JVC Picsio / Ike Housing ?

[ps1mhd]

I just got one and it is pos buoyant.
The manual said it is neutral.
Is this with the tray mounted or am I missing something?

I apologize for this oversight. You are correct, the JVC and housing will be slightly positive in both salt and freshwater. With a tray and handle attached it will be closer to neutral, and negative with the Pro-V8 attached.

We'll work to get the literature and website corrected to reflect this information.

How much weight do I need to add to get close to neutral?
Or is this a trail and error thing.

I don't have an exact buoyancy rating, and the exact amount of weight needed would vary based on whether you're diving salt- or fresh water. A quick calculation suggests that you might start with about a third of a pound.
