A few months ago, I purchased the ikelite housing and two ds-125 strobes for my Canon D20. I am upgrading my package ikelite arms to buoyancy arms from 4th Generation Designs - Products. I have decided that these seem the best way for me to go as my setup is extremely heavy underwater. My question is: what size arms should I get that will suffice me for both wide angle and macro. I just don't want to spend the money on two different size systems. I was thinking about either one 6in arm and one 9in arm on each side or two 9in arms on each side. They also sell 4in, 12in, and 15in. I use a 100mm macro lens and the canon 10-22mm wide angle lens with the 8in dome port. Also, does anyone have any ideas on what size floats I should get for the arms. Currently my setup is pretty darn heavy (but don't know actual oz). It messes a lot with my buoyancy, if I move the rig to one arm, my whole body tilts that way. One time I handed the camera to my sister and I immediately started ascending way too fast and she started sinking like rock. I haven't found any specs on how heavy the ike arms and ds-125's are underwater. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
