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.
