Securely Position Reflectors and Boards
The Illuminator Arm Extreme makes it easy to position a reflector exactly where you need it without relying on an assistant. Its two adjustable clamps feature rubber padding to securely grip reflectors, foam core, boards, and other light-control materials while helping to prevent unwanted movement during a shoot.
Ideal for Large Reflectors
Designed to accommodate reflectors up to 183cm wide, the Illuminator Arm Extreme is particularly useful when working with larger light-shaping tools. The telescopic all-metal arm provides plenty of adjustment while maintaining the stability required for demanding studio setups.
Two Mounting Configurations
For maximum versatility, the arm can be configured as a traditional boom-style holder or centre-mounted for additional stability when supporting larger reflectors. This gives you greater freedom to adapt the setup to different reflector sizes, lighting arrangements, and shooting environments.
Built-In Tilting Control
A built-in tilter allows the reflector to be rotated through 180°, making it simple to fine-tune the angle of bounced or blocked light. The arm mounts directly to a standard light stand or C-stand, allowing it to be integrated easily into an existing studio lighting setup.
Rugged Yet Portable
Heavy-duty aluminium construction makes the Illuminator Arm Extreme suitable for regular professional use, while its two telescopic sections allow it to collapse down to approximately 86cm. This makes it considerably easier to transport between locations or store when not in use.
