LocLine Arms

[mdmbike to scuba]

Just want to be clear, I am only a hobbyist, and definitely not an expert.

I know some like a longer arm for more flexibility in controlling where the light comes from, for example lit from the side, but in my own experience, I haven't found a need for long arms. It may have to do with my lamps having a wide beam (appx 90 degrees).

Do you find yourself fully extending the arms when you film ? If so, forget my comment and don't fix what isn't broken. If you rarely fully extend them, you might want to try shortening them. That might help keep the arms from moving.

Thanks Ron for your advise on the lights. These are my first real lights, so I dont know whats good and whats bad. I thought they might be to long but I also like some flexibility in the arms. I think I will take a few links off and try it again. Mark
