Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm

We've all been in the situation when tilting a softbox or beauty dish is limited because it hits the stand, well Westcott has come to the rescue with the Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm. Made of iron and brass and able support gear weighing up to 17.64 lb, the Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm has a 5/8" receiver for the stand as well as a 5/8" threaded stud for the light or other modifier and is also able to offset a light to the left or right to hide the stand.

Great for butterfly, hair, rim, and other lighting situations, this 8" mini extension arm is an ideal length for maximizing the tilt of many speedlight softboxes, umbrellas, and other light modifiers for precise positioning away from the light stand column. Extending your modifier an additional 8" from a light stand also prevents situations when the center column of the stands blocks your modifier from tilting in the desired position

The Westcott 8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm is a clever solution for situations when a light and modifier need to be placed off-center. This is especially useful when lighting in the butterfly position, as this eliminates the need for a boom arm to shoot around the stand. The Shorty offset arm also provides flexibility for hiding a light stand behind a background or set wall with the light positioned over the top
