Nauticam Carbon Fibre Aluminium Float Arms from $145 Nauticam

Nauticam Carbon Fibre Aluminium Float Arms

Nauticam Carbon Fibre Aluminium Float Arms come with a lifetime warrantee.

The Nauticam Carbon Fiber Float Arms series are manufactured from a high quality carbon fiber tubing with molded plastic end caps and machined aluminum balls. O-Ring seals ensure water tight integrity and each arm includes an aluminum spine that ties the entire assembly together, making the arm stronger than one machined from solid aluminum alone. This robust design is why we are able to guarantee these arms’ watertightness for life!

Nauticam Carbon Fiber Float Arm System

One approach that some underwater photographers have taken to lighten the load underwater is through the use of floats made of a special type of foam that compresses less than conventional foam. While this can be a useful option, foam does have its drawbacks. Typical “incompressible” foam blocks begin to noticeably compress at 100′ and by 200′ have completely lost effectives, and have begun to permanently deform. Foam can also break down over time and make something of a mess. Nauticam Carbon Fiber arms do not measurably compress even at 100 meters/330 feet, and look more streamlined than chunky foam blocks.

Carbon fiber doesn’t just look cool. It is five times as strong as steel, yet weighs about two-thirds less. Lighter means more net buoyancy for the same volume. In the 60mm diameter class, for example, the Nauticam arm provides 50% more buoyancy than competitors aluminum tubing arms. The 90mm diameter arms are perfect for systems demanding even more lift.

For our Nautical arms, we don’t keep every version in store and so it may take an extra day or 2 to get them in for you.
