Flare Buster 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY
This is the 15" Arm for the Flare Buster system. To be used in combination with the other components.
The FlareBuster system is a handy accessory that shields your lens from image-degrading stray light without the need for large lens hoods or for shielding the lens with a hat or your hand. It stores in a very compact fashion and can universally shade all but the biggest of telephoto lenses quite effectively.

Comments about 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY:
I use this to shade the lens on my large format (4x5) camera when using my betterlight scanning back. Some scans take up to 10minutes and a simple use of my hand to shade the lens becomes a tiring event. The Flare Buster holds my shade card exactly where I need it for as long as I wish.

Comments about 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY:
Broke the first second I used it at the hot shoe. No weight on the clip at the other end. Gorilla Glue to the rescue.For [$] this product should be solid overall. Get some real glue guys!

Comments about 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY:
Useful with a technical camera to reduce/eliminate lens flare. Just use a gray card or piece of foam core as the flat surface in the clamp. Works as advertised.

Comments about 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY:
This product is a great help in controlling flare with a tech (or other) camera. I use it with a 3 x 5 in. piece of black foam core, other things will work.
Seems sturdy enough, although I'm a bit suspect that the base, where it attaches to the camera's hot shoe, may eventually break.

Comments about 15" Flare Buster Arm ONLY:
This gadget is incredibly useful, especially if you often shoot from a tripod. It is also very portable, and can substitutte for an assortment of lens shades if you are trying to keep you pack small. The one problem is the arm tends to break off where the clip is -- I have gone through 4 of them in 2-3 years.

I'm using this for my large format cameras to clip on to the darkcloth to make it into a lens shade and hold in place. Compact, lightweight and sturdy enough.
