Aquatica Digital AD300 - Taking a Picture

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
applications. For example, Aquatica TLC makes a strobe arm mounting tray that will t on the bottom of the hous-
ing. A 1/4”-20 threaded hole on top of the housing will accept an Aquatica bracket or Base Ball that can hold a
small dive light or a strobe arm.
The AQUATICA Digital housing is tted with a standard Nikonos Type double bulkhead connector for strobes.
The secondary Bulkhead connector is disconnectable and a remote control cord (product #19300) attached to it,
allowing the housing to be used for remote photography
• 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.
