Help with figuring out gear problem!

3 posts
  1. Howdy all! I'm trying to figure out how to connect my strobe to my camera. You'd think this would be simple but it's driving me nuts, and I need to get it sorted out right away (leaving for Saba in less than a week).

     

    My camera is an old Canon AS570IS, and I have an ikelite housing for it. I know it's a beginner camera, but hey, I'm a beginner ;)

     

    I was given a Sea and Sea YS-90DX strobe, and I'm trying to connect it.

     

    I know I need the Ikelite single tray and handle, and a ball stem. But then I can't find anyone to tell me what I need to connect the handle to the strobe. Ikelite said they don't make the part, and Sea and Sea told me to talk to Ikelite.

     

    The strobe has a 1" ball on it.

     

    Does anyone know what I need (and who i can order it from) to make this work?

     

    Thanks!!

  2. I would give Reef photo a call and see what they have to say. Matching parts from different suppliers is something they do often.

  3. The Ultralight part is BA-IK for the ball adapter. Then you need a total of 2 clamps and one arm section. Or 3 clamps and 2 arm sections.
