strobe arm adaptor for different brands?

4 posts
  1. strobe arm adaptor for different brands?

    Does anyone know if anyone (even third party) makes an adaptor that will allow a Sea & Sea strobe to mount on an Ikelite (1" diameter ball) arm?

     

    I have access to an Ikelite arm and tray at very good cost, but would like to use a Sea & Sea YS-90 DX Auto strobe I already own (which uses an "arm fixing bolt" that screws through aligned holes in the Sea & Sea strobe & arm). Ikelite is telling my to check with Sea & Sea, and of course Sea & Sea is telling me to check with Ikelite. I no longer have my original Sea & Sea arm since selling my Motormarine II.

     

    Any input would be appreciated!

    Thanks Scorpion fish - I appreciate the link.

     

    It looks like Ultralight sells the adaptor I need for $22.50. They do some smart product marketing, rather than saying system to system compatibility issues prevent Ultralight from supporting other brands, they make adaptors for most popular systems and their own arms - it probably gets them a lot of business. Ikelite and Sea & Sea could learn a lesson from Ultralight!

     

    Here is a trick someone showed me for capturing URL links in frames - if you are on a PC, right click in the frame you want to capture, and click "select shortcut." Internet Explorer will put a shortcut to the linked page on your desktop. Double click on that, and it will open to the full URL for your page, you can copy and paste that into a message, e-mail, etc.
