Kupo KCP-240B 40"""" Extension Grip Arm - Black

Kupo KCP-240B 40" Extension Grip Arm – 2½" Grip Head on 40" Steel Tubing for Secure Gobo Positioning (Black)

The Kupo KCP-240B is a 40" extension grip arm fitted with a 2½" grip head. It combines a long steel tubing arm and a versatile grip head to position flags, scrims, silks and other accessories precisely. The arm's machined surface provides a non-slip grip for confident handling on set.

Key features and benefits

• 2½" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" steel tubing arm for extended reach and control.
• Grip head accepts multiple mounting sizes—5/8", 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4"—so it works with a wide range of accessories.
• V-shaped jaws with teeth securely grab mounted items between the plates, reducing slippage during use.
• Oversized ergonomic T handle and dedicated roller bearings provide comfortable operation and higher torque when tightening.
• Steel tubing is machined to create a rough, non-slip surface for a secure hold.
• Stealthy black powder coated finish for a low-reflective appearance on set.

Construction and durability

The grip head consists of rotating aluminum discs attached to a 5/8" (16 mm) receiver. The assembly uses a non-slip aluminum friction disc designed to maintain durability over time and to offer positive locking strength and precise control. A solid steel central stift with a fixed solid pin secures the grip head to the aluminum casting, increasing strength and long-term durability.

In addition, the grip head incorporates dedicated roller bearings to deliver maximum torque with the oversized T handle. Together, these elements provide reliable clamping force and smooth operation when positioning grip accessories.

Compatibility and common uses

The grip head's four different sized V-shaped jaws accept accessories and tubing with 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" or 1/4" mounting studs. Therefore, you can mount standard grip studs, smaller studs, or quarter-inch accessories without adapters. In practice, the 40" grip arm is used to place gobos—such as flags, scrims and silks—as well as other accessories virtually anywhere on set where extra reach and secure positioning are required.

Practical handling tips

• Use the oversized ergonomic T handle to apply higher torque comfortably when tightening the grip head.
• Take advantage of the rough-machined tubing surface for a non-slip handhold while positioning the arm.
• Combine the arm with standard grip stands or clamps as needed to extend reach while maintaining stability.
