DIY Arm n Tray

i am so super-happy that i receive my ike's housing yesterday and had it tested in the pool today. I understand y for my housing for oly sp350 it comes with the arm n tray. However, i had these exchanged through my dealer for a lens converter for my WA lens. Therefore, has anybody made their own arm n tray for strobes? If so, can u show it to me. I plan to make one myself but i just wanted to gain more ideas from expereince user/maker. thx in advance

I can't help with the tray, but here's where Gates/Nightrider and others get their arms. http://www.modularhose.com/ My buddy has an Inon flash and that's what he used to make his. For under $20.

I made my own tray as shown here.

I have heard that the modularhose is not as strong as the 10bar arm type so it's not strong enough for ikelite's ds125 strobe. Is this true?

Sunkarm, I haven't used those types of arms before, but I have heard also that people have problems with them breaking down and so if you do use them, make sure and run a line down the middle of them to keep all the parts together.

I use the ULCS arms and tray. They are very strong, work great in the water, and I use them to carry my camera by on land. I know it isn't homade, but seems like by the time you spend all the time, effort, and raw materials to build something, you may not be too far off the cost of something like what I use.
