The flotation element balancing device is attached to an object that floats in the surrounding fluid medium, such as a helium balloon inside the air atmosphere, so that the buoyancy of the assembly is zero, that is, it has no tendency neither to lower nor to raise. In the preferred embodiment, two linear balancers, such as threads or tapes of different density, hang from the balloon and weigh more than what the latter floats. After leaving the assembly loose, it stabilizes with a part of said balancers touching the ground. Then both are cut in order in the vicinity of where they touch the ground, leaving the whole with zero buoyancy. In another of the embodiments the balancing is done automatically because the balancer weighs less and less. Once the weight of said balancer equals the floating force of the balloon, the set of both rises from the ground and is balanced. One application of the system is in the field of advertising, where balancing is done with a pamphlet that is calculated directly so that its weight is exactly what is needed to balance the balloon, so that the whole is left with zero buoyancy .
