Hi guys,

My camera with the heavy strobes is very negatively buoyant, so I'm looking for ways to make it less negatively buoyant. I know that there are special buoyancy arms available, but I don't really want to change the strobe arms of my camera.

Do you have any experience with attaching "floats" to your camera? What material works well and doesn't compress too much at depth?

You can get schedule 40 pvc pipe with end caps, adjust the size and length to match what you need for buoyancy. It works well and has a very deep crush depth.
