Getting weight off of my rig. Suggestions needed.

[craracer]

My camera rig is quite negative, to the point that my wrists, hands, and shoulders get tired of carrying it underwater.

I'm looking for suggestions and photos of what you are using to keep your rigs neutral.

Housing: Watershot
Camera: T1i
Arms: Inon 2x6" and 2x8"
Strobes: Inon Z240 and S2000
Focus light: Undetermined as of yet, but probably a L&M Sola

A bit of foam around some handle(s)? Think pipe insulation or pool noodle.

I thought about that, but was told by more than one person that the noodles compress at depth. They suggested using closed-cell foam. The only thing I could think of, which uses closed-cell is kayak foam (for seats and whatnot).

Try this stuff it works.

I have been using it for a couple of years and it's good stuff.

Thanks Bill. Being that I have new arms, I wouldn't need the full system. However, I see that they sell the foam blocks for significantly less than what Inon charges. Not quite the same fit, but nothing that a hot wire or razor blade couldn't cure.
