Versatile 2-Section Articulated Arm

The Manfrotto 196B-2 is a 2-section single articulated arm with bracket designed for photographers and videographers who need flexible positioning in tight or awkward spaces. It supports cameras, lights, monitors, or microphones up to 3.3 lbs at full extension. The sliding extension system allows precise angle adjustments for challenging shooting scenarios. Its high-quality aluminum construction ensures long-lasting durability under rigorous use.

Replaces 2935 Articulated Arm

This model serves as a superior replacement for the 2935 Articulated Arm, offering enhanced versatility and adaptability with its two-section design. The upgrade is worth it when you require a secure locking mechanism that prevents slippage during shoots. A 5/8" spigot at the base ensures compatibility with Superclamp accessories for stable mounting. An additional 1/4" thread expands connection options for a wider range of equipment.

Sustained Load Stability

Under sustained load, the reliable locking system firmly holds gear in place at the maximum 23.8 inch reach without drift or slippage. The robust aluminum frame maintains structural integrity during extended shooting sessions. The arm's design provides consistent performance when supporting the full 3.3 lb capacity over long periods. It delivers stable, consistent support for lighting fixtures and monitors throughout demanding productions.
