Underwater video with a gopro question??
 
Just picked up a Gopro 3 and wanting to rig my hd2 for underwater shots. How are you guys rigging it up for this? I want to put it on the mainline if possible.

Thanks
david

There are a lot of problems with attaching your GoPro to your main line. The biggest being how to keep your camera pointed in a particular direction while still having a fishable setup. Without using a lot of weight, you will probably not get much video that isn't bouncing and/or spinning (without attaching the camera to the weight). Even if you do mount it to the weight, you will still need some help keeping the camera from spinning. Then there is the weight/resistance added to the fishing rig, and associated tackle needs. The increased risk of loss if you are not using enough weight to keep your camera in the view of your FF (Snags).
