The Adjustable Pole with Socket and Fixed Ends from Impact is a handy accessory with uses far in excess of its original purpose of creating a short support for the backlight stand's base. The pole is adjustable from 20 to 34" for use as a microphone pole or a mobile light or flash support that can be handheld by an assistant. At one end of the pole is a fixed 5/8" stud that is compatible with most 5/8" receivers. It also has a 3/8"-16 male thread for greater mounting flexibility. The other end of the pole has a reversible, removable 5/8" stud with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 male threads to attach to gear with matching sockets. Removing the stud converts the bottom of the stand into a 5/8" receiver that, since it's compatible with most stands' studs, allows you to use the pole as a light stand extension. A clever feature of the receiver is an additional 5/8" receptacle in the receiver's side, allowing stand mounting horizontally as a mini boom to hold reflectors or lightweight gear.

Impact LS-3SAP Reviews
Very wobbly
By Marwa
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-08
It's functional, but is of surprisingly low quality compared to other Impact products. My main issue with it is that the spigot at one end is riveted in very poorly, and as a result is very wobbly. The rest of the materials in the pole are pretty cheap, but if the issue with the wobbly spigot was resolved, I think it would actually be a good option for the price.
great features with a flaw

Would be a perfect item if the bases did not wobble on the 1 rivet design at each end.

How much weight can this pole support/suspend vertically?
The manufacturer does not publish a load limit for this boom but it would work well for a speedlight or reflector or light weight light. For a heavy monolight or large modifier a steel boom on a c stand would be a better choice.

I'm thinking of attaching the clamp to my desk, mount this in there and affix a light at the top.

Can this be used as an extension for the Impact Telescoping Tabletop Light Stand
BH #IMLS12 MFR #LS-12 ?
While this Impact Adjustable Pole with Socket and Fixed Ends could be used as an extension for the Impact Telescoping Tabletop Light Stand, there will be a reduction in the load capacity that the stand is able to handle. Your results may vary.
