It is a Sporasub Samurai Elite. Some masks need to have the bolt running vertically instead of horizontally depending on how the frame is designed. I can't feel the head of the screw when I wear the mask. And the lens is from EyeofMine, but there are many flat lenses available today.
Does anybody know the brand and model of the mask? Or do you have a tip for a mask that would be suitable for this kind of modification? So far I haven't found any that could be modified this way.
Please be careful when mounting the camera on the mask, it's VERY DANGEROUS if you use it to look at caves. A nylon or a net can get stuck between the camera and the mask and the only solution to free yourself will be taking the mask off. You can imagine that's not a good thing to do if you are trapped with a nylon...
I experienced this problem myself, please be careful !
1-why have you mounted a flat lens with a bigger diameter instead a just fit lens (I'am wondering 'cause I have seen others with that customization), and more, the lens is ot in polycarbonate or in pure glass ???
2-the big head of the screw is it a problem for the diver head ???
man that lens on the go pro look like junk but prolly does the job well. I ended up getting the aquapixs lens from Germany with the color correction filter. Works like a dream :)
The ring is a modified flat lens. The go pro comes with a curved lens that takes blurry video underwater. You have to change the lens for underwater use.
How long is the stainless steel 1/4 inch 20-thread screw? 1-1/2" Length?

Might be best just if the bolt does bother you to use a flat headed bolt instead.

does the weight of the camera bother you when diving ? The overall balance is confortable ?
