Light and Motion Tetra Housing

The Tetra housing made by Light and Motion for the Olympus C-4040,C-3030, C-300, C-2020 or Nikon Coolpix 5000 zoom digital camera will accept Ultralight arms and trays.

The housing comes with two dovetail plates attached to it or two plates that you attach to it.

(Tetra dovetail plate on left has been removed)

You have a number of options for adding strobes to the Tetra housing:

    1. Add a BA-DT dovetail for your base adapters to the Tetra dovetails and then build your arm set from there.

    2. Remove the dovetail on the left side of the housing and put one of our single trays with a handle on it. TR-NKS with a AC-H. Build your arm set on top of the handle. This gives you a nice grip to hold onto in addition to the right sided strap that goes over the back of your hand.
    There is a threaded hole on the top above the lens port that you can use for a spotting light. The adapter needed is the AD-1032. Then you can add a clamp and then a spotting light adapter.
