Upgrade Innovations Single 8″ Rudy Arm: Rock-Solid, Modular Mounting for Professionals
Meet the ultimate solution for secure and versatile accessory mounting on your professional camera rig. The Upgrade Innovations Single 8″ Rudy Arm is engineered from the ground up to eliminate the frustrations of sagging arms and loosening accessories. Designed for camera assistants, DITs, and filmmakers who demand reliability, this articulating arm provides a steadfast, non-slip connection for monitors, transmitters, and other critical gear, allowing you to focus on the shot, not your setup.
Built around a robust 8-inch, 15mm rod system, the Rudy Arm features industry-standard Arri 3/8" pin-loc mounts on both ends. This anti-twist design ensures your equipment stays exactly where you put it, even during dynamic camera movements. With two independent pivot points—a Ball-Loc anchor and a Friction-Loc clamp—you gain precise, independent control. Lock down the arm's base with absolute strength while making fine, smooth adjustments to your monitor's angle on the fly. Its impressive 20 lb (9 kg) payload capacity means it can handle even heavy-duty monitors and accessories with complete confidence.
The true genius of the Rudy Arm lies in its modularity. The entire system is interchangeable with other Rudy Arm components and standard 15mm accessories, offering endless configuration possibilities. Add or remove sections, swap out mounts, or integrate it into a larger 15mm rod setup. The unique O-Ring design allows for quick, tool-less adjustments and component removal. Crafted in Canada from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum with a Mil-Spec anodized finish and stainless steel hardware, the Rudy Arm is built to withstand the rigors of any set for years to come.
