Main features
■ Great buoyancy ■
The Float Arm uses weather-resistant ABS material for its component arm body to lighten total weight creating extraordinary buoyancy together with its hollow arm body design comparing to existing solid arm type float system. The hollow arm body enables not only helping weight trimming but also provide extra buoyancy.
■ Wide variety of Float Arm ■
Float Arm system has total 5 different model; 「Float Arm」 series of standard φ52mm/2inch with three different length and 「Mega Float Arm」series of φ97mm/3.8inch with two different length. New INON Float Arm system including existing 「Arm Float S」 provides perfect solution to benefit you with desired underwater weight of your camera system depending on personal preference, shooting style, conditions.
■ Rigid and stable gripping ■
The Float Arm is fully compatible with existing INON Arm II system with its high-precision machined aluminum alloy ball joint providing stable clamping together with its O-ring on the ball joint and stress-free handling. Your INON Arm II system is fully compatible with new Float Arm and you can add INON lens holder on the Float Arm.
