Tether Tools 2 Head Rock Solid Cross Bar Side Arm

Here’s a detailed summary of the Tether Tools Rock Solid 2‑Head Cross Bar Side Arm (Model: RSTAA2), along with specs, pros/cons, and pricing/availability—especially for India/Bengaluru. If you want, I can also pull up sellers nearby.

🔧 What It Is / What It Does

• The RSTAA2 Side Arm is designed to work with the Rock Solid Tripod Cross Bar to form what Tether Tools calls a “T‑Setup.” That means you can have a cross bar mounted horizontally, and this side arm gives you vertical adjustability (up & down) for a mounted camera or accessory.

• It has two mounting points—one on top and one on bottom—so you can mount gear at different angles / heights. Design Info+2B&H Photo Video+2

📏 Key Specifications

✅ Pros & Use‑Cases

• Great for step and repeat photoshoots, school portraits, or events: you can adjust camera height without moving the table/workstation. Robert's Camera+2Tanotis+2

• Helps keep your tethered workstation (laptop/computer) at a steady height while you adjust the camera, because the cross bar stays fixed. Adorama+1

• Lightweight-ish for what it does, especially with the carry bag. Good for mobile/studio hybrid sets. Design Info+1

⚠️ Limitations / Things to Beware

• Balance is key. The load capacity (18 lbs) is only safe if you balance the mounted gear properly, or else there’s risk of tipping or stressing your tripod/cross bar. B&H Photo Video+1

• The mechanism to slide up/down may be a little stiff (some buyers complained about smoothness). If used frequently, that might matter in terms of speed. Robert's Camera

• Size / portability: while it comes with a carry bag, the arm is long (24″), so transporting may need care.
