Hollywood based camera rental company and production house, 27 Notch has designed a new cine arm, that combines ease-of-use with the versatility to be able to use it not only for GoPros, but for procams, lighting, monitors or virtually anything with a 1/4′ 20 screw.
The Infinity Arm uses a traditional cine arm design but incorporates a rosette locking system and 360° rotatable and interchangeable ball-tipped ends, which allows for a quick release to add or remove accessories.

Co-Creator Arron Nelson says, “I have worked with many clients from DP’s to camera assistants and they always complained about the current Cine Arms, so we decided to create our own.” We love that kind of innovative thinking!

Nelson said, “The Infinity Arm was created to be the one-stop cine arm taking the best of current arms on the market and putting it into one. We strongly believe in our product and hope that it will help others.”
The makers have entered the manufacturing stages and is the arm is available for pre-order on Kickstarter. Of course, that all depends on if they hit their goal.
