Quick Answer
The Flex-Connect Dual Tray Kit is a complete modular rig that lets you mount two lights or accessories to nearly any brand of underwater camera. It's ideal if you want a stable, expandable setup without buying separate parts.
What's in the Box and Why It Matters
The kit includes a Flex-Connect Dual Tray, two ergonomic grips, two Flex Arms, and two YS adapters. The tray uses a standard ¼-20 tripod mount, which fits most major underwater camera brands, not just SeaLife. That means you can pair it with your existing camera and lights without worrying about compatibility.
The Flex Arms are adjustable and lock in place, so you can position your lights exactly where you need them. The YS adapters let you connect strobes or video lights that use the common YS mount. If your lights use a different connector, you'll need a separate adapter.
Trade-Offs to Consider
This kit is a great value compared to buying the components separately, but it's not the lightest option on the market. If you travel frequently and need to minimize weight, a single-tray or handheld setup might be more practical.
Also, while the tray fits many cameras, it doesn't include a quick-release plate. If you switch cameras often during a dive, you'll want to add one separately.
Decision Rules: Is the Flex-Connect Dual Tray Kit Right for You?
- You want to add two lights to your rig: This kit gives you a stable dual-tray platform with adjustable arms, so you can balance light placement for even illumination.
- You use a non-SeaLife camera: The standard ¼-20 mount fits most brands, including Canon, Sony, and Olympus housings. Check that your housing has a compatible tripod thread. If your housing lacks a ¼-20 thread, you'll need a mounting adapter.
- Your lights use a YS mount: The included YS adapters let you connect strobes or video lights with a YS connector. For other mounts (e.g., Nikonos or proprietary), you'll need a separate adapter.
- You want an expandable system: The Flex-Connect system lets you add more arms, clamps, or accessories later. Start with this kit and build out as needed.
