Confirming Attachment Method

Lastly, a list of some optional parts for attaching the D-180 to your camera/housing system. For more details see page 51, “Optional Accessories” and the instruction manual included with each product.

The D-180 Strobe attaches to strobe arms by a 6mm threaded socket in the strobe base. There are two main ways to attach the strobe to strobe arm adapters:

A) Z Adapter (Ball adapter compatible with Inon and Ultralite arm systems.)

B)YS Adapter (Standard 12mm YS Adapter, available from Inon and various arm system manufacturers. An Inon “YS Adapter Fixing Bolt” is necessary to use a YS Adapter.)
