Manfrotto 244N, Variable Friction Arm Los

It certainly is better than the original for the purpose of holding light or other accessory in a particular position. I have the original and was using it to hold a studio strobe in an awkward place. The locking lever of the original was too difficult to swing through its arc to the lock position where I needed it to be. This is perfect!

I use these to support monitors, stabilize my slider, hang small LED lights over table tops. Easy to adjust and stay where you lock them.

Sehr flexibel, gut Qualität von Manfrotto, schwer, aber ein must-have für dein video und photo Hobby

ich bin ein Freund von Manfrotto - und dieser Magic Arm ist wirklich klasse :-) Funktioniert tadellos und mittels Clamp lässt sich der gut befestigen

Nicely constructed arm, holds itself strongly in position. I'm primarily using it to attach a ring flash to my tripod leg, but it seems like it could hold something much heavier with little problem.
