apart as needed for repairs etc.

Rambo makes a good point about the light issue, but to me , and I suspect many others on here, as freedivers, it is the size of this camera that really shines...I will never freedive to a depth below 100' and I will likely never even go close to that. but the lack of drag created by this camera and the ease of attaching it to, wel just about anything, are what make it so attractive.

dont trust a caribiner..they can open

Rob allen line is the same as the polypo clothes line,...i recommend getting a cheap foam filled line (tinman had a good source) or making your own 'tube style" line

great review and report...high praise from a "gear whore" <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

yeah, with a float it is a no brainer

Dan, i am not talking about having any float, but I guess that is a natural evolution and anyone who is not kayak fishing would absolutely do that..kinda silly on my part.

but, purely for academic reasons..would the addition of a bungee aid the fish fighting ability of a short FL, slightly longer than a 'chicken line' as Mike taught us

i liked that idea when you posted it in the other thread...the issue is still having 100 ft of line in 30-40 ft of water..i might try that though with my full 100 next time and see how it works...i feel like i'd be surrounded by line a t all times and that is scary to me

that was a great report...thank you mike..i enjoy your style of telling very much.

nice review too...I might want to look into the vest...What are you going to be charging for them Dan?

and a gentleman to boot... class
