interchangeablity of strobe mounts

Post by dphershman »

Does anyone know of any means of attaching a Sea and Sea strobe to an Ikelight strobe arm?

I have a Sea and Sea YS90 strobe that I haven't used for awhile (not since my point and shoot camera setup). I'm thinking of upgrading my Ikelight single strobe system on my DSLR to a dual strobe setup. The two mounts are incompatible and both manufacturers claim that its impossible, but perhaps someone before me has dealt with this before. :dontknow:

failing that--- anyone interested in buying a Sea and Sea YS 90 strobe?


thanks!

Gorilla tape works great for anything Duct tape fails at. Hope that helps.

actually after rereading your question, i think ultra light may have something. i think i saw an adapter of some kind at the dive expo last year.

Dan, You might try Fantasea also. I know they have adapters for most popular strobes. Give Jack a call at Optical Ocean Sales. If there is something out there he should know. Also you might look thru the adapters At B & H photo. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/7899 ... pters.html

Hey Dan You can buy one of these adapters http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/4 ... r_for.html

along with

then all you need is a standard ball clamp. Should do the job just fine.
