Studio Light Stand Adapter
The Ikelite 1" Ball Mount Mark II connects an Ikelite DS strobe to most standard light stands for studio photography. It accepts a 1-inch diameter ball with an o-ring that matches the Ikelite ball arm system and common arms from Ultralight, Nauticam, TLC and other makers. Clamp and light mount are sold separately.
Capacity and Headroom
The single 1-inch ball joint supports one strobe or lightweight accessory on a stand, and the Mark II groove plus o-ring increases holding power so less clamping force is needed. Finger-tightening is sufficient for repositioning, but the adapter is not rated for heavy multi-light rigs or large modifiers.
Generation and Compatibility
This Mark II version replaces the original 1-inch ball arm components with lighter, hard coat type III anodized parts that resist scratches. It works with existing Ikelite ball arms and cross-brand systems that use a 1-inch ball, but it will not fit larger 1.5-inch or proprietary mount standards.

Questions about this item
Will the 1-inch ball with o-ring groove on this Mark II adapter fit the Ikelite DS strobe arm I already own?
Yes, the 1-inch ball mount with o-ring is fully compatible with the Ikelite ball arm system and works with most Ultralight, Nauticam and TLC ball arms.
How can I confirm the adapter is holding the strobe securely once mounted on a studio light stand?
Finger-tighten the thumbscrew until the o-ring prevents slippage; the strobe should stay in position without movement yet still allow repositioning when the clamp is loosened slightly.
Does the package include the clamp and light stand mount needed to attach this to a studio stand?
No, the clamp and light mount are sold separately; this box contains only the 1-inch ball mount adapter.
