Trays, arms and clamps

[Hcklo]

Hi shooters

After almost 2 years of shooting with a tg6 and a 1x inon s2000 strobe is time for me to upgrade a little bit my UW photo équipements.

The big thing that I want to change is my tray, Arms and clamps. I currently have the

Hyperion Pro Dual Handle Camera Tray Set with Ball Mounts - The Scuba Doctor Dive Shop - Buy Scuba Diving, Snorkelling, Spearfishing and Freediving Gear from Australia's best online dive retailer

The Scuba Doctor Dive Shop Hyperion Pro Dual Handle Camera Tray Set with Ball Mounts - The Hyperion Pro Dual Handle Camera Tray Set includes an Adjustable Base Tray, two Rubber Grip Handles, and two Ball Mounts. This top quality Dual Camera Tray Set suits most compact camera housings, including...

scubadoctor.com.au

And several clamps/arms from different shops.

The tray has some issues (the balls from the tray turns on itself even if I unscrew, clean, rescrew).
The clamps has several issues (the thread of the screws was dead, I change the screw already, it is getting better but the general quality of the clamps seems low).

I am looking to find some equipment that is durable, I always clean my équipement after a dive, I even clean the clamps in an ultrasound bath to make sure they are clean.

So my question is, would you have a recommendable supplier of trays/clamp/arms in Europe if possible

Thanks for your help

I have found Howshot clamps and similar gear to be good value (bought from https://www.divervision.com). It also interoperates pretty well with Ultralight Control Systems (ULCS) gear. I would say ULCS is the most popular "quality" brand in Canada / US. You can't go wrong with either IMHO, but in Asia Howshot stuff may be cheaper. I have picked up some "kitdive" clamps and arms, and while not terrible, I prefer the Howshot stuff.

They gave me a quotation for a camera set up with housing and lenses about $3K less than what Backscatter quoted me, same BoQ plus free DHL shipping to Libya.

Do people ordering from outside EU pay the "Tax Excl" price? I would likely have to pay Canadian taxes on import, and I hate to be taxed twice.

Yes, no tax on exported goods, you will only have to pay an import tax for Canada.

No tax if shipped outside EU. No tax for me in Libya either

I’m fortunate to have access to a community college machine shop. Back in my Nikonos days I had a box full of trays, arms, and connectors, but found myself retuning to my stripped down version of a random steel tray and an aluminum arm a machinist friend made for me. I plan to do the same thing in Delrin for my digital mini rig.
