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.

Highlights

Questions about this item

What size ball does the SA-100 use to connect to an arm or clamp?

The SA-100 has a 1" diameter ball that fits standard 1" ball mounts and arms used in underwater and studio rigs.

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

Slide the universal shoe foot into the camera hot shoe or housing shoe until it seats fully, then tighten the locking knob to prevent it from sliding loose.

Which parts of the SA-100 might need replacement after heavy use?

The shoe locking knob and the ball's friction surface can wear over time; both are serviceable by replacing the knob or adding a shim to restore grip.
