As I am about to head out on a dive trip and will be snooting for the first time, a question occurred to me. Do you folks with snoot experience usually carry the snoot in a pocket and affix it for a subject then stow until needed again, or leave it on for much or all of the dive? I found and bought a suitable pocket to hold the LSD (thank you for the suggestions with that), so that is taken care of. I sort of suspect it makes more sense to carry it in the pocket and attach when needed, but I am curious about what others do.

Thank you for suggestions.

Kind of depends on what you're doing. If mostly snoot, then attach, if mostly macro and occasional snoot, I store it and attach as necessary. I had a large Marelux snoot that barely fit in a large drysuit pocket, but the Backscatter OS-1 easily clips off with a small bolt snap to the camera tray.

The LSD is fairly large. I do have a pocket it will fit in. I think it will be a mix of mostly macro and some snoot, but not sure.

I did some modification to my LSD, to make is eaiser to attach\deattach from the strobe, the major part can be clipped on the BCD for most of the time underwater.

If I'm setup to shoot macro I use the snoot almost all the time - so leave it on.

Like flowdesign, I made a very small modification (see pic) - actually an addition - to my LSD by using a tie-wrap to attach a small shackle at the pointy end. Combined with the loop (and another shackle) already on the LSD, I can clip it on to my BCD or, at a pinch, squeeze it into a Zeagle pocket which I have added to my BCD.
