1" Diameter Ball Mount
The Ikelite SA-100 connects a 1" diameter ball to a universal shoe, creating an adjustable joint for lights, arms or other accessories. It suits photographers who need a compact, repositionable mounting point on camera rigs or housings.
Upgrading from fixed brackets
A fixed cold-shoe or rigid bracket locks accessories in one orientation; the ball joint adds tilt and swivel so you can aim a strobe or video light without tools. The jump is worth it when you regularly reposition gear between shots or need to clear obstructions on a crowded rig.
Capacity and headroom
The 1" ball supports typical compact strobes, focus lights and small monitors used in underwater and studio work. Heavier heads or long lever arms will exceed the joint's holding torque, so large studio lights or heavy camera bodies need a larger-diameter ball system.

How do I attach the SA-100 to my camera or housing?
