Component breakdown

Quick release mounting system
QR modules on both ends allow you to pre-mount adapters to your gear, then quickly attach or remove the arm without threading it each time. This reduces setup time and simplifies rig changes.

Dual-lock safety system
The QR mechanism features its own locking system, independent of the arm’s central locking lever, helping keep your accessories securely attached.

Multi-mount adapter
The included module supports 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and ARRI anti-twist configurations via a flip-up twist tab. This gives you flexibility across a wide range of professional equipment.

Articulating arm design
Three articulation points allow precise positioning. A central locking lever secures all joints simultaneously, while anti-slip gears help maintain position under load.

Cold shoe mounting foot
Provides quick attachment for lights, monitors, and other cold shoe-compatible accessories.
