getting nauticam nex5n with 18-55 port neutral ?

[stargost]

For those who are lucky to already have this rig, how much does it take to make it neutral ?

details on any combination you have would be useful (with arm, type of strobe and/or video light) but i'd be especially interested just to get the camera case neutral first (with the dual arm handler)

Thanks !

It is heavy, I use two 8 inch STIX arms and it still sinks with 2 Inon S2000 strobes. Still trying to figure out what it will take to make it neutral.

Would attaching glowsticks with tie wraps help? For any housing?

My NEX5 Nauticam housing is slightly positive with the camera in it. The strobe makes it negative, but not too bad. I haven't figured out the exact amount it would take to make it neutral.

try putting a small water bottle with air inside it for positive buoyancy, or add foam

which lens and port, mine with the 18-55 sinks quite well

nauticam with 18-55 plus inon z-240 is quite negative alone.
i had a water bottle with bungie cable onto it and it was just positive.

try foam as well, water bottle is just a more DIY approach lol
