Ultralight
Ultralight Control Systems products are made with 6061 aluminum that is machined and then hard anodized, to withstand the harshest treatment. In addition to arms, a full line of trays, pivots, adapters for all strobes, and video applications, along with numerous accessories. The Ultralight arms may look like just another set of adjustable spherical ball arms on the market; but close inspection will prove otherwise. Ultralight arms have been totally re-engineered to incorporate the maximum clamping action possible. The inclusion of an o-ring greatly increases the friction forces at the joint, therefore, keeping the arms where you put them. The o-ring also gets away from the metal to metal contact between the clamp and the ball of the arm. The lightweight pattern not only looks great; but also allows the arms to keep their required rigidity while keeping the weight to an absolute minimum.

Video Housing Set
Light & Motion Housings
The Stingray housing requires that you remove the attached piece of lockline tubing that is on the handle and replace it with our BA-LM base adapters. The Mako and the Bluefin housings require that you remove the piece attached to the handle and replace it with our AD-10/32 base adapter.
If you have been using the Light and Motion flex arms and would like
to convert to Ultralight arms, remove the bottom piece of the loc line material and screw in our BA-LMB, now you have a ball on the top of L&M quickie release piece and you can build your arm to your video light from BA-LMB base.
- All Gates housings take our AD-1420 adapter for the base of our arm system.
- Most of the Amphibico housings have a "T" plate attached to the middle of the housing or on each handle. The base adapter that fits on this "T" plate is the BA-TG. The Amphibico Explorer MVI housing for the Canon Optura Camcorder has a "cold shoe" on the top. Our AD-HS, adapter will fit into this cold shoe. Another way to mount your lights to this housing is to use a tray TR-SBLD, and add one or two handles at the ends to have a base for starting your arm.
- For Amphibico housings that have a built in t-plate use BA-TG and slide from front to back. You can alternetly use the hot shoe adapter; but it is not recommended.
- The Ikelite housings come with two handles that have a knob on the top that is easily removed. Our AD-3816 base adapter will fit on the bolt that is sticking up.
