How much weight will a grip arm support ?
How much weight will a grip arm support ?
Using the Avenger Turtle Base C-Stand with the Matthews Hollywood 40" Gobo arm with Mathews Hollywood 2.5 inch Grip Head attached I suspended one gallon of water from the grip-head end. The arm was angled up 12 degrees from level.
One gallon water = 8.34 lbs
Grip Head = 1.4 lbs shipping weight
I have not used this rig for anything heavier than this so I can only say it temporally supported 9.7 pounds. There was a slight bow to the Gobo arm.

question
Will the diameter of the arm fit into a standard umbrella swivel adapter?
The diameter of this arm would be too large to fit the umbrella slot on a standard umbrella swivel adapter.
