Articulated arms are one of our most used tools...
today, we'll take at look at the model from Revolve!
The Friction Arm from Revolve is a 28cm long arm
designed to hold all kinds of accessories.
It has a solid steel and aluminum construction
with a great finish, and can carry loads of up to 4.5Kg.
It features three articulations which are tightened
by a single main ***.
One of its advantages compared to other models
is the addition of small teeth in the main articulation...
which prevent slipping or unwanted movements.
It has 1/4"-20 screws on both ends
and one has anti-slip rubber to mount our equipment.
It includes two extra adapters...
The first one allows mounting the arm on 1/4"-20 screws...
like on a tripod or light stand.
The seconds one is a traditional shoe mount adapter...
to mount it right on top of the camera if needed.
These arms are uses to hold any type of accessories
like cameras...
lights...
microphones...
or monitors.
Combined with the Revolve Camera Dolly...
it can be used to hold a camera or cell phone...
positioning them in any possible angle.
Another interesting use is as a compact camera rig.
For examples, we can screw it to the camera and
use it in different positions as additional handles
to help stabilize our recordings.
The Friction Arm from Revolve it's a good option
when compared to similar priced models.
There are other options if you need more length or need
to carry heavier weights...
but Revolve's model adapts well to most situations
and it's a useful tool to always have in your kit.
