Pros & Cons
👍 Pros

👎 Cons
- This product is specifically designed for Canon WP-DC waterproof cases, limiting its compatibility with other brands or models of camera housings
- The total weight provided by the four plates is 240 grams (approximately 8.4 ounces), which may not be sufficient for all buoyancy needs
- The included components are primarily focused on adding weight, and do not offer additional protection or functionality for the camera case
- Buoyancy can be affected by water salinity and temperature, so achieving perfect neutral buoyancy may still require some trial and error
- The inclusion of plastic pins for securing plates, while functional, may not offer the same long-term durability as metal fasteners
