About Us

RegMount was designed by divers, for divers. We are a small team based in Florida, USA, and we spend as much time underwater as we can. Everything about our regulator camera mount comes from that time in the water: what worked, what didn’t, and what we kept wishing someone would build. RegMount is the world’s only regulator-mounted video camera adapter, and it exists because we needed it ourselves.

Our story: from spearfishing to every kind of dive

RegMount started as a camera mount for spearfishing. If you’ve ever tried to film a hunt, you know the problem. Both hands are busy with the speargun, your line, your float and your catch. A handheld camera is out of the question. Mask-strap and head mounts tend to point at the sky or the sand, and you never know what they’re actually framing. Chest mounts end up filming your own arms and gear. We wanted footage that showed exactly what we saw, without changing the way we dove.

That gave us a short, strict list of requirements. The mount had to be completely hands-free. It had to be simple, with no fiddly parts to fumble with gloves on. And it had to be positioned so the diver could always see where the camera was pointing. Nothing on the market met all three.

So we went outside the box. Every diver already has one piece of equipment that sits right in front of the face and follows the head: the regulator second stage. When you look at something, your regulator is pointed at it too. Mount the camera there and you get a true point-of-view angle. You can see the camera in your lower field of vision the whole dive, and it sits in front of the exhaust, so your bubbles go up and behind the lens and stay out of the shot.

Making that idea work underwater took a while. We spent three years testing, which in practice meant a lot of diving, and went through ten prototypes before we had something we were proud to sell. Each version got better on the things that matter: how securely it holds, how comfortable it is during a long dive, how little drag it adds, and whether you can still reach the purge button.

What our customers taught us

Once RegMount was in other divers’ hands, they started using it in ways we hadn’t planned. Some swapped the mount onto their octopus (alternate air source) to shoot selfies and buddy shots, holding the octo out at arm’s length to frame themselves against the reef. Others used the octo setup to probe under rock shelves and ledges, slipping the camera into spots where they would never put their face or hands, to film lobster, eels, and whatever else lives back there. Plenty of divers use RegMount as a light mount too, so the beam always follows their gaze.

That’s why we call RegMount the best and last camera and light mount you will ever need. One small adapter covers POV video, selfies, ledge inspection and hands-free lighting. If you want ideas, read our guide to creative ways to use RegMount.

Five problems we set out to solve

Most dive videos have the same few problems. RegMount was built to fix each one.

What we stand for

We judge every design decision against seven words. If a change doesn’t serve them, it doesn’t ship.

Design principles

Over three years and ten prototypes we settled on a few rules that still guide every RegMount part we make:

• The regulator comes first. RegMount must never get in the way of breathing, purging or exhausting. If a design blocks the purge or crowds the exhaust ports, we throw it out.
• The diver must be able to see the camera. If you can’t see it, you can’t be sure it’s recording or still attached.
• Use the standard mount. RegMount works with all versions of GoPro cameras and similar action cameras that use the standard GoPro-style mount, so you can keep the camera you already own.
• Fit as many regulators as possible. The clamp fits most scuba regulators with a second-stage body diameter of 2 3/8″ to 3 1/8″ (60–80 mm). Check yours with our Regulator Fit Guide.
• Keep it repairable. Clamps and chin stabilizers can be replaced on their own, like the stainless steel replacement clamp and the comfort chin stabilizer, so one worn part doesn’t mean buying a whole new kit.

Quality and testing

RegMount was tested the way it is meant to be used: on real dives, over and over, by people who dive a lot. That included reef dives, spearfishing trips, shore dives and boat dives, in the kinds of conditions recreational divers actually see. Each prototype showed us something new about comfort, clamp tension, camera angle or how the parts held up to salt water and sun. What we learned went into the final product, which is built for recreational diving use.

We use a custom stainless steel clamp because it holds firmly and resists corrosion when it’s rinsed and cared for. A protective silicone band sits between the clamp and your regulator housing to protect the finish and improve grip. A small practical note from our customers: the clamp uses a metric nut, so reach for a metric wrench or driver if you need one. You’ll find the full process in our installation and assembly guide.

Customer service the old-fashioned way

RegMount is a small company, and we like it that way. When you call or email, you reach real people who dive, often Michael or Shawn, and our customers mention both of them by name in their reviews. We answer fit questions, help with installation, and sort out order problems personally.

One story sums up how we work. A customer had a dive trip coming up and was worried their order wouldn’t arrive in time. Shawn upgraded the shipping to FedEx and then phoned the customer to make sure the package arrived before they left. We don’t treat that as a special favor. It’s how we think customer service should work.

A community of divers who film

Our favorite part of running RegMount is seeing what divers bring back: reef footage from Florida, wreck penetrations shot by properly trained divers, close encounters with turtles and rays, spearfishing hunts, and plenty of octo selfies. Have a look at our RegMount videos and read what other divers say on our testimonials page.

We also write practical guides on everything around the camera, including the best GoPro settings for scuba diving, color correction and filters, and managing task loading with camera gear. You’ll find them all on the Dive Video Blog. If you shoot something you’re proud of, send it our way. We love seeing it.

Dive shops, instructors and resorts can carry RegMount too. Learn more on our dealer page.
