The KUPO Black 40" Extension Grip Arm with hex baby pin handle is a 2 1/2" grip head mounted on the end of a 40" piece of steel tubing 5/8" (16mm) in diameter. The Hex pin end prevents heavy light fixtures from twisting under their own weight.

The surface of the tubing is painstakingly machined to create a rough texture to ensure a non-slip surface. The 2-1/2" grip head consists of a pair of rotating aluminium discs attached to a 5/8" (16 mm) receiver. The discs have four different sized "V"-shaped jaws to accept any accessory with a 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" or 1/4" mounting stud or tubing. The "V"-shaped jaws have "teeth" that grab whatever is mounted between the plates securely. The 2-1/2" grip head features an oversized ergonomic "T"-handle and dedicated roller bearings designed for maximum torque. The grip head uses a non-slip aluminium friction disc that will maintain its durability over time that offers the user positive locking strength and precise control and is constructed around a solid steel central bolt with a fixed solid pin to secure it to the aluminium casting for increased strength and durability. The 40" grip arm is almost always used in conjunction with a 2 1/2" grip head, giving you complete flexibility to position a gobo "go between the light and a subject" such as flags, scrims and silks as well as other accessories virtually anywhere.

John M. ★★★★★

The hex baby pin locks down solid on my C-stand without any slippage, even with a heavy fixture attached. That 40-inch reach gives me just enough clearance to flag off a key light without the arm drooping.

Julian E. ★★★★★

Finally, a grip arm long enough to reach over a c-stand without wobbling. The steel tubing feels solid even with a small light on the baby pin.

Three days of shooting with this on a boom pole and the 40" steel tube never flexed once, even with a heavy light hanging off the hex pin end. The 2 1/2" grip head feels machined tight and locks down solid, exactly what you want when you’re reaching up to adjust a fixture. It’s become my go-to for o
