SeaLife Flex-Connect 20CMRIG. Ball Arm

Description

A flexible arm gives way once a light gets big or a current picks up. This one does not: fixed-length black anodised aluminium with 1 inch ball joints at each end, chosen when a light must stay exactly where it was set, which is what stills work wants. Moving the light away from the camera is the standard fix for backscatter, since particles beside the lens reflect straight back into it, and an arm that holds its aim keeps that separation frame after frame rather than drifting through the dive. Aluminium rather than polymer is what carries a heavier photo-video light or strobe without flexing. Used with a ball clamp and the two ball joint adapters, one arm builds a 15.5 inch extension and a second adds a further 9.5 inches. Ball clamps are required and sold separately, or the Ball Arm Kit supplies an 8 inch arm, two clamps and both adapters together. It suits a stills photographer lighting off-axis.
