CHRISTIAN N : Can this work on a regular light stand?HARESH M : I see no reason why notCHRISTOPHER L : But...yes, it will mount onto a normal light stand as well, Depending on the thickness of your stand you can use the side of the mount that allows the reach to be able to tighten onto the head of your standROBERT C : Not really. It is designed to be used with a C-stand.

Great price for the arm

This is a quality arm at a great price. The clamp cannot securely hold a big softbox but it works fine for a softbox 30" or smaller.

Fits well and holds where adjusted. I like the fluted end for securing the adapter.

Cost cutting measures sabotage utility

It's okay but in future I'll stick with Avenger or Matthews arms. The basic parts are there but corners were cut in important areas. I like that the arm has 3/8 studs on both ends but for a product like this you badly need to file a surface flat so lights/scrims don't twist on the arm. Not hard to do but could be easily done in manufacturing. The knuckle assembly is missing an indexing post by design. They saved 5¢ in aluminum doing this but it introduces a lot of slop and the grip often twists out of alignment when tightened. Finally, there are shallow ratcheting groves molded into the knuckle assembly and not the much more standard steel washer. This will wear out much sooner AND restricts your movements with the arm to certain increments- you can't tighten it at just any angle.

Built like a tank!

Love this arm! I use it with my Flashpoint junior wheelstand. Anything made by this company is built like a tank and I know will last me for the rest of my lifetime. Comfortably holds mh Aputure 300x with any modifier. Highly recommend!

Best for my use case

I Frankenstein a stand together for my key light because there wasn't one particular stand that did it all for me. One thing I knew I wanted for sure was this grip arm. I love that it has the threaded ends and a movable gobo/grib head.. There wasn't anything else I saw that had those particular features. So in short this is the ideal grip arm for my purposes.

Let the Flashpoint C Stand Grip Head elevate your photography and videography projects with its unparalleled durability and versatility. Commonly known as a Gobo or Knuckle Head, this essential tool is expertly crafted to support a wide range of light modifiers, including arms, scrims, cantilever flags, gobos, and even smaller lighting fixtures, positioning them with precision and ease.

Constructed from high-quality cast aluminum, the grip head boasts interlocking surfaces that ensure a secure hold, maintaining a fixed position for any accessory placed on the robust steel arm. The arm itself features four different diameter channels - 3/4", 5/8", 3/8", and 1/8" - to accommodate a diverse array of equipment sizes. The jaws of the grip head are capable of opening up to a maximum of 1-1/8", allowing it to firmly grasp rods, dowels, and studs with confidence.

The design of the channel disks is both intelligent and functional, pivoting around the central tightening handle and featuring grooves that enhance friction for a steadfast grip. This reliable grip head is compatible with light stands, attaching via a 5/8" baby pin receiver hole. It offers two positions for the tightening grip handle, optimizing its use with either standard light stands or the longer baby pin ends found on Century Stands.

Whether you're setting up for a complex still life shoot, requiring support for everything from reflectors to the most delicate of props, or you're on location needing to quickly adjust lighting setups, the Flashpoint C Stand Grip Head is an indispensable element in your toolkit. Its sturdy construction and thoughtful design have stood the test of time, proving it to be an invaluable piece of grip equipment for image makers who demand reliability and quality in their trade tools.
