Description
The Kraken FA04 80×260mm Carbon Fiber Float Arm is a lightweight, buoyant arm designed to improve the balance and handling of underwater camera systems. Constructed from premium carbon fiber, this float arm provides positive buoyancy to offset the weight of cameras, housings, strobes, and video lights, reducing diver fatigue and creating a more neutrally buoyant rig.
Measuring 80mm in diameter and 260mm in length, the FA04 is ideal for medium to large underwater camera systems. Its rigid carbon fiber construction offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight, and its standard 1-inch ball mounts make it compatible with most underwater arm systems from Kraken, ULCS, Nauticam, INON, Ikelite, and other leading manufacturers.
