HELIUM Variable Buoyancy Arm System
Innovative design HELIUM VBA (Variable Buoyancy Arm) System from ULTRAMAX allows you to create your BuoyFloat Arm’s lifting force from 0.5 lb (227g)~1.0 lb (453 g) using modular segments design to fit your underwater photographing and lighting equipment configurations.
The 12” VBA Kit (UXBF-3) includes 4 segments in one package offering 0.5 ~ 1.0 lb lifting force. Simply use the threaded Male & Female sections for basic 0.5 lb buoyancy, each additional Extension section provides extra 0.25 lb buoyancy. NO MORE separate purchases of different buoyancy arms. Segments can be disassembled to save space for travel packing and your VBA system can be set up in minute before dive.
Precisely CNC machined from solid aerospace grade Aluminum alloy with hard anodized finishing in attractive colors against corrosion and normal wear and tear. Standard ø1” / (2.54 cm) ball mount on both ends are machined from solid aluminum blocks provide maximum strength. Dual O-Ring seals on each segment offers maximum leakage proof and depth rated to 500 Ft (150m).
