Godox AB30SS Ball Joint Arm

The Godox AB30SS is a 15.4-inch adjustable arm built for photographers and videographers who need precise positioning of lights or accessories. Its robust construction handles frequent use in demanding studio or location environments. The secure ball joint design prevents unwanted movement once locked.

Universal 5/8in stud and 3/8in-16 thread

Each end provides a 5/8" stud and a 3/8"-16 female thread for direct mounting of compatible lights, monitors, or accessories without extra adapters. The lever-knob mechanism allows quick tension adjustment for smooth repositioning. This hardware bundle removes the need for separate mounting plates in many setups.

Supports equipment up to 16 kg

The arm is rated to hold gear weighing up to 16 kg, giving headroom for heavier LED panels or monitors. Builders needing more reach than the 15.4-inch length provides will require an extension solution. Loads exceeding the 30 kg safety threshold are not supported by this model.

Questions about this item

Will the lever-knob mechanism or ball joint need periodic tightening or lubrication to keep the arm stable?

The arm uses a lever-knob to clamp the ball joint; no scheduled lubrication is mentioned, but the knob can be re-tightened if the joint loosens after heavy daily use.

At what load does the 5/8" stud or 3/8"-16 thread become the limiting factor during a full-day shoot?

The manufacturer rates the arm for a maximum load of 16 lb, so that is the first limit reached before the studs or threads yield under sustained weight.

Does the aluminium arm get hot or draw power when lights stay mounted on it all day?

The arm is a passive metal bracket with no electronics, so it generates no heat and consumes no power regardless of how long the attached lights run.
