Hi everyone, I need a little insight here... so I upgraded my rig that is now composed by a frame a mirror-less (with its housing), the frame (with carbon floating arms) and a couple of lights for a total weight of 5.2Kg.
I tested the buoyancy in fresh water and it's slightly positive: the camera housing floats at the 3/4 upper level of the dome, and two floating arms are like 2cm out of the water (the rest is submerged due to the lights weight).
Should I expect this to become less positive/neutral/negative after a certain deep? So I should leave it as is?
Unfortunately I cannot test the rig before a trip I'm having next week and I would like to resolve the issue (eventually changing the arms) before moving, rather than trying to find a sub-optimal solution on the place (ie: adding weights etc.).
Does anyone can give to me an idea of what I should expect? If there's no way that it could significantly change its buoyancy I'll try to find a solution before moving.
Thank you!
