Here's where I got my strobe and fisheye tray with arms. I found that the equipment got here faster than if mailed from the states (they're in Japan). An added bonus is they were cheaper than anywhere in the states. I alos liked the arm that came with the tray

In doing the conversion from Yen to Dollars, the ULCS is less expensive to purchase in the states directly from them or from one of their dealers. See www.ulcs.com and go to the dealer page.
They are worth the money because it will be the last arm you need to purchase, others will frustrate you and you will end up with ULCS in my opinion.

I agree with mgtc! The camera/housing will eventually be replaced with newer and more current technology, but the ulcs arms will grow with you. Yes, they are expensive, but why waste money going cheap and then having to buy the ulcs arms later?

Yuzo in Japan is a good source for the strobe.

The loc line arms are also a good choice and you may want to compare them to the UCLS arms. The loc line is less expensive and you can add or subtract sections to your liking.

Have you considered a homemade tray. I made one out of a piece of aluminum that I bent on a vice to the shape I wanted. It holds two lens docks for my wide angle and close-up lenses. You can view it here
