Ultralight DB-05 Short Double Ball Arm - 5"

Ultralight Control Systems DB-05 Short Double Ball Arm - 5" is a short arm that looks like the shape of a dumbell. It is often used for macro photography with your DSLR camera. It can also be used to mount on-board accessories with a compatible mount or adapter.

The Ultralight Arm features a 1" (25mm) ball joint on each end of the arm. This joint links with optional base adapters, and clamps. Ultralight Arms were re-engineered to incorporate the maximum clamping action possible. The inclusion of an o-ring in each ball increases the friction forces at the joint to keep the arm positioned where you place them.

This arm segment includes an o-ring in the balls of the arms. This provides a linear clamping force, allowing you to control the arm or the movement of your strobe easily. Without an o-ring in place, this ball joint tends to bind when tightened, due to the metal on metal contact.

Ultralight Arms are part of the Ultralight Control System, which is designed as a three-clamp system to function like a human arm might do. A joint at three positions delivers maximum flexibility. Variations using your two clamps are possible for digital video production. This system allows for support of your basic point-and-shoot camera up to advanced DSLR cameras.

Ultralight Arms are compatible with most of your video camera housings and on-board lights for underwater use.

Check out the two detailed photos of the product in use. One shows an underwater rig in use.

It is configured with optional arms, adapters, and clamps. The other photo shows the various Ultralight parts of a three segment support arm for your reference.
