The articulating Ikelite ball-socket arm secures the DS51 strobe to the contoured
release handle on an Ikelite Digital Still Housing or SLR Housing. The dual ball sockets on
the arm are especially versatile for macro photography since they adjust independently
for a multitude of strobe mounting positions.
The ball-socket arm #4086.61 utilizes 2.5cm (1") diameter balls. Optional
components are available as referenced on the following page to modify the arm.

strobe mount is featured at the top of the ball-socket arm. This mount
slides into the underneath side of the strobe body, and permits the use of the ball clamp
at the base of the strobe.
If another mount is already secured underneath the strobe, loosen the screw and
remove the original mount from the strobe. On the ball-type strobe mount, there is a
screw opening at each end. Select the side that has the screw opening nearest the center,
slide this end into the base of the strobe, and secure with the screw.

The stem protruding at the base of the arm snaps into the release handle on the
Ikelite housing. The stem also provides a convenient location for securing the optional
DS Slave Sensor or EV-Controller.
Insert the stem into the release handle. Depress the handle's release button and
slide the stem fully into the receptor. Release the button and it should spring back to
the original position locking the arm in place.

Loosen the wing nut on the ball clamps to adjust the positioning of the arm. Each
section pivots and rotates 360° before tightening the wing nut.
The center cap limits the movement of the wing nut so that the arm cannot be
accidentally disassembled. Adjust the center cap as desired.
