Camera Setup Buoyancy Question

[JMGibson]

Hi All, I just purchased 2 BigBlue 4200 lights for my GoPro 7 and am now trying to figure out the rest of the set up. Will a standard tray with flex arms be fine or should I add some buoyancy like floating arms. I leave for Socorro in a less than 2 weeks and don't have a chance to test dive a set up right now.

Thanks!

I don't have experience with float arms, but if you are worried about buoyancy with your flex arm set-up, you could buy a set of these, and add/remove as needed.

I have a hero7black, supersuit, aluminum tray and 2x bigblu 4200 lights... Hey, so do you! I purchased 2 chinese 8" carbon fiber float arms off Amazon for about 30 bucks each and they make my rig almost neutrally buoyant. A little negative, but a hell of a lot better than no flotation. For $60, it's certainly worthwhile
