Very negative camera, and positive single strobe

[Maurillo]

Hello all,
any chance I can decently trim such a rig?

The way it is right now, the positive strobe is not enough to stop the camera sinking, but at least it doesn't unbalance the whole rig on one side. Any way to add a centered floater at the bottom of the housing? Would that capsize the whole rig ?

Thanks!!

Yes, it will capsize.
One solution is to use a two-handle tray and put STIX foats on both sides, until you have the buoyancy and right-left trim you want.

I use what turiops mentioned. Depending on your camera and ports you can try a STIX float belt or ring around the port. I've not seen anyone use a float underneath - it will try to be on top (capsize).
