Getting Started - Video Housings

TR-LB

"L" bracket for compact Ikelite video housings
comes with two 12/24 screws for Ikelite

Will accept only  the TR-DHB handle

AD-IKV adapter for the Ikelite Pro Video light

Remove the two small screws from the plate holding the plastic adapter that comes with it, remove
the adaper and replace with this one, replace the plate and the two screws.

Canon, Epoque, and Patima are making housings for consumer video cameras.  Our new tray the TR-V is designed for these.

In each of the three pictures the tray has been upgraded to make it a double tray (for two lights).  That part is the TR-DUPL.  The handle on
the left is the AC-H, the ball on the TR-DUP is the AD-3816-2.  You can put a handle on the right if you like, it is all personal preference.
The second two pictures also have the AD-HS, hot shoe adapter on the top of the housings if you desire your light to come
off the top or if you want three lights.

loc line material and screw in our BA-LMB, now you have a ball on the top of L&M quickie release piece
and you can build your arm to your video light from BA-LMB base

BA-TG on "T" plates on Amphibico housing

Amphibicio Housings Most of the Amphibicio housings have a “T” plate attached to the middle of the housing or on each handle. The base adapter that fits on this “T” plate is the BA-TG.  If this plate is missing you can add it (BA-TP) or use a BA-AQW instead.  Some of the housings have the T-Plate built into the housing, see below. The Amphibicio Explorer MVI housing for the Canon Optura Camcorder has a “cold shoe” on the top. Our AD-HS, adapter will fit into this cold shoe. Another way to mount your lights to this housing is to use a tray TR-SBLD, and add one or two handles at the ends to have a base for starting your arm.

    For Amphibico housings that have a built in t-plate use BA-TG and slide from front to back. 
You can alternetly use the hot shoe adapter; in the middle slot; but it is not
recommended.

Ikelite Video Housings The Ikelite housings come with two handles that have a knob on the top that is easily removed. Our AD-3816 base adapter will fit on the bolt that is sticking up. Other Video Housings Please check with your dealer or with us to figure out a base adapter that will work. Next: Arms & Clamps
