Increase the Tilting Range of Your Light Source

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-inch from a light stand also prevents situations when the center column of the stands blocks your modifier from tilting in the desired position.

An Easy Solution for Positioning Your Light Source Off-Center

The Shorty is a clever solution for situations when 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.

Allows Secure & Proper Placement

Made of iron and brass, this durable mini-boom arm supports a load capacity up to 17.64 lbs (8 kg). It includes 5/8-inch female receiver and 5/8-inch male stud with 1/4-inch thread, along with 2 tension knob hole options for secure attachment to various stands. When mounted to a light stand, we recommend using a weight bag to ensure the stability of your lighting equipment. The convenient Westcott HurleyPro H2Pro weight bag (#HP-WB1) is a refillable water weight bag that can be drained for lightweight travel.
