Trim and Weight Bluefin HD with UWA/80/Flat Port

UWA LENS:

I have been able to trim and weight my housing using the UWA to just slightly negative and completely level. This is exactly how i want it. I purchased L&Ms tripod base mount ($75 I think) and used high density foam. I have the shorter battery pods from my older Bluefin 950 housing. If you are using the bigger pods, this option will need some adjusting. My set up is very nicely balanced, stable and still streamlined. Here’s how I set it up:

  • 2 track weights moved all the way to the back of the rails in the housing
  • Pods attached with batteries inside (when using and not using lights)

(Below are pictures of how I configured my housing)
