Spring Arm ACT2 Carbon / 19kg -(41,8 lbs)

Replacing the aluminum “bones” of the ACT2 spring arm with the ultra light, rigid and torsion-free carbon fiber “bones” caused additional weight reduction of another 500 gr. / 1.10 lbs.

The ultra lightweight design of the artemis ACT2 carbon spring arm, enables high-speed operating and longer-lasting takes.
Carbon is used more and more often in modern aircraft construction, and in the field of racing car construction the use of carbon has been the standard since many years. But our main reason was to further cut down on weight. The carbon version of the spring arm weights another 500 grams less than the aluminum version.
Based on the special experiences of our suppliers, we are able to produce carbon parts in series now. New production methods provide high reliability and safety for the products and replace manual lamination that is a quite unreliable production method.
The aluminum arm is already an unbelievably quick and agile arm, but the carbon version is even better. Operators who shoot many sport shows or must walk fast or run while shooting for other reasons will appreciate the arm’s light weight and the fact that it stays in steady position during fast movements.
Additionally, we also improved many little details within the new spring arm.
The ACT2 carbon version is based on the ACT2 aluminum spring arm and offers of course the same technical features and functions.
The new turnover mechanism of the mating block can be adapted to the preferred operating side in an extremely quick and safe manner. Another new feature of the new ACT2 arm is the possibility to adjust the angle between the arm and the operator’s body more freely.
The mating block is 3 millimeters higher now; this allows a steeper angle adjustment.

But despite this modification the arm still fits into vests of other manufacturers and offers also with their vests more possibilities to adjust the angle between the arm and the operator’s body.
