ATTACHING FLASH HOUSING TO ARM
You can either use the Fantasea Flex or Ball and Joint Arms to attach the flash housing to the camera
housing.
Other arm systems can be used and Fantasea offers adapters to make this possible. Please check with
Fantasea or your dealer regarding compatibility issues.
Insert the flat rounded end of the arm into the housing clamp and align so the threaded stainless steel pin can
be inserted.
The pin goes through the non-threaded section of the clamp first and exits through the threaded section and is
secured. There is no need for the use of force.
BATTERY LIFE
The Ni Cad and Alkaline batteries used with the flash are very efficient and usually last for more than one
typical photo dive.
It is always wise to have backup batteries in case you do run out of power. The Ni Cad batteries can be
recharged many times and offer an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to one-use
disposable batteries. Check the user's manual of the Canon 580EX Mark II Speedlight for confirmation of
compatibility with other batteries.
