Arm section lengths (pivot-center to pivot-center) in PRO, Tiffen, Xarm, and NB models: whether larger boom range derives from longer sections or wider opening angles.
What the thread found
- PRO arm section measures approximately 9 15/16 inches overall length, with pivot-center to pivot-center distance of approximately 9 3/16 inches.
- The NB arm achieves its large range primarily through thinner bones that collapse further, comparing roughly equal or slightly shorter in length than a PRO Titan arm.
- Tiffen G-70 sections are estimated slightly longer than the Titan.
- When measuring arm sections, always measure from pivot-center to pivot-center for consistent comparison.
Depends on
- Exact specifications vary by arm generation and configuration.
