I first started doing hang snatches and catching it in a full squat. I had trouble getting under the bar so I tried snatch balances as you suggested. When I would drop to the bottom of the squat, the barbell comes forward causing me to lose my balance. I will record myself doing snatch balances tomorrow and post them.
As I was typing this, I did a youtube search for "snatch balance." I thought it involved dropping to the bottom of the squat from a typical starting position for a squat. It looks like before you do drop, you do a dip drive first to get the weight overhead. Maybe this was a problem.
