Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm

Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm - Perfect for precise light positioning

The Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm is the ideal solution for filmmakers and photographers who need to adjust their light modifiers and create perfect lighting conditions. With its compact length, this mini extension arm allows for precise placement of light sources and modifiers, giving you the freedom to control the light just the way you want. Whether you are working with speedlight softboxes, umbrellas, or other light modifiers, this arm will make your work easier and improve your results.

Flexibility in light placement

The Shorty arm's design is particularly useful when you need to place lights and modifiers off-center. This is very practical when lighting in the so-called "butterfly position," as you can avoid using a boom arm to photograph around the tripod. By using the Shorty offset arm, you can also easily hide light stands behind backgrounds or set walls, with the light positioned above. This flexibility allows you to create more dynamic and interesting images.

Safe and stable construction

Made of sturdy iron and brass, this mini boom arm can handle a maximum load of up to 17.64 lbs (8 kg). It features a 5/8" female receiver and a 5/8" male stud with 1/4" thread, ensuring it fits most tripods. To ensure the stability of your lighting equipment, we recommend using a weight bag when the arm is mounted on a tripod. With a sleek black color and solid construction, it is both functional and reliable.
