Ikelite Housings

You will need to keep the Ikelite tray that comes with your housing. If your tray does not have handles, then our handles can be easily used:

  • AC-H regular handle with ball, or AC-HQD quick disconnect handle with ball
  • Also, the AD-3816 base ball can be used in place of a handle

If your Ikelite tray has handles on it, you will need to remove the knob on the top of the handles. You will find a bolt sticking up. You would then mount our
AD-3816 to that bolt as your base adapter.

If your Ikelite tray has the new SLR handles with a push button, our BA-IK will snap into that handle.

Sea & Sea, Nexus, Aquatica Housings

All these housings have built in handles with screw holes in the top of them for attaching Ultralight base adapters.

Sea & Sea handles may come with a "T" plate already attached to the top of the handle. You can slide a BA-TG over this "T" plate. If your handles do not have a "T" plate or you do not want to use it, there are 3 ways to mount base adapters to the handles:

  • BA-AQW - Fixed ball screws directly onto the handle
  • BA-DB a dovetail shoe into which you would then slide a
    BA-DT (straight dovetail) or
  • BA-DB a dovetail shoe into which you would then slide a
    BA-AD (angled dovetail)

Nexus and Aquavision handles do not come with a base plate attached to it, so you can pick from the following three choices:
  • BA-AQW - Fixed ball screws directly onto the handle
  • BA-DB - a dovetail shoe into which you would slide a BA-DT (straight dovetail)
  • BA-DB - a dovetail shoe into which you would slide a BA-AD (angled dovetail)

***For all base adapters, it is important to let your dealer know what you will be attaching it to so they can send the appropriate screws with it. Aquavision uses a US thread size (1/4-20) and Nexus and Sea & Sea use a metric screw (5mm).


Subal Housings

We make a tray that will fit the bottom of your Subal housing - TR-SBLD. You can then add one or two handles, quick disconnect handles or base adapter AD-3816 to one or both sides of this tray.

You can mount your strobes on top of the housing using a number of base adapters specifically designed for Subal.

 
Base adapters for Subal housings (left to right)
  • BA-SU - Subal dovetail that would then take a BA-DT, straight dove tail, or a BA-AD, angled dovetail.
  • BA-SUD - Double subal dovetail. There is room for two base adapters in this dovetail, BA-DT or BA-AD. This would give you a base for an arm and a base for a spotting light, or an Ikelite flash meter, or a base for two strobe arms on one side.
  • BA-SV - Ball adapter that mounts directly to the top of the housing
  • BA-SA - Angled ball adapter that mounts directly to the top of the housing

    Subal Pivots

    Pivots fit the 8008, N90, F4, Canon Elan housings only. These housings do not have handles like the newer housings, F5 or N100. The Subal pivots will not fit the later housings with handles.

Sea Cam Housings

The top of the housing comes with two plastic plates. You will need to remove these and replace with any of the following combinations of base adapters:

  • BA-AQW - Fixed ball screws directly onto the top of the housing
  • BA-DB a dovetail shoe into which you would then slide a BA-DT (straight dovetail)
  • BA-DB a dovetail shoe into which you would then slide a BA-AD (straight dovetail)

    Inon Housings (X1NZ) for Canon Rebel camera
We make a pivot for this housing. See Nikonos pivots for explanation of base adapters to pivots.
  • BA-IN base adapter attaches to the top of the Inon housing
