Very easy to Over torque

This particular arm is very easy to over torque and then requires rebuilding (complicated!) I would highly recommend the lever version.

Bogen - Manfrotto Variable Friction Arm

I'm not using it with a tripod as I'm trying it with a spotting scope for a shooting bench

Articulating Extension Arm

I bought the Manfrotto Variable Friction (Articulating) Arm to attach to my Vanguard Multi Mount Tripod boom arm so that I can mount flash units on either side of the camera position, to provide multi-directional lighting on macro subjects. I believe it is also durable enough to mount a camera and extend it beyond the reach of the multi mount boom arm (assuming the use of counter-weights). With a super clamp it can be attached to other objects at the scene for lighting, or reflector support.

Versitile tool

The Variable Friction Arm allows the positioning of equipment in what might otherwise be inconvenient or impossible places. By attaching the arm to clamps (sold separately), the photographer is able to place equipment attached to poles, railings, door frames, edges of tables... basically anything you can clamp onto! Can be used for remote cameras, strobes, etc.
