Aquatica D200 - Manual (Page 12)

MOUNTING AND ATTACHING FLASHES
Depending on which strobe system you are using, you can mount the necessary shoes or brackets or Base Ball onto the
threaded holes on the top of the hand grips. Use of the Aquatica TLC Strobe Arm System is recommended.
There are also two 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the bottom of the housing that can be used for various mounting applica-
tions. For example, Aquatica TLC makes a strobe arm mounting tray that will fit on the bottom of the housing. A 1/4"-20
threaded hole on top of the front half of the housing will accept an Aquatica bracket or Base Ball that can hold a small
dive light or a strobe arm.
The AQUATICA Pro Digital housing can be fitted with a standard single or double bulkhead connector for strobes
• When using the Standard Nikonos sync cord be sure to lubricate the O-ring on the sync cord's connector with
a light coat of O-ring grease. Also put a light coat of O-ring grease on the threads of this connector.
