Jim:
You can weigh the camera (kitchen scale), then use a 20 guage steel wire slab of scrap metal that weighs a little less than the camera weight. Slide lead fishing sinkers through the wire until the weight is slightly over the camera weight. Use this scrap bundle to test floatation device.
There may be an easier way- pea gravel in a bag, etc.

[quote Jim_T]Have you tested it to see how much weight it will actually support? I have one but haven't had the guts to sink my camera yet. I'm assuming if it doesn't fully support my camera it will at least slow it's descent so I can grab it.
