Hey all,

I want to attach a Gopro Tripod Mount on my mask like ive seen on lots of Youtube Videos, but I would need to buy a new mask for that. I currently own an Omer Zero mask and it has nowhere for it to be drilled into without a leak. Anyone know of/use a Low Volume mask with good Perifable vision that could have a camera mount attached to it? Id like any Opinions.

Thanks,
Jaka

I think you might find that people use these ...

Also have heard of people using these, onto the straps of your mask...

Yeah, I wouldn't be drilling into your zero. I've seen people do it with the Mares X-Visions and it seems to work pretty well, but on that note, the X-Visions are a high-volume scuba mask, and aren't very fun for freediving (In comparison to your zero that is).

I use a gun mount, and find that works the best, but otherwise head strap all the way..... (make sure to tether it to your mask though... those headstraps can come lose and you dont wanna loose your gopro).

+1 for the gun mount! You move your head a lot more than you think when diving!

I currently have a gun mount which works great, but i prefer footage from a head mount. I might look into getting a Head Strap mount,
Anyone find them annoying underwater? I guess i can always try it out and if its just not working for me, i can just take if off and attach it to my gun instead.

For versatility and not the same old boring guncam shots or massively moving head shots, try holding in your hand instead. Quite a number of users have lost their cameras due to head mounts.

Whenever mine is in the water with me not mounted its attached to a short springy boogie board strap.

I'm in the process of making a kind of shorter gopole, ill post results when im done. I have the head strap but as Brett says, I think hand held is more interesting/you have more control of what's in frame.
