Finding replacement Allen key for Pro Arm head

18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Allen key for Pro Arm is a 5/32 inch straight hex type, not ball-end.
  • The same 5/32 inch Allen key size is used to lock and unlock the top stage of a PRO head and to adjust the post and gimbal on older PRO models.
  • Replacement Allen keys of this size can be sourced from electronics distributors or obtained directly from the manufacturer.

Depends on

  • The discussion references older PRO head models; compatibility with current models is not confirmed.
  • Specific supplier availability and pricing information from the original thread may no longer be current.
