Kupo KCP-101W Max Arm with Hand Wheel

Kupo KCP-101W Max Arm with Hand Wheel – adjustable arm that positions gear quickly and supports up to 4kg

The Kupo KCP-101W Max Arm lets you position a camera, lighting fixture, or accessory in seconds. It combines 360-degree ball joints, a 360-degree central elbow, and a rubberized hand wheel so you can make precise adjustments and then lock all joints simultaneously.

Key features

• Adjustable arm allows positioning a camera, lighting fixture, or accessory within seconds.
• Supports loads of up to 4kg.
• Large rubberized hand wheel increases tension slowly until all three joints lock at the same time, enabling precise positioning.
• Two 5/8" (16mm) studs at either end are attached to ball joints that rotate 360 degrees, and a sleeve cut-out allows the stud to be bent 90 degrees for angled mounting.
• One stud is tapped to receive a 3/8"-16 thread while the other is tapped to receive a 1/4"-20 thread.
• Each stud has six milled flat surfaces so whatever you mount on the Max Arm will not rotate.
• Equipped with user-replaceable special friction discs and anti-slip rosettes to prevent unwanted movement.
• Black aluminum finish.
• Limited two-year warranty.

Design and adjustment details

The arm uses two 5/8" (16mm) studs mounted on ball joints that rotate a full 360 degrees. Furthermore, a cut-out in the sleeve lets you bend the stud 90 degrees when you need an offset or angled mounting point. For fine control, the central elbow also rotates 360 degrees, giving you multiple axes of adjustment for virtually infinite positioning options.

When you need to lock the setup, the large rubberized hand wheel lets you increase tension gradually. As you tighten the wheel, tension builds evenly until all three joints lock at once. This simultaneous locking reduces drift and simplifies final positioning.

To avoid slippage, the Max Arm uses user-replaceable special friction discs together with anti-slip rosettes. These components prevent unwanted movement and can be replaced by the user when worn.

When to use the Max Arm

• Quickly position camera accessories or small lights on set or in a studio.
• Create angled mounting points using the 90-degree bend capability of the studs.
• Secure fixtures that must not rotate thanks to the six milled flat surfaces on each stud.
• Apply precise final adjustments and lock all joints at once with the large hand wheel.

FAQ

Question: What maximum load can the Kupo Max Arm handle?
Answer: The Max Arm supports loads of up to 4kg, which you should consider when mounting cameras, lights, or accessories to ensure safe operation.

Question: How do I prevent mounted gear from rotating on the studs?
Answer: Each stud features six milled flat surfaces. These flats create a secure, non-rotating interface between the stud and the mounted accessory, reducing the chance of unwanted rotation during use.

Question: Can I adjust the arm to a bent or angled position?
Answer: Yes. The ball joints rotate 360 degrees, and a cut-out in the sleeve allows each stud to be bent 90 degrees for angled mounting. In addition, the central elbow rotates 360 degrees for flexible placement.

Question: How does the hand wheel affect joint locking and positioning?
Answer: The large rubberized hand wheel increases tension slowly and evenly. As you tighten it, tension builds until all three joints lock simultaneously, making it easier to achieve precise final positioning without separate adjustments for each joint.

Question: What happens when the friction discs wear out?
Answer: The Max Arm uses user-replaceable special friction discs alongside anti-slip rosettes. When these parts show wear, you can replace them to restore secure friction and prevent unwanted movement.

Question: Is there any warranty coverage for this product?
Answer: Yes. The Kupo KCP-101W Max Arm comes with a limited two-year warranty. For warranty claims or service, contact your seller or authorized service center for guidance under the warranty terms.
