Component breakdown

Quick release mounting system
QR modules allow you to pre-attach mounting points to your gear, then quickly connect or disconnect the arm without threading it each time. This speeds up both setup and pack-down.

Dual-lock safety system
The QR system features an independent dual-lock mechanism, helping ensure your accessories remain securely attached during use.

Multi-mount adapter
The included module supports multiple standards—1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and ARRI anti-twist—via a flip-up twist tab, making it adaptable across different rigs and accessories.

Extended articulating arm
With three articulation points and an 11" length, the arm provides increased reach for positioning accessories away from the camera body or around other equipment.

Central locking system
A single locking lever secures all joints simultaneously, while anti-slip gearing helps maintain the set position under load.

Cold shoe mounting foot
Enables quick attachment of accessories such as LED lights or monitors.

Why choose this product

This model is ideal when you need both reach and speed. The extended length offers more positioning options, while the QR system reduces downtime when swapping or adjusting accessories. It’s particularly useful in fast-paced or multi-camera environments.

Ideal uses

• Mounting monitors with extra clearance from the camera
• Positioning lights on larger rigs
• Building modular, quick-change setups
• Working in production environments where speed matters
