Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this fit on a C stand?MICHAEL K : I don't know. I mounted mine to an old Pentax copy stand that had a plywood base so it was pretty easy for my application. My base is about a foot and a half square.JOSEPH E : Yes, as long as you have a topper that will hold a 5/8" spigot or a topper that is a 1/4" male thread.Nik L : It needs a super clamp or dual female adapter to connect with the C stand
Candice s : So I have to buy a clamp to attach to my tripod? I want to record demonstrations - mostly seeing my hands on a tabletop.RICHARD W : I use the Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp without Stud (#035) to clamp on to my tripod, then I connect the articulated arm to the Super Clamp.
TimCloud T : I am looking at the Manfrotto 196B-2 2-Section Single Articulated Arm with Bracket. I am looking for something that will attach to my standard tripod and allow me to extend my camera out over a product to take a "straight down" photo. Will this item do that? Thanks.JIM B : The Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction Magic Arm w/3299 Quick Release (#2929QR) would be much better product.NANCY Y : I also bought a Manfrotto 035RL Super Clamp with 2908 Standard Stud and use it to attach a table, not a tripod.BILL S : Yes it will. One problems is that if your camera is heavy it will tend to sag. You will have to have a Manfrotto 035 clamp to be able to attach to a tripod.ANDREW R : Unfortunately no, this unit is designed to fit on a light stand not a tripod.

Rated 5 out of 5

Absolutely Perfect for my needs.

I got this to hold my Canon T6 above my desk while I'm drawing so I could either stream or record. Very adjustable. Strong sturdy joints that won't move when tightened. Minimal. So long as the joints don't wear loose the product is truly 5 stars and exceeded my expectations

Great item

The articulating arm along with the clamp have been a much needed add on not only for my lighting but for holding a secondary camera when needed. Only wish I would of bought this sooner.

Strong and Flexible

This full-size articulated arm was purchased to replaced the smaller version, which is not strong enough to hold my 7" external HD video monitor to my tripod leg.

Well built unit

I used this to hold up an LED panel that weighed just over 3 pounds and the arm had no problem holding it up at its fully extended reach. All the joints held very tight and it is adjustable in any direction you want. Quality built unit.
