I've mounted my gopro on an arm that protrudes from the side of my gun by about 15cm (6inches). The negative buoyancy of the camera and the lever effect of the arm causes the gun to want to roll on to its side. This isn't a massive problem but I feel like I'm always fighting it.

I'm wonder if anyone has had a similar problem and done anything to re-balance the gun, if so what? I have the extended battery pack on the camera so don't think I have the option of fitting the OEM floaty back door.

Cheers

Paul
