Securing protective bumpers on PRO Arm elbows
12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The factory-installed rubber bumpers on PRO Arm elbows often fail to adhere properly and slide out of position during use.
- Black gaffers tape can be wrapped around the elbow joint as a simple padding solution that stays in place effectively.
- Two-inch adhesive-backed velcro with soft side facing outward provides durable padding that can be easily replaced and has long-lasting adhesive performance.
- Adhesive-backed tapered bumpers with larger surface area than original equipment may provide better adhesion due to increased contact area.
- Velcro soft side padding allows for cable management along the arm when needed by securing cables with corresponding hard side velcro strips.
Depends on
- The discussion does not indicate whether tested solutions were validated on actual productions or equipment.
- No information on whether the PRO Arm model year affects bumper attachment issues.
- The gaffers tape solution appears informal and may not provide padding equivalent to purpose-designed bumpers.
