Float arm 50 x 250 mm (buoyancy 240 g) carbon fibre/aluminium

The Nauticam Carbon Fiber Float Arms series are manufactured from a high quality carbon fiber tubing with 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. This robust design is why we are able to guarantee these arms' watertightness for life! 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 useful option, foam does have its drawbacks. Typical "incompressible" foam blocks begin to noticeably compress at 100' and by 200' have completely lost effectives, and have begun to permanently deform. Foam can also break down over time and make something of a mess. Nauticam Carbon Fiber arms do not measurably compress even at 100 meters/330 feet, and look more streamlined than chunky foam blocks. Carbon fiber doesn't just look cool. It is five times as strong as steel, yet weighs about two-thirds less. Lighter means more net buoyancy for the same volume. In the 60mm diameter class, for example, the Nauticam arm provides 50% more buoyancy than competitors aluminum tubing arms. The 90mm diameter arms are perfect for systems demanding even more lift.

Large buoyancy double ball arm. Diameter 5 cm (2 inches) Length 25.4 cm (10 inches) Buoyancy 227 g Made from CNC-machined 6061 aluminium and then anodised in a black seawater-resistant finish. The original ULCS buoyancy double ball arm segments were developed for users of heavy cameras and housings. They are made of aluminium tube, the ball heads are pressed and glued in. Air trapped inside enables them to be buoyant.

The Nauticam Carbon Fiber Aluminum Buoyancy Arm Series is made from a high quality carbon fiber tube with molded plastic end caps and machined aluminum balls. Each arm includes an aluminum backer that connects the entire assembly together, making the arm stronger than one made from solid aluminum alone. This sturdy construction allows these arms to be waterproof for a long time! Nauticam Carbon Fiber Buoyancy Arm System One approach that some underwater photographers have taken to reduce downforce is to use buoyancy arms made of a special type of foam that compresses less than conventional foam. While this can be a useful option, foam has its drawbacks. Typical "incompressible" foam bladders begin to compress noticeably at 30 m diving depth and by 60 m have lost völl effectiveness and begin to deform permanently. Foam can also degrade over time. Nauticam carbon fiber arms do not compress measurably, even at 100 meters, and appear more streamlined than chunky foam bladders.  Carbon fiber doesn't just look cool, though. It is five times as strong as steel, yet weighs about two-thirds less. Lighter means more net lift for the same volume. In the 60 mm diameter class, for example, the Nauticam arm offers 50% more buoyancy than other competing aluminum tube arms. The 90 mm diameter arms are perfect for systems that require even more buoyancy. The Nauticam system of arms, clamps, trays and other mounting hardware offers a variety of lighting arrangement options. The additional carbon fiber arms allow the underwater shooter even more flexibility in dialing in the rig he or she wants.

Carbonarm's carbon fibre lightning arms (100% Made in Italy) offer exceptional resistance to abrasion and salt and a very low weight. The high quality carbon fibre tubes that Carbonarm choose for the arms are very high, as you can see from the precision of the weave. The ball heads are made of anticordal aluminium, anodised to 40 µm and have an O-ring to facilitate the grip with the clamps. The connector balls are glued to the carbon tubing with a special adhesive to ensure a seal up to 150 metres deep.
