have tried the cheaper alternatives and they just don't cut it

Great product. Light and tough, I'm sure it will last for years to come

I work in a pretty small market so most of the gear I have on set with me is whatever I can fit in the back of my SUV. My old, cheap, glow 8x8 butterfly frame, while compact, was falling apart (after very little use tbh) so I wanted to get something that would last forever. This corner set fits the bill and gives me the flexibility to make my frame whatever size I need, as long as I have the square tubing required. It keeps your frame kit well-contained (as long as you have the space) and takes no time to set up.

Solid build and quality. Will last for a long time. Use this with low boy stand and lighting equipment. Wish they also offered in powder coated black.

Needed this to round out my Grip package and you can't go wrong with Matthews.

This Matthews Hollywood Baby Offset Arm is an essential piece of grip and worth every penny. It can be used as a convenient alternative to using a boom arm especially when you have limited space. I use it when I want to quickly have a light over my subject at a Paramount/butterfly lighting position but don't want the stand in my line of sight. The huge advantage of using this particular product is that it has a telescopic arm that extends from 18 to 25. It weighs a feathery 3.5 lbs and is rock solid. I suggest pairing it with a baby roller stand with a sandbag for safety.

Great stuff.

I LOVE that it is adjustable, allowing for shorter or longer offset distances. Solid, as all Matthews products are.

Perfect for when you want to get the light closer in and away from the stand but don’t want to resort to booming. Rock solid like all Matthews grip. At first I was skeptical about the double pin, but it really comes in handy in getting a 6 foot strip box low to the ground on the Hollywood baby Jr stand when the light is hung on the bottom pin.
