LitePad Swivel Arm — ball-and-socket positioning for LitePads
A ball-and-socket arm for precise positioning of LitePads. Female 5/8" one end, female 1/4"-20 the other — so it sits on a stand stud and takes a 1/4"-20 bolt. 222 mm long, 2.5 kg max. load.

What it is — and what it isn’t
Use it for
- LitePads within 2.5 kg, with a 1/4"-20 bolt bracket
- Light stands with a 5/8" stud
- LitePad Loop with the Light Stand Plate
Don’t use it for
- The 24" x 24" LitePad — over the 2.5 kg max. load
- Hardware needing a male 5/8" pin — this arm has female ends

Getting the best result
- Fit the female 5/8" end over the stand’s stud and tighten.

Common questions
Which LitePads does the Swivel Arm fit?
Rosco says it allows precise positioning of all LitePads, connecting via the 1/4"-20 bolt on LitePad and Axiom brackets. The 24" x 24" model exceeds its 2.5 kg max. load, so it isn’t suitable for that size.
What does it connect to?
Female 5/8" one end (light stand studs) and female 1/4"-20 the other (1/4"-20 bolts such as the Axiom 1/4"-20 Bracket).
Can I use it with the LitePad Loop?
Yes — Rosco notes the Loop Light Stand Plate’s 1/4"-20 screw attaches to a swivel arm and then to a light stand.
How long is it?
8.75" (222 mm).
