Westcott 8″ Shorty Offset Extension Arm

Westcott 8″ Shorty Offset Extension Arm

The Westcott 8″ Shorty Offset Extension Arm is a compact extension arm that offers an easy solution for positioning a light source and light modifier slightly to the side of the stand. The 20.8 cm of extra length allows softboxes, umbrellas and other light modifiers to be angled more freely without the centre column of the stand obstructing the desired angle. The short offset arm is particularly useful for butterfly lighting, as it reduces the need for a separate boom.

This practical extension arm is also ideal for situations where you want to hide the light stand behind the background or set-up, whilst still directing the light precisely to the right spot. This makes the Shorty a versatile tool both in the studio and on location.

Thanks to its iron and brass construction, the handle is durable and can support a load of up to 8 kg. It features a 5/8” female thread and a 5/8” male end with a 1/4” thread, as well as two different clamping holes, allowing the arm to be attached to a wide variety of stands. To ensure safe use, it is always recommended to use an additional weight on the stand.
