Westcott 8'' Shorty Offset Extension Arm For Flash, Black, Iron & Brass, 5/8'' Female Receiver & Male Stud, 2 Tension Knob Holes

The Westcott Shorty Offset Extension Arm Is A Convenient Tool That Increases The Tilting Range Of A Light Source Mounted To A Light Stand. Great For Butterfly, Hair, Rim, And Other Lighting Situations, This 8 Mini Extension Arm Is An Ideal Length For Maximizing The Tilt Of Many Speedlight Softboxes, Umbrellas, And Other Light Modifiers For Precise Positioning Away From The Light Stand Column. Extending Your Modifier An Additional 8'' From A Light Stand Also Prevents Situations When The Stand Blocks Your Modifier From Tilting In The Desired Position. The Shorty Is A Useful Solution For Situations When A Light And Modifier Need To Be Placed Off-Center. This Is Especially Useful When Lighting In The Butterfly Position, As This Eliminates The Need For A Boom Arm To Shoot Around The Stand. The Shorty Offset Arm Also Provides Flexibility For Hiding A Light Stand Behind A Background Or Set Wall With The Light Positioned Over The Top. Made Of Iron And Brass, This Durable Mini Boom Arm Supports A Load Capacity Up To 17.64 Lbs (8 Kg). It Includes 5/8'' Female Receiver And 5/8'' Male Stud With 1/4'' Thread, Along With 2 Tension Knob Hole Options To Ensure The Proper Placement. When Mounted To A Light Stand, We Recommend Using A Weight Bag To Ensure The Stability Of Your Lighting Equipment.
