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" 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 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.
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" female receiver and 5/8" male stud with 1/4" 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.

I shoot with Westcott gear. This mini boom arm is perfect for off setting a light just enough that it is out of your way without making a lot of fuss. Well made and strong.

I was looking for way to do paramount or butterfly lighting on location (without a boom) and this is the answer!

I used to have the now discontinued Paul C Buff Baby Boomer arm. This is essentially the same thing. Make sure you sandbag the legs of the light stand prior to adding the light.

I stumbled onto this nifty little product and have been using it with my off camera flash equipment. The angle of the arm makes it so much easier to place the flash in the perfect angle while I'm shooting and I wonder why I never bought this great product sooner! Well made and very useful for off camera flash.
