Variable Friction Arm

A black adjustable articulating arm with two locking joints and three shiny silver connectors at each end, used for mounting or positioning devices like cameras or lights.

The Manfrotto 244N Variable Friction Arm is one of the most popular arms made by Manfrotto! Often called a Magic Arm the 244N is used for lights, camera, and audio applications and is the industry standard for most remote rigging applications. The 244N Variable Friction Arm uses a central friction locking handle to lock all 3 points of the arm in place. The length of the arm is 53 cm/20.87 inches and is capable of holding loads up to 3 kg/6.6 lb. Typically the 244 arm is mounted on a Super Clamp but you can also mount it to light stands and other accessories such as wall plates by using the baby 16 mm/ 5/8 inch pin on either end of the arm. The baby pins on each end of the arms also have a 9.53 mm/ 3/8 inch thread receiver or a 6.35 mm/ 1/4 inch threaded receiver. The remote mounting possibilities of this versatile tool are endless!
