How to arrange your camera arm

Hi, just wanna get some idea how you arrange your arm. I have 2pcs 5" and 2pcs 8" arm. 5" come 1st or 8" come 1st?

Hi CK,

I find the rig is more stable if I attach the 5" arm to the housing and then the 8" to the strobe. That way when you fold everything up your strobes won't be floating up in the air. Much more stable on the camera table. Try it both ways and see which you like.

Have fun,

Steve

LOL, I do it completely the reverse way to Steve! 8" on first and then the 5".....

Steve's advice sounds very good to me: try them both and see which you like best. I'lm going to give Steve's method a go too.....

There's a good deal of discussion about arms here

Cheers,

Jim.
