Video arms for Helios 13.5 dual 50 W HID

Stephan · February 14th, 2006, 03:03 PM

Hi,

I'm using an Amphibico "Invader" UW-house and I'm looking for video arms to mount my Helios 13.5 dual 50 W HID to it.

Halcyon is no longer making the video arms so therefore I'm looking - if possible - for an existing solution by another brand.

Anybody who has experience in this kind of puzzle ?

thanx.
Stephan.

Second Brian on that one. I just came back from Florida where we were using using Twin 50W HID's, ULCS arms and carrying 2 13.5 Salvo cannisters. (1 for my primary light, 1 for the video lights) and a Halcyon Housing. The arms never shifted once set in place.

I just spoke to Camerasunderwater in London and they can help me out.

Thanks for the tips!

Halcyon has never made arms, even when we made a housing for the VX2000. We've always spec'ed out Ultralight Control System arms for use with the housings and the Apollo lights, and we still recommend them as the best solution.

Hello Anthony,

Good to hear that ulcs is the way to go.

Do you know by any change the reference number of the ball adapter by ulcs to be mounted on the 50W-reflector ?

Regards,
Stephan.

I don't have the part numbers on hand, but if you send a note to ulcs they should be able to reference the standard parts for arms for the Apollo dual-head lights. I was with a friend who was purchasing a set for his Apollo rig at the Fla dive show in December, and the good folks at the ulcs booth could rattle off the parts numbers faster than I could remember my own cell phone number.

Talk to Rob at Cameras Underwater, he will sort you out.

They do the ulcs range of arms and you wont have to pay the duties and VAT with it all being EU.

Sure to work out cheaper.

If you have any problems give me a shout and I'll help out, we do the Salvo light systems for video and work well with the guys at C U and Rob in particular.

Hey Stephan!

You should check http://www.digital-dive.de
They're in Aachen. I bought my arms and housing there. It is possible to pick them up. So it could save you some money.
