I dove today with an HF-1 + Float and Atom with Snoot. The HF-1 was weightless

How did it “feel” in water (balance, etc.) vs no collar and more traditional arm floatation?

I was using the overall buoyancy setup i use with the Retra Maxi strobes. So it would be pretty negative with the Backscatters. The HF-1 float fully negated the weight of that strobe so the rig ended up much lighter. I loosened the arm and it would float around freely.

The Atom was still negative by 150grams or so and and the rig was noticably unbalanced. I will print a second float for the 2nd HF-1 and do another dive with the balanced setup.
