BeamMount Arca
$39.00
BeamMount Arca is a compact torch-to-lens mounting solution that clamps directly to your lens foot via Arca-Swiss and holds a single 25 mm hunting torch perfectly aligned with your optical axis. It is designed for photographers who want clean, predictable illumination without using flash, making it ideal for night work, spotlighting, and identification where simplicity and alignment matter most.
Product Details
BeamMount Arca brings aligned torch lighting directly to your lens, without the complexity of flash-based setups. By clamping onto your lens foot using a standard Arca-Swiss interface, it keeps your torch locked on-axis with your field of view, so what you see is exactly what you light. The result is faster aiming, fewer missed moments, and a simpler field workflow.
This mount is purpose-built for shooting with torch light alone. It is ideal for photographers who prefer continuous illumination for tracking, focus, or identification, or who work in situations where flash is undesirable or impractical.
Model Overview
BeamMount Arca is the simplest and most direct way to mount a torch to your lens. Unlike flash-based systems, it removes the need for triggers, batteries, and sync, while maintaining precise alignment through a rigid Arca-mounted interface. The clamp body is machined anodised aluminium for strength and repeatable fit, while the torch cradle is printed in carbon fibre nylon for high stiffness, durability, and heat resistance.

Safety & Use
BeamMount Arca is designed to flex slightly for a secure torch fit, but excessive force during insertion or removal can permanently reduce grip strength. Always use steady, even pressure and avoid twisting or prying the torch. Ensure the Arca clamp is firmly tightened before use, especially when mounted to a lens foot, to prevent rotation or slippage during tracking.
