Flex Arms and Accessories
Attached is a guideline for users who are looking to buy flex arm for an underwater strobe, focus light, or video light setup. Flex arms are less complex and more affordable compared to the ball joint setup. All you need is:
- Light Handle Adapter - The handle adapter is what Nocturnal Lights uses to connect the light to the flex arm. It's an up-side-down "U" adapter that has a knob that goes through the top of the flex arm and locks it down.
- Flex Arm - Available in different lengths.
- Tray or Housing Adapter - The flex arms that we have works with most "T" grooves in the market. Some Amphibico and Sea and Sea use the same groove so you can slide the flex arms right over them. If you don't have any of these grooves on your existing housing then you would need to get one and attach it to your housing, it's what holds the arms on the housing or the handle.
Housing Adapters
Some housings already have the "T" groove where you can slide adapters over while other housings have the grooves included on their handle. There are three holes on the "T" groove/ housing adapter where you can put in different thread sizes. If you plan to use this for your housing please check to make sure that the adapters will attach properly on your housing. We have the "T" groove adapter for both ikelite handles and quick release handles while all of the other adapters are universal.
Trays
Trays are available for compact camera and video housings so you can mount the flex arm on either side or both sides of the tray for your strobe, focus light, or video light setup.
Combo PackagesWhen buying your focus light or video light system all you have to do is:
- Select the light setup
