Ever try to pack a concrete block? :-) I need something that will drop

Hmmmm. You might get better luggage/volumetric efficiency with a
brick or a lead fishing sinker. You need some weight on the bottom
however to get it to stay put. Another possibility is to use a small
danforth type, set it firmly, and then shorten the scope to vertical
attached to a small float like a seat cushion.
