so i pretty much got life figured out

[Quashish]

I thought about putting this in the photography section but im NoPro so, here I shall post. just wanted to share this real quick is all

GoPro adjustable wrist strap

1 length of wire
1 crimp on ring terminal for your selected gauge of wire
bit of shrink tubing
1 zip tie

crimpers
needle nose
scissors
fire/heat



for my ring terminal I had to open it up to fit my wire. and I like a tight crimp.


heat shrink on before you crimp the terminal on


heat shrink and add zip tie not too tight but just tight enough




not meant to be swung on but it works. im using it for scuba diving. just don't want to drop my camera underwater, and don't want to use the head strap and miss something cool because I wasn't looking at it the right way.

This would have been great, except the thread title is a huge fail.

[wed3k]

wow man, you did something that a 12 year old could do. did you also figure out how to tie shoe laces as well?

Haha Yeah Maaaaan that's all I'm saying. I could die happy right now. I beat the corporate gopro system. So basically im fulfilled.

And i haven't tied my shoes since Like 3rd grade. Tie them under the tongue, then you just slip them on like a baws.

The title was supposed to be a joke. If i was serious idk i probably wouldve put it in the diy thread. I really do appreciate the smart assness wed3k i laughed at all the comments.

Life's gonna get really hard when the stress from the constant back and forth motion and saltwater corrodes that terminal over time and next thing you know you're on an open water dive and your wrist gets considerably lighter. Consider getting a good thin boating rope and tie a bowline knot in it.

or

Go to a local motorcycle shop and purchase a master link for a chain, much thicker and stronger than that POS electrical connection.

Not trying to be an a-hole but you didn't think that original design through. May last a dive or two but it has it's flaws. Just don't want to see a fellow diver lose a good piece of equipment to save a few bucks.

I would've soldered the wire to the o-ring, then heat shrinked it.



Nice design though either way.

Yeah if i was going to use it on a regular basis i would use rope or something. I just needed it for this trip. Went snorkeling for like an hour is all.
