This is the "How I did it" tutorial on a Loc-Line arm for the Sunpak strobe. Each step will be in a separate post with pictures appropriate for that step. Loc-Line size is 3/4". Many parts will not be specifically identified (screw sizes, washer sizes etc.) - you can substitute what you have locally.
Step one: Transition from handle to arm
The supplied handle / tray is what the Loc-Line arm is attached to. I used a small "L" bracket to transition from handle to arm. Lock washers are important in all connections and rubber washers are needed to keep some points from slipping. The "L" is attached to the part of the handle where the strobe would normally be placed. The other end of the "L" is where the arm begins. Be sure to use a rubber washer between the "L" and the first segment of the arm. The first segment is a fixed mount (base segment). Above that are the regular segments, as many as you want for length. The first of these regular segments needs to have two small holes drilled into it for drainage. The holes should be approximately across from each other.
