As my brain is wired for how a traditional arm works, I did find myself initially undoing the lever all the time to adjust the monitor position.
I must admit it that using the Titan Arm did take a bit of time to get used to.
I’ve been road testing the Titan Arm over the last few weeks with a Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+. When locked off, the monitor can still be pivoted and the arm can be disassembled so you can fix it yourself, in the unlikely event that anything breaks.

The beauty of the self-supporting design, is that when the arm is loosened for positioning, it will stay in place, even with a full 8kg mounted on it. The Titan Arm is a self-supporting and pivoting unit, designed to take a payload of up to 8kg. Instead of having to use both hands and undo a latch to re position a monitor, what if you could adjust it by just moving the monitor? Well that is exactly what Bright Tangerine have done with the Titan Arm. Locking off a monitor arm in a fixed position isn’t difficult, but as soon as you have to adjust it you need to loosen the lever, hold the monitor with your other hand, move it, and then lock it off again.Īs shooters we are constantly adjusting the camera and that means we then have to move a monitor so it is in the best possible position for viewing. As everyone knows using a arm to support and adjust monitors and other accessories such as top lights is always a fiddly and time consuming process. Still, to this day it remains one of the most useful products I own and I couldn’t imagine working with out it.Īt this year’s NAB show I saw two more products that I instantly knew would make my day to day shooting easier, the first being the Bright Tangerine Titan Arm. At NAB a few years ago Sachtler showed the Speed Level Clamp, that loosens a tripod head position when you squeeze the handles and sets the head in place the moment you release the squeeze. As gear enthusiasts we spend a lot of time drooling over the latest cameras, lenses, drones, and gimbals, but the things I get excited about the most are products that I use on a daily basis that make my job easier.
