Getting Started - Video Housings

TR-LB

"L" bracket for compact Ikelite video housings
comes with two 12/24 screws for Ikelite

Will accept only  the TR-DHB handle

Canon, Epoque, and Patima are making housings for consumer video cameras.  Our tray the TR-V is designed for these.

In each of the three pictures the tray has been upgraded to make it a double tray (for two lights).  That part is the TR-DUPL.  The handle on
the left is the AC-H, the ball on the TR-DUP is the AD-3816-2.  You can put a handle on the right if you like, it is all personal preference.
The second two pictures also have the AD-HS, hot shoe adapter on the top of the housings if you desire your light to come
off the top or if you want three lights.

Light and motion housings with base adapters

If you have been using the Light and Motion flex arms and would like to convert to Ultralight arms, remove the bottom piece of the
loc line material and screw in our BA-LMB, now you have a ball on the top of L&M quickie release piece
and you can build your arm to your video light from BA-LMB base

  
L&M Quickie Release assembly on the left with Ultralight's BA-LMB ball on the right. 

If you want the quickie release assembly it
must be ordered separately from Light and Motion or we can
try to order it for you.

BA-TG on "T" plates on Amphibico housing

Amphibicio Housings Most of the Amphibicio housings have a “T” plate attached to the middle of the housing or on each handle. The base adapter that fits on this “T” plate is the BA-TG.  If this plate is missing you can add it (BA-TP) or use a BA-AQW instead.  Some of the housings have the T-Plate built into the housing, see below. The Amphibicio Explorer MVI housing for the Canon Optura Camcorder has a “cold shoe” on the top. Our AD-HS, adapter will fit into this cold shoe. Another way to mount your lights to this housing is to use a tray TR-SBLD, and add one or two handles at the ends to have a base for starting your arm.

    For Amphibico housings that have a built in t-plate use BA-TG and slide from front to back. 
You can alternetly use the hot shoe adapter; in the middle slot; but it is not
recommended.

Equinox Housings

For equinox housing, you would take the knob off the top of the "wing", screw our BA-FBD plate onto the bolt
sticking up, then screw back on the knob.
Add a ball on the end of the plate and you have the base for Ultralight arms

Ikelite Video Housings The Ikelite housings come with two handles that have a knob on the top that is easily removed. Our AD-3816 base adapter will fit on the bolt that is sticking up. Other Video Housings Please check with your dealer or with us to figure out a base adapter that will work. Next: Arms & Clamps
