Video review of the new Fourth Arrow Camera arm. This model is the Carbon fiber version, which is the lightest of the three options that Fourth Arrow sells. They also have an aluminum option, and a "Stiff Arm" which is also aluminum, but quite a bit beefier for heavy professional setups. There are three really unique selling points. The first is the carbon fiber arm. The second is the compact base and leveling shoulder, which easily fits in a pack. The bases can also be bought for as low as $25 each for the people who want to put one in all of their permanent set-ups. The third big selling point is the leveling system, which offers an incredible amount of adjustment, and is very fast. The total weight of the arm (including ratchet but without optional video head) is less than 5 pounds.
