Dinghy cruising: Floaty camera platform problems

so how do I prevent it from tipping over? Can it be given some form of ballast below? Maybe a bucket attached to a lanyard...bit heavy? Or I have some scrap lead flashing, but no idea how to safely attach it! Another alternative...a small anchor and rode? That would keep it in the one position and stop it drifting with wind and current........wish I was an engineer or had my Dad's engineering expertise.........still plenty to muse on......

  1. Brick or some other weight slung underneath the platform - supported centrally, perhaps a metre or so below for lateral stability?
