Hi,
I just upgraded from my point and shoot with an old DSLR. The current air weight of the setup without any arms, strobe and light is about 3.7KG.
This weight to go underwater it will probably be around 2.4 KG underwater. But it strain my weaker arms to maintain the stability especially to shoot anything macros.
I tried researching for suitable float arms to reduce the weight under water or a comfortable weight in which most veterans like you. In youtube, saw basic method to achieve neutral buoyancy but that about it.
So, without other strobes and arms to be added yet, I thought of just going for a pair of float arms (partly due to budget) and then decide when I invest in a strobe ... etc later on.
a) What is the comfortable negative weight after introducing the float arms?
b) Any one tried float foam and if they are more effective? I felt that keeping the skeletal ball joints makes adjustments much easier.
thank you all.
