NovoFlex 18" Flexible Arm with Ball Head Socket and Hot Shoe

SKU CH-M5NC-JYY9X

An 18" flexible arm extends macro flash reach with a ball head socket and hot shoe for versatile positioning

  • Extends macro flash reach with 18" flexible arm
  • Delivers near wrap-around lighting for detailed macro shots
  • Reduces unwanted reflections and flare in still life work
  • Creates 2:1 lighting ratio to add depth
  • Ball head socket plus hot shoe enable versatile flash positioning

Macro Flash Reach Extension

The 18" flexible arm extends the working distance of macro flash units for close-up and still-life photography. It positions light sources at angles that rigid brackets cannot reach, giving photographers finer control over illumination on small subjects.

Stable Heavy Build

The arm’s weight provides a steady platform that resists vibration during long exposures or focus stacking. Its rigid construction holds the flash in place without sagging, keeping lighting consistent across multi-shot sequences.

Ball Head Socket and Hot Shoe Mount

A small ball head socket allows quick directional adjustment of the attached flash, while the integrated hot shoe secures compatible units without extra adapters. This combination lets users reposition light rapidly between shots.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 18" Flexible Arm to my camera's hot shoe and position the macro flash?

Slide the arm's hot shoe foot into the camera's accessory shoe and tighten the locking wheel; then mount the macro flash onto the small ball head socket at the arm's far end and adjust the angle by loosening and re-tightening the ball head's knob.

What parts of the 18" Flexible Arm may wear out or need replacement after extended use?

The flexible arm's internal segmented joints can lose tension over time, reducing their ability to hold position, and the ball head's locking knob or hot shoe foot may loosen with repeated mounting and dismounting.

What is the first limitation I will hit when using the 18" Flexible Arm for long macro sessions?

The arm's own weight and the 18" length create leverage that can cause gradual droop under a heavy macro flash, requiring frequent readjustment of the ball head to maintain the desired lighting angle.
