Rudy Arm Double Arm System: The Ultimate Articulating Arm
Meet the industry's new standard for strength and versatility. The Upgrade Innovations Rudy Arm is not just another articulating arm; it's a complete, professional-grade mounting solution engineered for the demanding environments of any film or photo set. Forget the frustration of sagging arms and unreliable locks. The Rudy Arm is meticulously designed to securely mount your essential accessories—from monitors and lights to transmitters and microphones—exactly where you need them, without compromise. Its robust construction and intelligent design provide the stability and confidence you need to focus on capturing the perfect shot.
The genius of the Rudy Arm lies in its completely modular system. Built around a unique combination of our custom pivot clamps, universal mounting studs, and innovative o-ring design rods, it delivers unparalleled adaptability. The double-arm configuration provides an impressive 13-inch reach, but you can easily add, remove, or reconfigure sections to create the perfect length for any application. Every component is cross-compatible with other 15mm systems, making it a seamless addition to your existing gear. The system features two distinct clamp types: the Ball-Loc, a rosette-style positive locking system for superior, no-slip strength, and the Friction-Loc, which uses strong friction disks for making fine, precise adjustments on the fly. This combination gives you both rock-solid security and nuanced control.
Crafted from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the Rudy Arm is built to withstand the rigors of daily professional use. Its clever captive o-ring design prevents clamps from accidentally sliding off the rods during adjustments, while the universal mounting pins offer three standard options (15mm pin, 1/4"-20, and 3/8"-16) in a single component. This is more than an accessory; it's a transformative system that evolves with your needs, ensuring it's the last articulating arm you'll ever have to buy.
*Please note: This item is built to order and typically delivered within 14 workdays.
