I measured 36cm from one shekel to the other. How long should be the paracord? 10m?

 

 

I use 12:1. So (36cms minus a little bit for the connectors) x12

 

Bon courage!

I also made some - which work fine for me and my way:

There are two styles to handle the camera: handing it into a boat or carrying it a more or less longer way to the shore.

Also it's not easy to attach boltsnaps to the seacam strobe arms. So i made some smaller modifications:

 

Between the clamps a made a kind of hooks (seacam sells them but you can built them by your own with a pair of pliers and some 1.5 mm stainless stell wire) where a small lanyard can be attachted. This is good as handle but wouldn't recommend to use this to hand it in a boat. For that i have a pretty long lanyard to attach to the housing. It's as long that it reaches up to the small lanyard which fixes the strobearms (i also fix the strobe with a bungee to the arm). Then it is really easy to handle the camera even if the boat group is a bit harsh with the handling. During the dive i put both lanyards on an D-ring (i dive a wing, so they go in the waist D-Ring).

The second one i use is when i have to walk quite a few meters to the shore (like in the Netherlands when walking over a dyke to get into the water). It's sometimes pretty exhausting carrying the camera and the dryuit with weights over the dyke. So i made a smaller lanyard which can be attached to the right housing and the other end will be clipped to the right shoulder D-ring. So the weight of the camera goes onto the jacket and it is pretty easy to walk even a few hundred meters with it.
