Sirui HA-77 Horizontal Arm

Sirui HA-77 Horizontal Arm

The HA-77 Horizontal Arm from Sirui is a telescoping cross arm that can be combined with a tripod or stand to create a miniature camera boom. Its total 30.3` of length is provided by a two-section tube that rests on top of a tripod head, which features 360° of independent rotation. The tube and the head are connected by a fulcrum, which enables 90° of upwards or downwards tilt that can be locked into place. This allows an attached camera to be easily raised toward an elevated subject or over a scene. For subjects along the ground, the HA-77 Horizontal Arm can be used to obtain low angles while its user stands comfortably behind the camera.

This horizontal arm has a load capacity of 11 lb and is compatible with tripods or support systems that feature a 3/8`-16 mount. Thumbscrew locks are positioned on the HA-77 Horizontal Arm`s tripod head, fulcrum, and the clamp that holds its telescoping, two-section tube on the fulcrum. By loosening each of these thumbscrew locks, the tripod head can be swiveled, the fulcrum tilted, and the two-section tube pushed toward or pulled away from the subject. Additionally, a twist lock on the two-section tube allows for rapid deployment of its second section.

To precisely position and extend the two-section tube, its first section features clearly visible hatch marks engraved at 0.5cm intervals from 0-30cm, the second section includes hatch marks along its length from 0-27cm that are also engraved at 0.5cm intervals, while the fulcrum`s 90° upwards or downwards tilt can be set according to 10° intervals. For use as a miniature boom, the front end of the HA-77 Horizontal Arm on the two-section tube`s second section includes a flat plate with a reversible mount that can accommodate a camera or tripod head with a 3/8`-16 or 1/4`-20 female accessory thread. At the rear end of the horizontal arm on the two-section tube`s first section, a removable foam-padded handle with a ballast hook provides a secure and comfortable grip as well as the ability to counterbalance any items placed at the front of the horizontal arm.

Alternatively, the HA-77 Horizontal Arm can be used to adapt multiple devices to a single tripod or stand. By obtaining a second flat plate with a reversible mount from Sirui that can be substituted for the foam-padded handle, a camera or tripod head can be placed on both sides of the horizontal arm. With a ball head on both sides of the HA-77 Horizontal Arm, a configuration of two parallel cameras, or a single camera that is parallel to a different device can be created. When the HA-77 Horizontal Arm is used with its foam-padded handle, a camera that is placed toward the end of two-section tube`s reversible mount can be positioned perpendicular to the tripod or stand which the horizontal arm is attached to. The camera can then be extended past the tripod or stand`s legs, which is particularly useful for copy stand or macro photography of subjects directly below the camera lens.
