Reach higher with a paint pole

The Westcott Paint Pole Adapter 20 converts a standard painter's extension pole into a versatile boom. It lets you position lights, modifiers, cameras or microphones at elevated heights without a dedicated stand. The adapter suits location shooters and videographers who need a lightweight, portable way to raise gear quickly.

Threaded mounting limits

The top provides a 1/4"-20 female thread for attaching equipment. The bottom uses multiplex 3/4"-5 threads that fit common paint poles. Only devices with a matching 1/4"-20 mount can be secured directly; heavier heads or larger modifiers may require an additional bracket not included here.

Replaces a fixed light stand

This adapter upgrades from a static stand when you need adjustable reach on the move. The jump is worth it for solo creators working in tight spaces or on location where a collapsible pole packs smaller than a stand. It does not suit studio setups demanding rock-solid stability or precise, hands-free height locking.
