WHY BUY QUALITY ARMS

by Massimo Boyer

WHY BUY QUALITY ARMS

A question I am often asked is this: the housing is already expensive, but why spend so much on ash/ lights arms?
After all, it's just a support, and in fact many underwater photographers start with DIY arms, certainly cheaper but much less versatile and robust.
Light is all we need to control it, it is a fundamental element for all our photos, and equipment that does not take it into account is born incomplete.




Or at least it will force the owner to waste considerable time. Photographers are well aware of the importance of arms that remain stationary, that don't change position as we advance in the water, which avoid rotating and end up illuminating only the suspension. They are the key, the difference between having the equipment ready for a test shot and having to fiddle around every time to put the flashes in the right position and realizing that the magical moment has escaped forever. Fish don't wait.
After so many years of experience and experiments with many types of arms, Carbonarm finally opted for arms that had balls with an international diameter of 25. In other words, any accessory can be connected to the use of these balls .




The balls and clips in aluminum are quality products, virtually eternal, and compared to the many solutions in plastic material that are 100 at lower prices on the market, they have the advantage of ensuring a clear and constant closure over time. The drawback with the plastic pieces is that both the clips and the balls deform over time, or even break, and in any case they do not lock the arms effectively. Efficiency that in the Carbonarm clips is increased thanks to the clutch that perfectly locks the balls of the arms.




The aluminum arms are already light but for those who want to arm themselves floated reading Carbonarm has produced a series of carbon arms, which have not even a positive boost in the water and are very light in the bag by plane. They have different volumes according to the positive thrust that is de sidera. Entirely made in Italy and without internal plastic parts, they are products of the highest quality. The Carbonarm catalog is completed with a whole series of accessories to add an action cam to your photo/video system, or to connect the action cam to the illuminator.

Finally the icing on the cake: with the quick release ball attachment with a small button is mounted on the housing, which allows you to quickly release all the equipment made up of ash arms from the housing . fl I admit it, my housing was immediately equipped with two quick release balls and my life changed for the better, with a simple trick that greatly reduces the time I spend assembling the arms. Click, done. And if I have to remove a flash from the camera underwater, perhaps to give it to the assistant who helps me with the snoot: click, done.
