Description
The Matthews 40" Hollywood Arm is a rock-solid solution for mounting lighting fixtures, modifiers, and grip gear with total control and confidence. Made from durable steel, this arm includes a fixed 2.5" Grip Head on one end, and is designed to slide seamlessly into a standard 2.5" Grip Head (sold separately) on any 5/8" (Baby) pin—like the ones found on a Matthellini Clamp or a C-Stand. Just place the 5/8" steel rod of the arm into the 5/8" mounting hole on your separate Grip Head, lock it down with the ergonomic t-handle, and you're ready to rig. Always remember: weight on the right, and tighten righty-tighty for maximum hold. The arm's fixed 2.5" Grip Head provides endless rigging options—use it to position a light, hold a flag, or place diffusion in front of your light. Serrated plates lock in firmly, while the magic gasket holds tight to prevent slippage or the arm from sagging. Whether you're on set or in studio, the Hollywood Arm gives you the reliability you need, with the kind of grip strength pros trust every day. Available in silver and black.
