Arm setup for compact camera with single WA strobe?

I intend to use a single strobe with a compact digicam. (I've narrowed down my strobe choice to the YS-110a or the Inon Z240, I think.) But I have absolutely no idea where to start on choosing a tray/arm and haven't spotted a thread for "single strobe with room to grow" setups.

This is what I am hoping to accomplish:

- Macro most of the time

- Extend an arm for WA (even if it isn't going to be great with 1 strobe and a compromise arm)

- Allow for addition of another strobe someday

- Allow me to change make of camera without concern so long as it's not to a giant DSLR

- Keep things as compact as possible while meeting the above.

This expandable tray looks like the right kind of thing: http://www.ulcs.com/gsdigital.html

But I am still pretty lost on what I need for the arm. What kind of arm segments would be good for my needs?

Thanks for any advice.

I used the ULCS tray shown first up on your link and liked it a lot. I tried the quick disconnect handle and the bolted handle. I liked the bolted one better. The quick disconnect handle has some play in it so you can move the strobe a bit without meaning to move it. I used 2 strobe with the extension and liked it.

There are many threads here on what arm length to use. I used a 5 and an 8" arms together and liked them. I tried using only one 8" arm on some dives and this works but I liked having 2 arms more. It would seem more difficult/complicated with 2 arms but it was actually easier when diving...I thought. Macro lighting was more difficult with one arm. I never needed longer arms with the P/S camera but I was not doing wide angle work.

Any combination with a base and arms can be expanded and the UCLS brand certainly has many options.

I would expect you to be happy with your 110a or Z240 selections. They should be able to expand with your needs.

If you want to change arms later, there is likely someone here that would buy your old arms at a fair price so you get back part of your money... so you do not have to stress too badly on it.

Thanks for the reply!
