Shop the Manfrotto 196AB-2 Articulated Arm. Durable, adjustable, and stable, it supports up to 3.3 lbs. Compact storage. Order yours today!

The two-section 196AB-2 articulated arm supports 3.3 lbs at full extension and weighs less than 1 lb. It also benefits from the extra versatility given by the sliding extension system which allows easier positioning of lighting fixtures even in awkward and tight spaces.  Maximum Length is 23.8 inches, and the bottom 5/8" spigot (compatible with the Superclamp), also has a 1/4" thread. 

Its an extra arm. That's very useful. Main reason I got it was to make a mini boom out of a light stand. Just throw it on a light stand and now I have way more flexibility in positioning my speedlights.

very useful

Nice Little arm

Does exactly what I want it to do but adjusting the arms is a bit tedious because I have to almost completely unscrew the butterfly thumb screw in order to make an adjustment. The parts just don't move very freely unless completely loosened.

Great extension arm, very lightweight and will easily hold above the rated weight.

Can you mount a speedlight on this arm - 

Yes you can. One end of the arm will go into the Manfrotto  Super Clamp. On the other end you need to keep a double male thread stud   called Manfrotto 037 Camera Mounting Stud. This has a 3/8" thread  on one side and 1/4" thread on the other, both male.  You can screw the 3/8" end of the stud into the spigot of the arm. On the other side  of the stud you can screw a shoe with a 1/4" female thread. Sometimes you won't even need the shoe  since some manufacturers  like Nikon for e.g. supply a foot which has a 1/4" female thread on it along with speedlights.

Hope this helps.

For holding speedlights and reflectors

I struggled with placement of my small soft-box in some cases until I got mine.  It works great!
