nitescuba FAXS Jumbo Float Kit Buoyancy Underwater Float for Ultralight/INON/Sea&Sea Arms/WEEFINE/MINIFOCUS Arms

quality of these floats are great and survived many scuba dive trips without any wear or damage, highly recommend

Works well for what it is. I have a GoPro with a double tray, macro lenses and dual 4300nm strobes. This takes about 2/3 of the weight off the tray. I used two sets, one set (four floats) on each 9" arm. Going to need the large floate if you want it weightless. That's what I would do then add small weights to the tray to make it slightly negative.

It is the second time I order this and each time I only receive the 4 floaters, but no arm. It is pretty clear on the pictures and the description that the arm is included. How can I get the arm once and for all? Will I have to ship it back again?

I was a little skeptical that sliding the half cylinder of foam into the float would clamp it tight on the arm. It is a very tight fit on my Ultralight arms (and takes a strong thumb to jam the half cylinder in). No problems any time after doing giant strides while holding the camera. Very non-compressive, and I was able to add the floats in a way that left my rig slightly negative from 0-100ft, allowing me to shoot one-handed when needed or make very small position/angle changes when shooting macro.

Purchased two sets of the FAXS product as I needed some additional buoyancy for my camera rig after adding an additional strobe and wide angle lens. Already had Styx brand floats so thought I would get these to compare against. Overall they both do the same job of adding positive buoyancy and the FAXS does so at a better price point. The differences really is in the construction. The FAXS are a bit harder to get onto the arms and you are 100% certain they are not going to move because of how much force is needed to put the plug back in. The are also cylindrical with the plug centered. At first I didn't think this would matter but the offset center on the Styx square floats gives some additional movement when pulling the arms in tight. Are these differences a deal breaker? No. If you are cost-conscious or would rather spend your dollars on some other part of your gear these will do what you need.
