ULTRALIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS
Ultralight Strobe Arms, Trays and Accessories for Underwater Photography
UltraLight Control Systems makes a very light weight arm system, possibly the lightest on the market. All arms and adapters have an O-ring in the ball. This greatly increases the friction forces at the clamps, so when underwater the clamp tension can be adjusted to allow easy adjustment of the arms for strobe positioning while at the same time holding the strobes in place. Tightening them even further keeps the arms and strobes in place when carrying the assembled camera rig to and from the water.

For two strobe photography, a second Complete Arm Set will be required.

Nexus America also stocks Ultra Light accessories for Nikonos - fixed single and double Nikonos trays and Nikonos pivot trays.

For the Nexus housings we recommend the following Complete UltraLight Arm Set: Nexus Housing with Ultralight Control System Arms
