Designed to hold a light fixture or accessory in place, the Pivot Arm 20" with Adjustable Wheel Lock Control is a space-saving grip tool for a variety of applications. It's a great match-up with a super clamp, for instance, with an optional camera platform for highly mobile work. The wheel at the arm's elbow is capable of tension adjustment so that you can easily secure gear weighing up to 8 lb in the position you've chosen.

Adjustable Tension Wheel    Camera Platform for Lightweight Cameras    Pivot Arm With 360 Degree Rotation    Adjustable Tension Wheel    Ball-and-Socket 5/8" Pins    1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 Female Threads

Position your lighting or camera gear where you need it with 360° rotation of the pivot arms. Maximum extension is 20".

One baby pin is threaded female 1/4ʺ-20 and the other female 3/8ʺ-16 threaded for flexibility in the type of gear you can mount.

Lock the position of the pivot arms and baby pins simply by twisting the adjustable wheel lock control. Further adjustment to the positioning of your equipment is made by altering the tension of the internal locking mechanism.

The pins at the end of each arm are capable of swiveling on their ball-and-socket joints providing extra flexibility for positioning your equipment.
