Versatile Attachment Options
The Manfrotto 196B-2 features baby pins on both ends that make attachment to 5/8\" receivers and Super Clamps easy, and the pins are threaded with 1/4\" and 3/8\" sockets for various accessories. -
High Flexibility
Three adjustment elbows provide flexibility to position the arm at nearly any angle or position. -

Strong and Reliable

Compact and Portable
Light enough to fit in a camera bag, it is a great solution for on-the-go setups, easily replacing light stands in many situations.
-
Limited Load Capacity
Not suitable for heavy devices like DSLRs or large light heads, effectively making it a light-duty arm. -
Plastic Components
The Technopolymer butterfly joints do not feel as solid or smooth as those on the Magic Arm and may not be as quick to adjust. -
Not Long Enough
Some users found the arm to be shorter than expected, making it less ideal for longer reach applications. -
Requires Additional Purchases
You need a Manfrotto Super Clamp to attach it to surfaces like table tops or shelves, which is an additional expense. -
Less Convenient Than Magic Arm
Adjusting the articulated arm is more cumbersome compared to the easier and more intuitive adjustments available with a Magic Arm. -
Higher Price
Though high quality, the price is considered slightly high, especially when compared to cheaper alternatives, albeit less reliable ones.
