Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket - Replaces 2929
Customer Review: Not 'Magic', put pretty darned cool
Summary: 5 Stars
There are two studs on ball joints on either end of the arm. When the knob is turned counter-clockwise, the ball joints and the center 'elbow' all loosen. The loosing is gradual, so it won't suddenly collapse. Once you have it set, turn the knob clockwise and all the movable joints tighten. I was a little leery of hanging my DSLR in the air, but this arm locks up pretty solidly.
Now I have a set point on my macro table for mounting the camera. Since focus and view angle is so critical in macro work, my tripod is a bit of a nuisance. This makes life a whole bunch more simpler. :)
The arm and clamp combo are also being used where tripods are not permitted/practical but where a solid mount point (e.g.fence post) is available.
Construction is solid, fit and finish are excellent and the usage is intuitive.
The Superclamp in the photos is not included, but unless you already have a mounting strategy figured out, you'll need one.
Quick edit: The knob on mine was fully assembled and there were no missing parts. Maybe they read the previous reviews.
