The Manfrotto 244N Variable Friction Magic Arm is a full-size articulated arm with a 53 cm (20.9 in) reach and a 3 kg (6.6 lb) payload rating. A single friction lever locks all three joints together, so one movement releases the arm to reposition and one movement locks it solid. It carries more than the Micro arms, making it a workhorse for monitors, lights and cameras on set.
Key Features
- Single-lever locking: One central handle releases and locks all three joints at once for quick, precise repositioning.
- Long reach: Extends to 53 cm, giving plenty of room to place a monitor or light where you need it.
- Versatile attachments: Female 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threads plus 5/8 inch (16 mm) studs fit a wide range of mounts and clamps.
- Higher payload: Rated to 3 kg, handling heavier accessories than the compact Micro arms.
- Superclamp compatible: Works with Manfrotto Super Clamps and other 16 mm stud fittings for flexible rigging.
- Durable build: Aluminium and stainless steel construction for long working life.
- Italian design: Designed and made in Italy to Manfrotto quality standards.
