How to attach an ultralight focus light on the top of Aquatica

7 posts
  1. Hi folks,

    I am an Aquantica+utralight user, so I have a focus light support from Ultralight and I am trying to attach this part on the top of my 5dmk2 housing through a ball head using the hole on the top of my housing, but I didn't see any ULCS part that fit this hole.

     

    does anyone knows what is the part number of this ball head ?

     

    Here is attached a picture about the hole on the top.

    Thanks

  2. I "IMAGINE" that the hole is the standard 1/4" 20TPI standard tri-pod mount hole.

     

    this should work AD-1420-2 For Sartek video lights, Gates housings

     

    or

     

    this BA-HB - Ball with hole down center for 1/4-20 bolts or 6mm bolts

     

    found here

    you could contact them

  3. Yes it is a 1/4''-20 hole, same thread as a standard tripod, all accessories holes on Aquatica are the same 1/4''-20 holes dimensions

  4. Great folks !!!!

     

    Thank you!!

  5. This is the one that worked from me, from Reef Photo: ULCS AD-1420

  6. And for future reference, one of the nice things about Ultralight is that you don't actually need to know what part goes with what - if you call them, Terry and Dave know EXACTLY what goes with what, and can tell you right off the top of their heads!

  7. i have a ball the ball shown that screws in to this hole, but it probably needs loc-tite to keep it from coming loose

     

    i've ended up using the 4th Generation double balls on the handles to get enough mounts instead
