Manfrotto Magic Arm Kit

Product Information

Magic arms are versatile and robust filmmaking tools. You wouldn’t of a magic arm as one of the first tools you should consider buying once your ideal setup is complete, but it’s a vital accessory for solo filmmakers. The PixaPro Super Photography Magic Arm is a versatile articulated aluminium support arm with three moving joints that enables you to position a camera, lighting fixture or accessory in any position within seconds with the turn of a single hand wheel.

In this article, we will explain what a magic arm is and why it is such a valuable tool. We’re also going to look at some of the best options today. We’ll even explore some traditional and not-so-traditional, usage scenarios. This way, on your next shoot, you can be prepared with the best magic arm possible. Because magic arms typically feature an ultra-versatile ¼ twenty-thread mount, they can secure almost anything with that mount. One of my favorite non-traditional usages that I’ve seen is to use the magic arm to mount a small, wide-angle B-camera, conveniently rigged onto your A-camera to grab an additional shot and angle. For example, let’s say you’re filming a feature or short on a super short schedule with a limited budget. Then, you have a scene that requires two-camera coverage. Your A-cam would grab your main angle and be the main focus of the scene. Then, a small B-cam could be mounted directly onto your main camera with a wide-angle lens to grab an additional shot—basically, a two-for-one special. Functional and practical, the Magic Arm Kit is an essential part of any photographer’s or content creator’s kit. Made to the highest quality Italian standards, the tough and hard wearing aluminium material makes this all in one solution a highly dependable accessory. There are so many options for magic arms and their modularity aspect, so you can replace and customize them to your liking, making them work with whatever setup is needed.

The Heavy-Duty Magic arm can withhold a weight capacity up to 3kg It's the perfect tool for photographers and filmmakers alike, allowing them to mount equipment safely and securely. Kondor Blue has a great selection of additional accessories for the magic arm pro, giving you options to get the most out of the arm unit. Die Kamera schwebt nun ,Dank Stativ, über meinen Pc Monitor (27") und schaut mir frech beim Pc spielen zu. Ein Punkt wäre natürlich eine Frechheit, (es sind mindestens fünf) denn dieser Magic Arm ist so stabil, das ich meine Kamera samt schwerem Monitor dranngehängt habe. Es hält Bombenfest am Tisch. Wer Qualität sucht ist hier genau richtig.

One of the studs feature a female 1/4” and the other one features a female 3/8” thread which enables you to mount lights and other accessories to the arm, as well as attaching the arm to clamps etc. It’s a pretty standard-looking magic arm with all the standard features you’d expect, with little frills and additions. Manfrotto has consistently produced high-quality products through my experience working with their tripods and mounting units in the past, and I’m sure the standard will also be kept here. Their articulating arms allow you to position these accessories anywhere on your camera rig that seems fit. Through their robust construction, they can hold and secure what you need for as long as necessary. Das Teil ist leider so gut, dass ich mir sofort ein zweites bestellen musste, Mein Geldbörsel ist deshalb leer und deshalb hätte es von mir nur einen Punkt gegeben. Ha Ha. :-)Bei einer schmalen Kamera kann man auf der Topplatte einen zusätzlichen Zapfen (Spigot) für ein Microfon anbringen.
