Kupo KS-195 Extension Arm (Length: 19.5cm)

$40.00 /day

The heavy-duty Kupo KS-195 technical studio extension arm, measuring 19.5cm ( $7.6\text{ inches}$ ) with an anti-twist hexagonal shaft, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Features a integrated 5/8-inch ( $16\text{mm}$ ) hexagonal base to snap into Convi or Super Clamps, ending in a lockable receiver socket pre-loaded with a solid brass Baby pin. (Note: This rental package covers the extension arm and brass stud only; base grip clamps are available for rent separately.)

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Kupo KS-195 Extension Arm (Length: 19.5cm) is an essential, highly adaptable mid-range structural extension utility designed for commercial cinematographers, studio gaffers, and content creators, making it a heavily utilized asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered to provide precise physical separation where a light fixture, external monitor, or wireless array would sit too close to a support base, this rigid aluminum and steel arm offers an immediate rigging solution for dense, complex sets.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced corporate video projects, tabletop product setups, or live-stream broadcasting inside Hong Kong production studios, eliminating gear clutter and achieving fine angle adjustments is critical. The KS-195 features a multi-utility structural design: one end incorporates a standard anti-twist hexagonal base that clicks into standard Convi Clamps, while the extension shaft terminates in a lockable 5/8-inch ( $16\text{mm}$ ) receiver socket. Pre-loaded with a removable solid brass baby stud, it allows crews to offset and manipulate field monitors, portable LED panels, or microphone arrays smoothly with absolute mechanical rigidity.

Applicable Scenarios:

Offsetting Field Monitors via Super Clamps: Snaps directly into Convi clamps locked onto light stands inside studios in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to push directors’ or client monitors out into clear view.
Low-Profile Corporate Interview Accents: Clamps onto vertical auto-poles or architectural pillars inside tight office boardrooms in Central to extend compact fill lights or wireless video transmitters safely.
Surgical Over-the-Shoulder Camera Rigging: Pairs with specialized grip gear to float secondary action cams, portable audio recorders, or micro-prompters precisely past framing lines.

Rigid 19.5cm Anti-Twist Extension Profile: Solid structural aluminum core rod maximizes mechanical rigidity, completely eliminating sagging or flexing under recommended load parameters.
Faceted Hexagonal Base Insertion: Standard geometric bottom profile locks flush into super clamp sockets, entirely blocking rotational slippage under cantilevered offset weight.
Lockable 5/8-Inch (16mm) Multi-Receiver: Features an integrated terminal socket with an ergonomic locking wing knob, accepting standard baby pins and accessories seamlessly.
Removable Solid Brass Baby Pin Stud: Arrives pre-configured with a dual-ended brass spigot, providing instant utility for photo and cinema mounting threads.
Stealth Matte Black Hardened Finish: Black powder-coated anodized treatment minimizes specular glares and unwanted reflections under high-intensity continuous light streams.

Kupo KS-195 Extension Arm (19.5cm Length) x 1
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone extension arm and brass spigot only. Convi clamps, super clamps, vertical light stands, universal grip heads, and production gear are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

Q: Is the base super clamp, vertical light stand, or monitor bracket included inside this rental package?
A: No, it is not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone Kupo KS-195 extension arm and its included brass stud only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own grip clamps on set or wish to configure a custom rigging layout. If you require a complete operational setup, please remember to add a matching super clamp (Convi Clamp) or robust C-Stand to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
Q: Can this 19.5cm extension arm handle a full-frame mirrorless camera rig safely?
A: While the Kupo KS-195 is manufactured from high-strength aluminum and solid steel capable of supporting loads up to $4\text{kg}$ safely, it is engineered primarily for production accessories like field monitors, continuous LED panels, wireless transmitters, and microphone arrays. For mounting heavy camera bodies, we always recommend utilizing dedicated steel camera brackets, magic arms, or fluid heads to ensure total on-set safety.
Q: What is the benefit of the hexagonal shaft shape compared to a standard round extension rod?
A: Standard round extension rods can spin or slide inside a clamp socket when subjected to uneven horizontal weight, causing your gear to sag or tilt. The Kupo KS-195 features a fully faceted hexagonal base and terminal receptor layout; this geometric shape physically locks against the internal walls of your super clamp, completely preventing rotational twisting even when supporting offset, heavy cantilevered accessories.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
