Scissor type light arms which bolt onto a wall - who does em?

[Deano]

I'm after some scissor type light arms which i have seen in studios which bolt onto walls. They look similar to something which hangs down from the Bowens Hi-glide system but these screw onto the wall and hold a studio light. They save a lot of floor space but i cant find who makes them or where i can buy them. Any ideas please?

I don't know who makes them but Photomart sell them. Personally I find the wall mounted boom arms to be more stable/easier to adjust, especially the ones with worm drive tilt control.

These are 2 that I found when searching. If you search for Pantograph then you may find more as that is what the devices are called. Be warned though it does not come cheap!!

Nearly right Paulmack - what I am fairly sure the op is looking for is Wall Scissor Boom

Studio Decor (Luxs) is the one. Jon is very helpful and they're good quality bits of kit.

Lovely chap, and if you ever have the chance to rent his studio, go for it; he's pretty much the only studio I used when I lived in Dorset. The scissor boom John supplies (assuming it's the same one he has in his show-studio) is rock solid. He also does a telescopic wall mounted boom too.
