An Ultralight arm generally consists of two arms segments and three clamps giving you the greatest flexibility. Videographers sometimes use just one arm segment and two clamps. They do not need the same amount of flexibility as a still photographer does.
The o-ring in the balls of the arms, base adapters, and strobe adapters eliminates the metal to metal contact. This allows a much more linear clamping force, allowing you to control the arm movement when used with small or large strobes even in varying current conditions.

Example of two arm segments and three clamps |
 |
Double ball arm segments
- DB-03 - very short arm, look like small dumbbells, used for macro photography DB-05 - short arm, used for macro photography DB-08 - medium length arm, used for macro or wide angle photography DB-12 - long arm, used for wide angle photography
- DB-16 - very long arms, used for super wide angle photography

Buoyancy double ball arm segments - were designed for users of heavy cameras and housings. They are constructed of aluminum tubing with the ball ends press fit and glued in. Air trapped inside allows them to be buoyant.
- DB-B08 - medium length use for macro or wide angle photography DB-B12 - long arm, used for wide angle photography
- DB-B16 - very long arm, used for super wide angle photography

Single ball arm segments
(top to bottom) |
Single ball arm segments - allows you to use one less clamp in the arm set; but reduces flexibility at the strobe head or base
- SBDT-5 - Single ball 5" arm with a dovetail at the base. Will fit the BA-DB dovetail shoe SBNK-8 - Single ball 8" arm with a Nikonos SB 102,103,105 strobe adapter at the other end SBSS-8 - Single ball 8" arm with a Sea and Sea strobe adapter at the other end
- SBSS-5 - Single ball 5" arm with a Sea and Sea strobe adapter at the other end
Our most popular arm set consists of a base adapter, two 8" arms segments, three clamps, and a strobe adapter. This arm set is used for both macro and wide angle photography.

Clamps - These clamps are what holds the system together and gives it flexibility. Think of your own arms with the three joints and that is in essence what you have with your strobe arm.
|
AC-CS - Standard clamp is used to attach two arms, base adapters, and strobe adapters together |
AC-CSF - This new style clamp is constructed slightly different than the original clamp. This clamp allows 15 degrees side to side movement of the balls. |
AC-TCS - Triple clamp - replaces a regular clamp in an arm set, allowing use of a flashlight or Ikelite TTL slave (below) or Ikelite flash meter (see accessories). |
