Comments about Manfrotto 143BKT Camera Platform for Magic Arm:
This is a must have for the Magic Arm, and the price is right. There aren't many things you can by for [$]. I am currently using this to secure a monitor, but I plan on using it for a small POV camera.

I use this for many applications, but most often to support an 8 inch field monitor on video shoots. Its supported by a manfrotto arm off my tripod.
A no thrills item that works as advertised.

I used this to mount a camera and a magic arm to a basketball goal to get a different angle of view during a basketball tournament. I works great. I am looking forward to other applications for a remote camera.

Comments about Manfrotto 143BKT Camera Platform for Magic Arm:
I use this with the two below items to make a portable, compact, covert travel tripod. You can take it into places the conventional tripod isn't allowed. Also small enough to fit in a small camera bag to setup a tripod for low level shooting. Many applications that you can use this on.
Good idea to pick these two with this:
