I just got an Ikelite video case with the 50w Pro Video Lite. I pool tested it and found it a little negatively buoyant. I'm hoping it won't be positive in salt water.
What is the desired buoyancy of a camera underwater? What feels best? What makes for the steadiest shot?
Buoyancy on camcorder
I like mine just SLIGHTLY (about 1/4 - 1/2lb) negative.
This allows me to set it down, and also to clip it off if I need to for some reason. A positive camera is a real PITA to maneuver in my experience, and makes clipping it off problematic as it gets "in your face" when secured.
