    I'm finally fed up with my muddy and looking for other options. I'm looking at the 3rd arm pro. Unfortunately it looks like 3rd arm closed shop so I'm going to need to purchAse it from AT or eBay. Are there any other arms our there I should be looking at?

    I have a 3rd Arm Pro Extreme and it is an excellent arm! I will be selling it soon as I plan on upgrading cameras and won't need one as rugged as this. Would definitely buy a 3rd arm again. Super simple setup and rock solid.

    I've used a 3rd arm triple threat filming for a show and loved it compared to my muddy. Only issue is I cannot find a triple threat to buy anywhere

    I believe that Todd has been or was using one for a long time. Not sure if he is still or not.

    I had the 3rd Arm Pro Extreme. It was an excellent arm and was pretty quick and easy to set up. The only draw back was the size and weight. It was a beast to lug around. I sold it when I upgraded to a smaller camera.

    I wanted to go with 3rd Arm, but I believe those guys are out of business. I now have my eyes set on the lightning camera arm...really liking the long reach these arms have.

    Mine are not actually 3rd arm but modeled after them, not exact copies as I have never touched one. I made these three and love them for self filming. There aluminum !
