Wow, if that can't capture awesome underwater shots, I don't know what else can! Talk about a hefty setup.

 

[mafiaman]

housing: Equinox ProPak6 with view screen
Lights-1:2 Dive Rite slim lines 10w HID
Lights-2:2 Dive Rite 75w 24v halogen
Sled: DIY PVC, Aluminum, and stuff.
Land weight: (guessing) 30 pounds dry
Sea weight: neutral (pretty darn close)

You have any recent HD movies? Would love to see what you have been diving....

You have them on a site anywhere?

 

[mafiaman]

The issue with posting "HD" video on line is down load speed, in true HD 15 clip would take 45-60 minutes to down load (it would be about 1 gig)

So I have to do my best reducing them to make it a reasonable down load.
If you still have that link I emailed you feel free to post it. (If I do it, it will be misconstrued)

That is some piece of equipment! How many frequent flier miles does it have on it? Or just FL and GA so far?

 

[kevin]

takes a serious diver to have a piece of equipment like that

It would have to have it's own seat! No it only travels in the motorhome. I just take my DC500 when I fly.

Sorry ,the music put me to sleep half way thru,LOL. Awesome video,where was this dive at?

 

[mafiaman]

I tried Black Foot, and the Scorpions, but the music just some how did not go with the footage. Some how Jimmy Buffet just seemed to click.

Jimmy is always good, Was that a night dive? How deep look like a long way down the rope. Nice shooting, made me feel like I was there and havent dove in 5years.

The dive was on the Eagle a wreck off of Islamorada, at 110 feet, yes this was a night dive. By the way, the attack of the small Bar Jacks @ 4 minute and 12 seconds into the film was totally unsolicited and on the original tape you could hear the banging on the camera housing. Was kind of creepy when it happened. I swear my wet suit was clean!

 

[jefft]

Great video, makes me miss diving. I haven't dived in 20 years. Get any frags? lol Jeff

Well after some redesigning and some paint (thanks to the hippy chick across the street) my video sled has been reworked a little to make it dead on neutral in the pool = about 1 Oz. positive saltwater and to stream line it a little.. Well here it is now I placed it in the middle of the water column and swam around it.
