Tray/Arm setup for TG5.

[KG Diver]

So, for my first setup I narrowed it down to these two:

Kraken Single Handle

I-das Single Arm

Does anyone have any experience with either? This is going to be my first setup other than a gopro on a stick, so I'm still trying to keep it simple.

Right now I just need one arm to acomodate a single video light; at the same time they seem to be expandable for when I get a strobe. This is for a TG5, Olympus housing, and big blue video light.

Any opinions on these two? Any other suggestions for brands or other items I should be adding to the setup?

~Cheers

I'm using this https://www.amazon.com/Aluminium-Diving-Handle-Underwater-Housings/dp/B00ROWNLL2. Much cheaper, probably stronger, perfectly adequate. My bigger camera has an i-Das on it. Also strong. Since I managed once to bend a handle away from the tray and break the system, I am big on "strong."

This set of Kraken tray, handle and arms will work fine for you. Kraken makes a very nice product, we've upgraded to their arms and clamps from I-DAS as they have better anodizing, construction and ease of adjustability for the same price. There are lots of less expensive packages (and we have some as well), but these items will go from camera to camera, light to strobe, and can be expanded as it is modular.
