Arm System Compatibility with E-M5 Mark II?/?PT-EP13?(*1)

• Grip Base M1 / Available in the market / JAN code: 456212143 605 3
• D Holder / Available in the market / JAN code: 456212143 431 8
• Shoe Base (*8) / Available in the market / JAN code: 456212143 356 4
• Grip Base D4 / Available in the market / JAN code: 456212143 430 1

The Grip Base M1 is a base arm specifically designed for midsize underwater housing like micro four thirds digital SLR. The Grip Base M1 is firmly attached on a housing with two tripod screws and equipped legs on the base provide stable placement of combined housing. As Grip Base D4 (*9), wide variety of INON adapters/bases is compatible with the Grip Base M1 and easy to set-up multiple lighting system with dual strobe configuration by attaching extra D Holder.

The compact light arm Shoe Base (*8) is directly attached on the housing accessory shoe.

(*8) When installing a strobe/LED light via INON Shoe Base on the PT-EP13, the camera system will have neutral buoyancy. Adjust total underwater weight by using other accessories to get slightly negative buoyancy to avoid accidental rapid ascent.
(*9) The "D Holder" of the Grip Base D4 is for left side use only. When attaching on the right hand side of the housing, space between the D Holder and housing becomes extremely narrow and prevents you to hold the housing directly.
