Loc-Line & DS125

4 posts
  1. How does the 3/4" Loc-Line based arms react to a heavy strobe like the DS125 ?

     

    Do they hold position under water or just slowly flap about ?

  2. I've used 3/4" loc-line arms with the Inon strobes and had no problems with them underwater. They were a little floppy out of the water, but not too hard to deal with. The DS-125 may be ok in the water with little or no current, but I'd guess it would be hard to handle out of the water.

  3. Thanks for the input Herb, I expected them to a bit wobbly out of the water, in the water here we tend to have to contend with a lot of current ( tidal range is 36' ) - I can't remember a dive without current.

     

    I am suspicious that they will gradually move about as I try to frame a pic ! and I have enough trouble without that as it is...

     

     

    Thanks again.

  4. The Line Loc arms on my video lights support the HID heads well in the water - but tend to be pushed back in a strong curren 2-3 knots . This is not to say they flopped arouind just pushed back by the water flow.
