DIVEVOLK Float Arm 447g and 872g Buoyancy for Underwater Photography
Standard shipping
Estimated delivery time: 3-5 days
Achieve the perfect buoyancy balance for your underwater photography rig with the DIVEVOLK Float Arm. Available in two buoyancy ratings -- 447g and 872g -- these arms are engineered to reduce the effective weight of your housing and accessories underwater, giving you a more natural, neutrally buoyant setup that is easier to hold steady while composing shots.
Beyond buoyancy, the float arm doubles as a positioning arm for your dive lights. Its rigid aluminum construction lets you extend and angle lights precisely away from the camera axis, eliminating backscatter and delivering directional, professional-quality illumination. The arms connect seamlessly to standard ball-joint clamp systems, making them compatible with virtually any underwater photography rig.

FAQ
- Which buoyancy rating should I choose?
- The 447g arm suits lighter rigs -- a housing with a single light or lens. The 872g arm is better for heavier setups with dual lights, large dome ports, or multiple accessories. Aim for neutral buoyancy: total float arm buoyancy should roughly offset the negative buoyancy of your rig.
- Can I use two float arms together?
- Yes. Many photographers use a float arm on each side of their rig for maximum buoyancy and symmetric balance. The arms connect to standard ball joint clamps so they integrate easily into any arm system.
- How do I maintain the float arm after a dive?
- Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after every dive, paying attention to the ball joints. Allow to air dry completely before storage and inspect metal parts for signs of corrosion.
