Firedive:
I think this is a perfect example of how everyone's body is different: I have never had the slightest problem, and find it easier to get into unusual positions in my transpac than in my old jacket.
Itsw not body, because we're all within 1% of being neutral. Some systems trim out differently, which is why I gave the wing 3 years of trying different things, to see if it was just trim...afterall, weighting placement is the most common cause of diver trim & orientation challenges.
But what I finally realized was that this wasn't merely trim and that if I would have thought about it earlier, I would have realized that the problem could never be solved by trim:
My anthropometric "on side" orientation for UW photography is shoulder-up, and slightly beyond 90 degrees. The reason for this orientation is to get a "shoot up" angle to the subject to get a bluewater background while also swimming along parallel to the also swimming photo subject (turtle or whatever), which they find less threatening.
Holding my UW camera out to the side like this creates a torque, because it is around -2lbs negatively buoyant: the basic "(mass)(moment arm length) = torque" physics.
That's half the story.
The other half is that I have to have extra +2lbs of air in my BC to keep me+camera at a net of zero neutral. This +2lbs of air can have an effect too.
When I was diving with a Jacket, its air bubble would travel around me, so the extra air (+2lbs) was able to always stay on top of my centerline, so it had a zero moment arm and thus, a zero torque effect: "(mass)(zero arm length) = zero torque".
But with a wing, because there is no 'front' to its bladder, its air bubble can not ever rotate fully around the diver and thus will get "stuck" for certain orientations.
EDIT: Emphasis for RonFrank: this is the bubble effectively getting "trapped", which is utterly inherent to the Wing design: the air cannot NOT be anywhere but somewhere on your back, because there is no bladder anywhere but on your back. The jacket's bladder includes on the front, so its bubble doesn't become "trapped", but can flow to the front side of the diver.
This "on side" is one of them. It might not seem like all that much, but the average Western adult male human torso averages nearly a foot thick, so it has a moment arm, and if you work out the problem, you'll see that it is cumulative with the first one, so the total torque increases by roughly 50%.
This torque is inherent to the orientation and the sub-system components (ie, the camera), so unless this torque is continuously counteracted through effort, you'll always roll back down to where the torque moment arms are again zero.
Its a difference in diving needs, not "body". There is a new "buoyant arms" product by Ultralight for which I could upgrade my UW camera system to reduce its negative buoyancy, but each arm is $55 each (and I need 4 of them), plus four new clams at $35 each, which with S/H and tax would put me at $400 in camera gear widgets on an old Nikonos system that I'm looking at retiring in another few years...I can buy a new Jacket BCD for less than that, and it won't be obsoleted.
