Overview / Product Description
Nauticam 50x300mm Carbon Fiber Aluminum Float Arm
The Nauticam Carbon Fiber Float Arms series is crafted from high-quality carbon fiber tubing, featuring molded plastic end caps and machined aluminum balls. O-Ring seals ensure water-tight integrity, and each arm includes an aluminum spine that ties the entire assembly together, making the arm stronger than one machined from solid aluminum alone.
Nauticam Carbon Fiber Float Arm System
One approach that some underwater photographers have taken to lighten the load underwater is through the use of floats made of a special type of foam that compresses less than conventional foam. While this can be a helpful option, foam does have its drawbacks. Typical "incompressible" foam blocks begin to compress at 100' noticeably and by 200' have completely lost effectiveness, and have started to deform permanently. Foam can also break down over time and create a mess. Nauticam Carbon Fiber arms do not measurably compress, even at 100 meters (330 feet), and appear more streamlined than chunky foam blocks.
Carbon fiber doesn't just look cool; it also offers numerous benefits. It is five times as strong as steel, yet weighs about two-thirds less. Lighter weight means more net buoyancy for the same volume.
The Nauticam system of arms, clamps, trays, and other mounting hardware allows a vast range of possibilities for arranging lighting.
Dialing In Your Buoyancy
With a variety of lengths and widths, the Nauticam carbon fiber float arm system lets you dial in the buoyancy you want. Each arm has a clearly rated net buoyancy (lift), and with the wide selection of attachment options, it's finally possible to get your rig perfectly balanced for your shooting style.
