The Impact BHE-114 Pivot Arm 20" with Locking Lever is a highly regarded piece of professional grip equipment, a form of articulated "magic arm" designed to provide versatile and precise positioning of photographic and video accessories in a studio or on location. This device is particularly valued for its durable aluminum construction and an innovative central lever-locking mechanism. Unlike arms that use a friction knob, the BHE-114's lever allows a user to fully loosen all three articulation points (two ball joints at the ends and the central elbow) simultaneously for fluid repositioning, and then lock them all down securely with a single, quick motion. This intuitive design saves considerable time during busy shoots when adjustments need to be made instantly and locked into place with certainty.

The arm's strength and adaptability make it ideal for mounting a diverse array of gear, such as small LED panels, speedlights, audio recorders, field monitors, or small camera bodies. It is engineered to hold a respectable load of up to 8 pounds even when fully extended. The thoughtful inclusion of flat sides on the 5/8" baby pins helps prevent unwanted rotation when inserted into a grip head or clamp receiver, enhancing safety and stability. For maximum mounting versatility, it features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 female taps integrated into the pins, ensuring compatibility with virtually all standard professional photo and video accessories. When combined with a robust mounting solution like a super clamp (purchased separately), this pivot arm becomes an indispensable tool for achieving unique angles and saving valuable floor space.
