Thanks Rambo!

i am assuming acrylic spraypaint ought to do the trick? and how about the screen area, and the led area? can i leave them clear?

Here is a video with my just snorkling with it in the bay by my house

Sorry about that, i accidentaly clicked the german photo hosting site, and must've clicked thumbnail view by mistake.

Here's a larger version:

To stop from light entering in from the rims of the lens and spacer, i added blue electrical tape. that video i posted before was sans the tape, and this little triked fixed that inside reflection issue for the most part

Thanks for the comments!

I am attaching a photo of the modified housing.

You are right, there s some vignetting, esp with 720p, but its not annoying me just yet. Wish i would have gone with a wider lens, but now that i know how easy it is to modify the lens, i can just do it again when the vignetting bothers me. I am assuming i could just machine off the new lens like i did for that o-ring retainer ring, and affix a wider diameter spacer between housing and lens.

I took it spearfishing last weekend to about 30feet, no leaks :thumbsup2: ! The visibility was awful tho, not worth it to post video. i could not see much further than my speartip, and needless to say, i returned empty handed.

Here is a link to the first test with the housing. I am going spearfishing with it tomorrow, and will get more video

Hi People,
I am new to the forum, and relatively new to freediving as well. I ordered a GoPro HD Hero from Gopro's website with the intent of modding it for underwater use. It arrived a few days ago and i just got back from the shop, machining the front face to be perfectly flat. Basically what i did was machine down that O-ring retainer lip. I am just waiting for two parts from the laser cutter: a spacer, and the actual flat port. Both are made from acrylic, same with the housing, so i am going to just acrylic weld them to the housing and have this me a permanent fix. this should be all done tomorrow, and i will port some pics and video of the result. I also got the roll cage mount for mounting it to my speargun, and will hopefully have a video of that this weekend.

Cheers,

Willem
