Shorty Extension Arm in my bag

I can carry this in my bag along with a tripod for needed reach with a softbox with no need to drag along my hefty stands.

Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm

Discover the versatility and precision of the 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm, a must-have tool for professional photographers and videographers. This sturdy and adjustable extension arm is designed to enhance the tilting range of your light source, making it ideal for butterfly, hair, rim, and other intricate lighting situations.

The 8" length of this extension arm is perfect for maximizing the tilt of a variety of speedlight softboxes, umbrellas, and other light modifiers. By extending your modifier an additional 8" from a light stand, you can avoid the common issue of the stand's center column blocking your modifier from tilting to the desired position.

The Shorty Offset Extension Arm is a smart solution for those instances when you need to position your light source off-center. This feature is particularly beneficial when lighting in the butterfly position, eliminating the need for a boom arm to shoot around the stand. Moreover, the Shorty offset arm offers the flexibility to hide a light stand behind a background or set wall, with the light positioned over the top.

Constructed from durable iron and brass, this robust mini boom arm can support a load capacity of up to 17.64 lbs (8 kg). It comes equipped with a 5/8" female receiver and a 5/8" male stud with a 1/4" thread, along with two tension knob hole options for secure attachment to various stands.

For optimal stability of your lighting equipment when mounted to a light stand, the use of a weight bag is recommended. The Westcott HurleyPro H2Pro weight bag (#HP-WB1) is a convenient option. This refillable water weight bag can be drained for lightweight travel, making it a practical choice for on-the-go photographers and videographers.

Experience the difference in your photography and videography with the 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm, a product that combines durability, adjustability, and comfort in one versatile package.
