If you are interested, I would also adapt the mount for other dive computers, but I would need photos with dimensions. Important, also with the charging cable etc. attached.

Hi Tino Thanks for the solution.. nice idea.... but I didn't understand why attached the computer at the photo housing...

For me it MUST be on the diver.

Sorry but if you have good argument I ll happy to know it.

Convenience - when you're constantly looking at the camera screen and/or viewfinder, you can check your dive computer for depth/time/NDC/air without looking away. Marelux even makes a 'smart viewfinder' with an integrated depth/dive time/temperature/ascent rate display. This is particularly valuable on blackwater dives where you have little in the way of visual reference as to your location and attitude. If you're worried about losing your computer with the camera, then you should also be worried about your dive computer failing mid-dive, so you should also be carrying a backup, and if you're carrying two, why not mount one of them on the camera?

Blackwater Dive... hummm ok a good argument if you have the information on the viewfinder. Otherwise ???

Personaly I have one dive computer on each arm..I only need to look at right or at left a little bit and I have all information I need. Also the pressure of my tank.

Yes, obviously you can look left and right to check the computer on your wrist, but having it in front of you on the camera is more convenient.

I have two Peregrine computers. I wear one on my left forearm and the other straps to the left inner Nauticam float arm. Why two, because two is one and one is none and I have had computers quit at critical times though never a Shearwater product.

Left right or up it s the same you don't look at the viewfinder 😉

 

On the top of the housing I have allready a gopro or a focus lamp or a compas... depending of the situation  but never without something

So, um, why do you have compass on top of your camera if it's so inconvenient? Why not on your wrist alongside everything else?

 

Also, some of us use screens rather than viewfinders for composition. On DSLRs the viewfinder was important; on compacts or mirrorless it makes little difference.

If I navigate without reference... only need to go in a direction I have my camera at the front of me and I swing straight to find the wrack or what ever I show the compass every 5 seconds 😉 it's totaly something else

I feel so low tech - I just turn the computer on my wrist, so that I can see it when I am holding my camera handle. :)

This is the way. 🖖

No equipment manufacturer is going to get rich with that kind of attitude, vkalia. Up your game, man!

Other solution (but not cheaper...), have a Shearwater Nerd on rEvo rebtreather.

One eye on the Nerd, one on the viewfinder.

Even better than having the computer on the the photo setup.

(Nerd is mounted on the rebreather loop, just facing the eyes)

Hello everyone,
I’m bringing up this older post again — hope you don’t mind.

In the meantime, I’ve changed the mount for my dive computer and now have it positioned directly above my underwater monitor — right where my gaze naturally falls during a dive, especially when I’m taking photos.
I’m curious to see if any new and interesting ideas on this topic have come up since then, even though not everyone understands why one wouldn’t wear their dive computer in the traditional way on the arm.
Personally, my latest setup has proven to work perfectly for me.

The necessary parts are available on Makerworld for the EON Core.

I'm one who don't understand...

I can loose the photo gear... and it happen that I give the kamera to the guide.. and one guide in the past had the right to continue diving with my wife and my kamera after I was going up because I'm near end of air...

When I dive in lac I have 2 dive computer. One on each arm. I can look a little left or right to have all information I need.

I think it's great to have a backup computer and other accessories on the camera. But you need at a least one computer on your body IMHO.

I don't keep a computer on my camera, but I do mount my ER Shears on one camera arm and my heated vest controller on the other. I've seen other mount a compass and mirrors on their camera arms.

After experimenting with off loading my back up Peregrine to my strobe arms I decided I did not like that. It just got in the way so back on my arm it went. Putting the computer on the camera may be a good idea for some but it just did not work for me.

Maybe I give my wife to the guide, but never my camera...😄

I agree it is easier to give my wife as my camera... ( but they is only one I trust enough... A good photographe I learn so much with him in the past.) 🤣
