need arms for my housed D60

3 posts
  1. Tried out my UK-Germany housed D60 in a friend's pool yesterday -- 5-year-olds are quite a good test subject as they seem as unpredictable and frenetic as any sea lion!

     

    Anway, I need to get an arm setup for the thing now -- it has two screw holes on the left side but that's it. I have the 550EX housing, which sports a thick screw sticking out the side of it and that's it. Any recommendations as to what sort of arm system to use?

     

    I also have a small sea & sea strobe (YS-30 I believe) that can act in slave mode, but experiments with it so far have been disappointing so I'm not sure I'm going to use it.

     

    Thanks!

  2. Check out Eric's page for a picture of how he set his up using ultralight arms. I think it's in the scuba/travel section:

  3. Thanks, I did that actually! I contacted ULCS and they've been very helpful. UK-Germany has changed their housing a bit since Eric got his, luckily for me, and it now comes with a handle and a t-mount. ULCS is looking at these now to get the fit right (UK-G uses metric fittings) so I should be set up next week.
