Aiming light for a Aquatica A5D

3 posts
  1. Hi all,

     

    I have a 5D in Aquatica A5D, with TLC strobe arms and a couple of DS-125, and they work great. However when using my 100 macro, focusing is a problem, if there isn´t a lot of natural light it simply doesn´t focus.

    I´ve heard alot about fisheye aiming lights, I checked it up and they are pretty expensive, but every one says they are worth every penny.

    Does anyone know how these light´s can be adapted to a A5D housing?

     

     

    Thank´s, Azorean. B)

    On the top of the housing are two threaded holes. Call ultralight and they will sell you the bits to put a ball on top of the housing. I personally don't think you need the fisheye, I use a Fantasea 44 LED light and it is fine but the Fisheye is also cool as are a whole variety of other aiming lights.

     

    Anyway, ultralight can help, they make nice stuff and are very good to deal with.

    If you want to stay with Aquatica/TLC then the most popular support sold for the Fisheye light (or Fantasea for that matter) is our product 17509
