SEAFROGS ALUMINIUM ARMS

Seafrogs Aluminium Arms for Budget-Friendly Underwater Lighting Rigs

Seafrogs aluminium arms are a simple, lightweight, and affordable solution for building out your underwater lighting setup. Built from anodized aluminium to handle saltwater use, they offer a reliable connection between your underwater strobes or video lights and your housing. For divers using Seafrogs housings—or anyone starting out in underwater photography—they’re a solid, low-cost option that gets the basics right.

Features and compatibility

These arms use 1-inch ball mounts, the most common standard for underwater gear, which means they’re compatible with most clamps and connectors across different brands. They’re not designed for high-end setups or heavy-duty lights, but they work well in low-current conditions and are ideal for travel rigs where size and weight matter.

Available lengths and use cases

You’ll find different lengths in this category—from compact short arms to longer wide-angle setups—as well as double-ball extensions and YS-adapters. Use a short arm for compact macro rigs or tight environments, and a longer one if you want to push your light source out to minimize backscatter or create more even coverage on wide shots.

When they’re a good fit—and when to consider other options

For casual divers or those using compact lights, Seafrogs arms offer a functional entry point. But if you’re using larger lighting systems or shooting in strong current, you might need something more rugged like Nauticam arms or INON arms, both of which offer stiffer locking and more durability for demanding conditions.

Simple setups that works

These aluminium arms don’t try to be high-end—they focus on doing the basics well. If you're building a budget rig, packing light, or just experimenting with off-camera lighting, they’re a smart way to get started without spending too much. They also make a great backup or travel-friendly solution, even for experienced shooters.
