About the The Light Source Mega-Baby 12" Sidearm Tube Only, Black Anodized

The Light Source Mega-Baby 12" Sidearm Tube Only is a compact structural extension arm designed to provide a rigid and adjustable offset when mounting equipment to truss or pipe structures. This component consists solely of a 12-inch long, black anodized aluminum tube, which serves as the core structural element of a sidearm assembly. The tube is engineered to be used with separate end fittings or clamps, allowing it to be configured as a horizontal or vertical extension. One end typically attaches to a primary support like a Mega-Clamp or truss corner block, while the other end provides a mounting point for a lighting fixture, small speaker, or cable tray, effectively moving the equipment away from the main structure for better positioning, clearance, or aesthetic alignment.

Constructed from high-strength aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, the tube is both lightweight and capable of supporting moderate loads. Its 12-inch length offers a practical amount of reach for fine-tuning the placement of equipment without the bulk and cost of a full truss section. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-reflectivity, professional appearance that blends seamlessly into dark overhead rigging environments. As a "tube only" product, it offers maximum flexibility for system integrators and riggers who may already have the necessary end connectors or wish to use specialized hardware to create a custom mounting solution tailored to a specific application.

This sidearm tube is a versatile and essential piece of hardware for custom rigging solutions in event production, theatrical lighting, and permanent installations. It enables technicians to solve common spatial challenges, such as positioning a light just outside the shadow of a truss or angling a speaker for optimal coverage, by creating a simple yet strong cantilevered arm. Its standardized diameter ensures compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard clamps and connectors, making it a fundamental building block for constructing adaptable and precise equipment support systems.
