5.0 out of 5 stars you need to get the screw from sealife, July 5, 2010

You need to purchase a screw from Sealife to secure this weight on the flash base under the camera:
[...]

By default your camera will have the 0.625" attachment knob that screws the camera to the flash base. To secure the buoyancy control weight, you'll need the longer 1" knob. If you want to add a second flash along with the weight, you'll need the longer 1.375" knob.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product, missing screw, March 8, 2007

The product arrived quickly and in perfect conditions. The disadvantage is the package does not include the screw to attach the weight to the camera. So, it's still sitting unused since I cannot find where to buy this special screw! I cannot get it online for some reason! Wouldn't be easier to charge 2 more bucks and add the screw to the package??

This Buoyancy Control Weight is very handy to keep your camera, strobe and/or video light buoyant while diving. Although a bit pricey, it does the job perfectly. If you only purchase the weight, you will not receive the screw, which can be purchased from Sealife separately. If you have the SeaLife DC1200 MAXX Duo Camera Set, SeaLife DC1200 MAXX 12MP Digital Underwater Camera & Dual Strobe Packa or Sealife Dc1200 Elite Underwater Camera, they come with the screw already. In fact you will need the longer screw with a strobe and video light, but that usually is included in the kits.
