How wide is the support disk that the flag sits in?
It looks similar to my OMER America float. the disk on mine isn't that large and any deflation of the tube allows the flag to flop over. Deflation can happen from just dropping it in cool water- air condenses and the whole thing goes limp. i find that I have to re-inflate throughout the day to keep it upright.
there's a lot of buoyancy in the things- I can strap at least two anchors on the thing that I found during a dive and it will still float, but the lack of GOOD attachment points to hang guns off of is kind of a pain.
The flag on my Rob Allen float has no issues because it mounts right into the valve stem.
I'm actually thinking about Foaming the America float to keep it upright. all the time. I know it won't pack as small, but I have other floats for that.
