Robust Steel Shaft Construction
The Westcott Zeppelin Mounting Arm uses a robust steel center shaft paired with brushed aluminum brackets for durable yet lightweight studio support. It is built for photographers and videographers who need a reliable single-stand solution for positioning a Zeppelin softbox. The design removes the requirement for multiple stands or boom arms during a session. This arm suits professionals seeking precise lighting control without heavy rigging.
Durable Materials for Studio Use
The steel shaft and aluminum brackets provide structural rigidity that resists flex during frequent repositioning in demanding environments. No moving parts such as fans or motors are present, so the arm operates silently and draws no power. Heat generation is not a factor because the unit contains no electrical components. Its mechanical simplicity means thermal load and noise remain irrelevant to daily operation.
Separate Adapter Rings Required
The arm accepts 3500-series Westcott adapter rings sold separately, which expand compatibility to various lighting fixtures beyond the Zeppelin softbox. A padded grip handle allows comfortable, effortless repositioning of the mounted light during a shoot. The adjustable design lets users vary light spread and intensity by changing the arm angle. Without the optional adapter rings, mounting options stay limited to the native Zeppelin connection.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the Zeppelin arm to a single light stand without wobble?
Slide the brushed aluminium bracket onto the stand spigot, tighten the locking knob fully, then lock the steel centre shaft in place before hanging the softbox so the arm cannot pivot loose.
What wear items should I expect to replace over time?
The locking knob threads and the padded grip sleeve are the only contact surfaces that degrade; both are standard 3500-series parts and can be swapped without tools.
At what point does the arm start to droop under a heavy Zeppelin softbox?
With a fully loaded large softbox the steel centre shaft shows visible deflection once the centre of gravity extends beyond the bracket, so keep the load centred and add a counter-weight if you push the reach.
