So I recently got a housing for my Nikon S200 and I love it. Only thing is it floats, a lot!

Is there a way to add a little weight to it so it would be closer to neutral (but still a little positive)??

I'm sorry but we don't have any weights that attach directly to this housing. The #9523.51 tray and handle would add a little weight to the system and bring it closer to neutral. Or if you were able to locate some circular washer-style weights (or almost any shape with a thru hole) you could attach them to the bottom mounts using 12-24 stainless screws.

If you add weight be sure it's either stainless steel, brass or lead, otherwise you will have a rusted mess on your hands. Aluminum is also ok if you don't need much weight.
