The Infinity Arm is equipped with a bunch of attachments that will allow you to quickly switch different accessories or un-mount the arm with the push of a button. The mechanism releases the ball tips when the arm has been loosened.

It’s great that we start to see more and more products developed by filmmakers for filmmakers released on the market today. Many of the existing established products has a lot of flaws and/or are too expensive. Thus, independent products such as the Infinity Arm could contribute even more to filmmakers community by being not only an affordable alternative, but serious competition of the well-known products on the market as well.
