Description
- Compact 5" arm length provides excellent control and positioning while keeping underwater and cinema camera rigs smaller and easier to manage.
- The DB-05 is Ultralight's original standard double-ball arm design and remains one of our most popular arm sizes.
- Measures 5" from O-ring to O-ring and 6" overall.
- Standard 1" ball ends work throughout the Ultralight modular arm and clamp system.
- Made from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with Type III hard anodizing for durability in demanding underwater and topside environments.
- Made in the USA and backed by Ultralight's lifetime warranty.
The DB-05 is a versatile choice when you want excellent accessory positioning without adding unnecessary length to your camera rig. Its compact size makes it especially useful for macro, close-focus wide-angle and travel setups, while still providing plenty of flexibility for positioning strobes, lights, monitors and other accessories.

| DB-08 – 8" | Versatile general-purpose arm for most camera systems |
| DB-09 – 9" | Additional reach while remaining relatively compact |
