Sourcing arm pin offset brackets and understanding pin diameter standards for inverted or low-mode operation.

What the thread found

  • An arm pin offset bracket (also called a versatility bracket or spacer) is used to carry the rig inverted or offset, for example in low mode or to position the volt and yoke grip at a more ergonomic height.
  • Some stabilizer arms have an offset bracket permanently mounted as part of their design.
  • Small aftermarket manufacturers produce offset brackets compatible with various rigs, including options for the Steadicam® Pro Arm.
  • A European small manufacturer offers V-brackets and arm posts (3 and 9 inch lengths) with international 5/8-inch pins, worldwide shipping, and lifetime warranty.
  • The 5/8-inch pin diameter is the international standard for stabilizer arm connections.
  • One operator noted that plastic screws on certain offset models can be replaced with metal fasteners for improved durability.

Depends on

  • Pin diameter must match the rig: 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch sizes are in use, with 5/8-inch being the industry standard.
