Impact

The Adjustable Pole with Socket and Fixed Ends from Impact is a handy accessory with uses far in excess of its original purpose of creating a short support for the backlight stand's base. The pole is adjustable from 20 to 34" for use as a microphone pole or a mobile light or flash support that can be handheld by an assistant. At one end of the pole is a fixed 5/8" stud that is compatible with most 5/8" receivers. It also has a 3/8"-16 male thread for greater mounting flexibility. The other end of the pole has a reversible, removable 5/8" stud with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 male threads to attach to gear with matching sockets. Removing the stud converts the bottom of the stand into a 5/8" receiver that, since it's compatible with most stands' studs, allows you to use the pole as a light stand extension. A clever feature of the receiver is an additional 5/8" receptacle in the receiver's side, allowing stand mounting horizontally as a mini boom to hold reflectors or lightweight gear.Height Adjustable Originally used in Impact's backlight stand base, the pole is also an asset as a microphone pole, light stand extension, mini boom, and portable light stand in the hands of an assistant.Multiple Mounting Options The 5/8" receiver can be used in vertical or horizontal orientation to serve as a light stand extension or mini boom to hold reflectors and other lightweight items.5/8" Studs The 5/8" fixed stud is compatible with most stands or other accessories with a 5/8" receiver. The pole also has a 3/8"-16 male threads for further attachment flexibility. The stud at the other end of the pole is reversible with 1/4"-20 male threads at one end and 3/8"-16 male threads at the other. The stud is also removable, creating a 5/8" receiver that accepts most stands' 5/8" stud.
