I use the 131DDB along with a 131DB for a tethering setup as well as unconventional tripod angles. It's sturdy and versatile.

This is a great addition to my tripod and has made it a lot more versatile in the ways i can set it up and use it. I also purchased the other Manfrotto arm and both together are unbelievably useful.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

This is great for when you need to mount two cameras on one head. The piece is very well made, solid. The only thing I would change is that the middle piece is a little wide so the cameras (I was using 5D's) can't get as close as I would have liked.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I've been using this for mounting two and three cameras on. Really easy to use. Great construction. Stable. Glad I went with this one over other brands that were less expensive. Fits my Manfrotto heads tripods and acessories.

The Arm worked wonderfully at my shoot. I had a laptop platform and a camera on one tripod. It's a great set up for still video or product photography!

I had no problems with it, but it feels like the product is a bit dated. Handles could be better designed.

I tether shoot a lot this was the best thing I could have gotten. If you tether shoot or just work with a laptop near by this arm is essential.

This thing is the perfect solution for me shooting tethered, combined with the Gitzo Monitor Platform. Easy to connect to the tripod and extremely steady and professional build quality.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I use this with a Gitzo G065 Monitor Platform when shooting tethered. This has made my life so much easier. And I am more likely to shoot tethered now since it greatly improves my workflow and speed.

I was planning to build such an accessory arm but before I waste my time in my workshop I found this excelent solution from Manfrotto. The only weak link may be the tripod head on which this arm is mounted, thus my recomendation of a heavy duty geared head. I use it in two ways:
- Mounting two similar cameras with exactly the same lenses and settings to capture two simultaneous frames or video clips, which I later blend to view on a 3D monitor. It is easy to set the distance between the two lenses so I can get natural or hiper-3D results. The two cameras can be easily aligned with high precision required by this technique. So, for 3D, it is better not to use other tripod heads between arm and cameras; I use instead two identical panorama plates, so I can position the two cameras with any degree of convergence to shoot close subjects ;-)
- The other use for this arm is for outdoors, mounting up to 4 bodies with different prime lenses to get ready for any event that is rather quick or requires my attention and I would rathes not miss while changing lenses, like sunrise, sunset, twilight or eclipse, or for long exposure night shots. Same way, it is useful for studio or sports, so you can follow the subject with many cameras and different lenses simultaneously.

I use this arm mounted on my tripod to support my camera and computer for tethered shooting. Note: the computer tray is sold separately.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

This is a solid accessory and works great when I have my camera tethered to my Macbook and need to shoot real estate or still life photos. Easy to adjust to get the correct balance between camera and laptop, as well as connect to the tripod in general. I would usually have my laptop only on a tripod and handhold the camera, but there are situations where I like to have both mounted and this does the trick.

I use the Tripod Accessory Arm to shoot tethered. My Macbook Pro 15" is mounted to a Teather Tools Table on the left and the Nikon D7000 is mounted to a ball head on the right. It sits atop a heavy duty carbon tripod and provides a perfectly elegant solution to tethered shooting.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I am using this with a tripod head at one end and a Gitzo G-065 monitor platform at the other. What a treat! Its easy to teather the camera to my laptop and see immediately what the shot looks like. I have the tripod on a wheeled base and can more the entire unit around a subject easily. Well built, easy to use and overalll an excellent choice.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I use the tripod accessory arm to hold my camera on one end and my computer on the other (with the Gitzo computer tray). Considering I have more than a grand hanging off of each end, having a sturdy, high-quality arm is a must. The Manfrotto 131DDB delivers.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I'm using the 131DDB to hold my laptop and camera while shooting tethered. It's strong, no flex. I feel secure using it. You need a heavy duty tripod to handle the weight and balance challenges.

Comments about Manfrotto 131DDB Tripod Accessory Arm for Four Heads (Black):

I use this product primarily to mount two cameras on individual 3-way tripod heads, or directly onto the unit's 3/8" male bases using 3/8" to 1/4" adapters. I could mount two more items on the two ends of the unit. The adjustments are totally free-form, and when you lock them down, they stay locked. The configurations of connected equipment are endless. Well worth the price for a lifetime product.
