Max Menace Arm
In recent years, Matthews has shipped the MAX MENACE ARM worldwide, earning rave reviews from industry professionals. Teaming up with Hollywood Key Grip Mr. Richard Mall, Matthews Studio Equipment submitted MAX for the prestigious Technical Achievement Award, a proud moment in our legacy of innovative technology.
This well-deserved recognition highlights MAX's capabilities, as it can effortlessly support lighting fixtures weighing up to 175 pounds (80kg), facilitating versatile placement options on set. Whether for backlights, over set walls, or in challenging locations such as rooftops and balconies where traditional lifts may not reach, MAX proves invaluable. With the ability to support a 75lb (34kg) light fixture up to 17.5ft (533cm) horizontally and over 20ft (609cm) vertically, MAX offers unprecedented flexibility. Its horizontal plane can be adjusted within a range of 7-10ft (213-305cm), while at an extension of 8ft (244cm), it maintains a robust capacity of 175lbs (80kg). MAX can be easily counterbalanced using shot or sandbags, and with the incorporation of standard weight plates, it can be effortlessly maneuvered on flat, level surfaces.
