How would this monopod hold up underwater if used for scuba?

I used it for snorling in the Bahamas, I think it would be good because it doesn't float. It does fill up with water though and it's kind of hard to get it out .

My husband says that he believes that the pole will hold up during scuba diving.

Just returned from a trip to the Bahamas and this pole was awesome. I used it everyday. I took it in the saltwater to scuba and swam in the pools with it. So far, this is one of my favorite items for my GoPro.

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

It works well for scuba diving. I prefer the video quality to the GoPro and Contour because of the video stabilization. You will need to purchase the ADA-RD1 with the flat port for underwater. Happy shooting

I had mine more than 2 years now and I guess it should be fine. It works fine underwater. So without using it should not compromise it's function.

I've never tested it out as far as waterproof, but it is a dense canvas and the insides and camera inserts are plastic so I would assume it's waterproof. I don't think it has a grip for tripods. There is a 2 inch strip on the back where something could be attached. The loop it makes is not big enough to slide a tripod through, though. A monopod, maybe.

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

Never used it underwater, I would say that it would probably short out. I works get on land. It lifted all my vehicles no problem.

It should handle that fine. I can fit my entire SCUBA set up in it except a tank.

It would probably do so, fits standard threads, I have it on a Vortex tripod. HOWEVER, it's pretty stout...so it would probably be pretty heavy for a monopod.

I mounted it on my tripod & it worked out pretty good. I think it will also work with a monopod.

Friends of ours took it scuba diving with success, though you should keep its max depth in mind. My husband and I took it snorkeling and dove to about 15-20ft easily with no problems. It's probably one of the best purchases we have made, and the pics turned out great!

Its a buoy not a dive handle. I don't think its been tested for use at depth as its mainly suited for use on the surface for preventing the camera from permanently sinking to those depths. If you intend on using it for diving you may be better off using a float designed for that depth

Yes, i've had mine for a year and a half now. Probably have 40lbs worth of dive gear in it, and i carry my gun on top of the back, pinched between the handles. The mesh is super strong, the sides are the most resilient. No issues with it yet.

I'm sure it wouldn't hold the weight of a DSLR. I have a larger GorillaPod designed for micro 4/3 cameras and when I tried to mount a Canon 7D on it, it was very frustrating because the legs kept collapsing due to the weight.

I'm not sure what you are asking but I can tell that I have this monopod for about 6 years now and it works just great for me. I liked it because it is very long and the price is very good. The quality is realy good enough for me as I'm not a pro. good luck.

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

I feel its durable enough to submerge underwater and do whatever you want to do under water just be mindful of any plastic that's in front of their lenses to be sure its smooth and it would probably come out fine.
