Buoyancy double ball arm segments
Designed for users of heavy cameras and housings. They are constructed of aluminum tubing with the ball ends press fit and glued in. Air trapped inside allows them to be buoyant

DB-B12 - long arm, used for wide angle photography
DB-B16 - very long arm, used for super wide angle photography

Single ball arm segments
Allows you to use one less clamp in the arm set; but reduces flexibility at the strobe head or base

SBDT-5 - Single ball 5” arm with a dovetail at the base. Will fit the BA-DB dovetail shoe
SBNK-8 - Single ball 8” arm with a Nikonos SB 102,103,105 strobe adapter at the other end
SBSS-8 - Single ball 8” arm with a Sea and Sea strobe adapter at the other end
SBSS-5 - Single ball 5” arm with a Sea and Sea strobe adapter at the other end

Clamps

These clamps are what holds the system together and gives it flexibility. Think of your own arms with the three joints and that is in essence what you have with your strobe arm.

AC-CSF - This new style clamp is constructed slightly different than the original clamp. This clamp allows 15 degrees side to side movement of the balls
