In this video I explain how I attached a GoPro to a plain SCUBA diving mask. I also explain the problems with having a camera fastened in such a manner and recommend an alternative way to use a GoPro while you are snorkeling or diving in the river looking for treasure.

Hi Aquahigger thanks for sharing your experience. I have had no experience with action cameras before and I had planned to wear one on my head. I will now instead aim for a hand one. Have you tried a chest mount? I was also considering this.
you could always recommend that they use the suction cup mount on the glass of their mask…LOL … Great video I was thinking about doing the same addition to my mask and I have the same kit just under a different name. I think my favourite piece is the suction cup mount. I have the wrist mount but there are 2 differences. it looks like the strap is neoprene on mine and on the top plate it actually swivels from side to side. Thanks for posting.
Thanks buddy this is cool
Great video, I’m been trying to find something to help with my go,pro. Lost it once already, but found it. Going to try the wrist strap hand mod, thanks!
Will that glue stand the test of time if you dive a lot? Especially in salt water
That mask looks like it has a lot of internal volume. Jesus.
Will that glue hold up to hot temp weather I dive here in AZ and am worried my gopro will come off while diving
lol I got that kit when I got my GoPro, broke on of the piece and it fit great
Thanks Chigger!
Always good to hear new ways of doing things. I personally don't like to carry too much around my hands – mainly for emergency reasons that gladly never happened but must be always anticipated. Also, I stuff things in pockets and any hand mount can cause a problem. When emergency happens, better to have hands free of clatter. Obviously there is never best solution and no matter from what point of your body something sticks out it may cause emergency itself. As for cameras, I use something like this: Phantom Aquatics Quick Release Coil Lanyard with Clip and SS Split Ring attached to BC. If needed, it can be extended to a good length and I can operate it with both hands. If not in use, it can be tagged close to the body.
Love your videos, but you lose a lot of frames at times.. is it in the original recording or in your encoding? other than the frame drops i love everything you do and are 😀 SPECIALLY the river treasure hunts hehehehe
You can get a padded hand mount specially made for that purpose. Fairly cheap aswell. Just search GoPro hand mount
Great vid Beau! Now for me to find a Go Pro…. HWH….
You are quite handsome, sir 🙂
0.05 his face LOL
subscribe to me plz
How about a review of all your finds in the shop?
het bud, what are you still using army surplus boots? in your last video it looked like you were using another type of water proof wader boots? they didn't look like milspec boots.
I use a similar wrist mount for my snorkeling video that I made a few weeks ago. If you want to see it go to my channel and look for the video "I'm Back".. I can post a picture on Chiggs Army FB Channel too.
In the winter season I would like to see more videos of your sitting like this in the relic room sharing some history and artifacts with us. Kind of like a treasure TV show or something. Think about it thanks
The MOAR videos the better, Chig. We also like feature length adventure vids.!
i dont belive you actully give back the money you found in wallets
i wanna see one time you shoot a video that shows a real person that you give him his wallet back1
Can you show a tour of all your items you've found hanging on the walls please!?
Love your videos, whether your teaching me something or treasure hunting, I enjoy them, they are entertaining and educational. Thanks Chigg.
stop wait did you use hot glue gun?? fo the go pro
Check out eBay. They have a wide range of masks. Ranging in price from 15 to 475.
Great video,I would love a go pro but they are expensive do you have any experience with the cheaper versions on ebay they are about £30 they look very similar i was wondering about the quality thanks.
nice and tight cause you don't want to lose your go pro?????? did you ever get any joy from the pump scammers?
Howdy mate!
Aquachigger I love your River treasure videos!
I'm actually thinking to do it myself
But one question is the GoPro hero+. Good for this kind of stuff
And also can u please give me some advice of river treasure
Cheers!
Bought the package for my sony action camera only to find out that they send you the gopro attachments with 1 adapter for your sony. Not much use with one adapter when you have all these different options. Or do they think there customers will change over the fittings every time they need to use a certain attachment. And if you're like myself and use more than 1 camera then dont bother with this package unless its just for the gopro.
can you show us all of the relics that you have found please chigger
Did you have any training for diving . what was your original job. bryan from the uk
hi everyone
Instructions unclear. Glued mount on head. Currently in emergency room
Remember children if you lose it in the river aquachigger will glue it to himself!.
Don't give them tips, Mr Ouimette! Once they wise up you'll not be finding all that wonderful Go-Pro treasure!
you should look into 360 degree cams the underwater vids would be epic they are just about as big as a go pro.
I like these videos thrown in. From watching your videos about the gear you use helped me decide what to get so I wouldn't have to go through the trial and error process.
Aquachigg you might like a chest mount. Wraps around your chest.
how many go pros have you found and how many have you kept
I don't dive, I don't own a GoPro, and I don't have a diving mask. But I do like how-tos
If you guys buy a gopro kit for the Wrist mount make sure you guys get the wrist mount Chigg has in this video. I got a similar one in a cheap kit just like his but it was adjustable and seemed sturdy but it ended up breaking and I lost one of my gopros in the river. BEWARE!!
Really liked the your earlier posts (years ago) providing information on how to find treasures and use metal detectors.
Not sure giving instructions on how to mount a gopro is much different than how to wipe your butt.
Please quit caving into y-tube subs and get back to the basics of why you started this channel. Go for quality over quantity, please!
Hey chigger do u ever go out sifting for arrow heads ?
Oh and do u carry a weapon I mean what do u do if you get too close to a water moccasin or other snakes falling out of trees and such? Never saw a pistol or anything in ur videos
