Purchased two sets of the FAXS product as I needed some additional buoyancy for my camera rig after adding an additional strobe and wide angle lens. Already had Styx brand floats so thought I would get these to compare against.Overall they both do the same job of adding positive buoyancy and the FAXS does so at a better price point. The differences really is in the construction. The FAXS are a bit harder to get onto the arms and you are 100% certain they are not going to move because of how much force is needed to put the plug back in. The are also cylindrical with the plug centered. At first I didn't think this would matter but the offset center on the Styx square floats gives some additional movement when pulling the arms in tight. Are these differences a deal breaker? No. If you are cost-conscious or would rather spend your dollars on some other part of your gear these will do what you need.

I needed a float to offset the weight of my dive camera and light, a sealife micro 3.0 and a single sea dragon light. Without the float it was a bit heavy to hold with one hand. One float tied by the light did the trick

I was a little skeptical that sliding the half cylinder of foam into the float would clamp it tight on the arm. It is a very tight fit on my Ultralight arms (and takes a strong thumb to jam the half cylinder in). No problems any time after doing giant strides while holding the camera. Very non-compressive, and I was able to add the floats in a way that left my rig slightly negative from 0-100ft, allowing me to shoot one-handed when needed or make very small position/angle changes when shooting macro.
