Does anyone dive with a large underwater camera rig?
Where do you put this on your harness to stay balanced?
Thanks,
Lewis

When I dive with my camera, it is in my hands when I swim around. When I am descending or ascending it is clipped of to my right d-ring.
I recently came back from a trip where a 100-150m swim from the shore to the best bits of a drop off were, for that I had my normal bolt snap tied to the base and added a bungie loop on the other side where I could clip a double ender too. For swim time I folded the arms over, attached the double ender to the loop, clipped the bolt snap to my left d-ring and the double ender to my hip d-ring, just like carrying a stage.
The bungie loop kept the rig tight against my body tucked under the arm in my slipstream. It was rather easy to swim with even when the current picked up.

I haven't been about to try this out but I'm going to try and strap it up a-la deco tank style on the left side.
