Ikelite Housings

BA-IK

Some Ikelite housings come with a tray and handle or two handles with a push button release.
Our BA-IK pictured above will fit in that handle. Taller version of the BA-IK, allows you to mount Ikelite's Manual Controller # 4100.6 Manual Controller which can be utilized to provide 10 power settings in half-stop increments or Ikelite's older TTL slave sensor.

For the new Ikelite DSLR housing, use AD-1420-IK as the ball for the threaded hole in the middle of the housing, this will allow you to add a spotting light.

Sea & Sea, Nexus, Aquatica, Nauticam Housings

All these housings have built in handles with screw holes in the top of them for attaching Ultralight base adapters.

Sea & Sea handles may come with a “T” plate already attached to the top of the handle. You can slide a BA-TG over this “T” plate. If your handles do not have a “T” plate or you do not want to use it, there are 3 ways to mount base adapters to the handles. Please specifiy the housing you are using so you will get the correct bolts for it. Some are US and some are metric. We know which is which so just tell us the name of the housing.

BA-DB BA-AQ
BA-AQN BA-AQW

BA-DB- A dovetail plate
BA-AQW - Fixed ball screws directly onto the handle
BA-DB - a dovetail shoe into which you would slide a BA-DT (straight dovetail)
BA-DB - a dovetail shoe into which you would slide a BA-AD (angled dovetail)

The BA-TP will then require a BA-TG to go over it. The BA-DB will require a BA-AD or a BA-DT to slide into it. It is important to inform your dealer what you are putting the piece you select onto so they can supply the appropriate thread size bolt or screw for the base adapter. Some are metric, others are US threads.

Subal Housings We make a tray that will fit the bottom of your Subal housing - TR-SBLD. You can then add one or two handles, quick disconnect handles or base adapter AD-3816 to one or both sides of this tray. You can mount your strobes on top of the housing using a number of base adapters specifically designed for Subal.		Base adapters for Subal housings (left to right)
BA-SU - Subal dovetail that would then take a BA-DT, straight dove tail, or a BA-AD, angled dovetail. BA-SUD - Double subal dovetail. There is room for two base adapters in this dovetail, BA-DT or BA-AD. This would give you a base for an arm and a base for a spotting light, or an Ikelite flash meter, or a base for two strobe arms on one side. BA-SV - Ball adapter that mounts directly to the top of the housing BA-SA - Angled ball adapter that mounts directly to the top of the housing BA-SP - Replacement plate for center of Subal housings, the newer housings will not need to replace this plate as the threads are now into the housing Our AD-6mm ball then screws into the plate to give you a ball to attach a spotting light to..
