I use Manfrotto arms and clamps for a variety of production purposes and I have never been disappointed. Really solid products!

Comments about Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction Magic Arm with Quick Release Camera Bracket:

We are using this magic arms in a research lab where we often have to mount several cameras in confined spaces. We also need to switch between different camera position setups. The magic arms give us all the flexibility we need for that. Since our cameras are more on the heavy side, we use two arms for each camera to keep them in place which works just fine for us.

Time lapse videos and places where they do not allow tripods.

Very small size and incredibly flexible.
I just wish it was able to hold a bit more weight.

I had another arm before but it has 3 adjustments to control each joint. Since this has one quick release to loose all the joints, this is by far my favorite photo accessory now. Especially useful when you are doing upclose small item photography.

Well worth the money.

Beautifully designed and crafted. Solidly built and easy to use. Adjust to taste at eache end then tighten the ONE wheel and everything locks tight. Brilliant!
Used in conjunction with the Manfrotto 035RL Clamp and it is ready to connect anywhere and very securely too! Great combo for remote camera setup(what i actually bought it for) extra lighting etc, etc...

Bought it for automotive rig photography and this thing is awesome! I've only used it a handful of times since I just got it, but it works very well.

The Magic Arm is amazing! It is everything I hoped for! Helps make taking Macro Pics a cinch! Combined with the Super Clamp this is a close up Photographers dream come true! Just clamp it to a beam, bar or rod, adjust your camera position and tighten the easy to use knob and shoot away!! Would like to see Manfrotto come out with a slightly longer one in the future. Would also like the see the Super Clamp in different sizes so it could grip on wider tables easier. But really those are things that are easy to work around.

I use this arm in tight spaces that require precise and quick adjustment. This arm is perfect!! Perfect for time lapse shooting

Use this for various grip applications on film set. very handy and works as advertised. quite strong too (and beefier than the picture would suggest). Quick release plate makes awkward mounting of DSLRs much easier.

We used this to mount a 8 oz. Thermal Digital camera to give the camera the best adjustabitily and this arm is working perfictly.

I use this product in combination with the Avenger F1000 suction mounts to mount cameras to cars. This thing is pure magic and I don't know what I would do without it. It is strong, rigid and can be contorted into just about any shape/position that I need it.

Only down side is it would be nice if the camera mount was removable so that I could use it for different tasks, such as a mini-boom on a light stand. But no biggie. It's a great product.

I use them to hang remote cameras behind backboards at basketball games. Never had one fail, but don't get overly paranoid and tighten it too much as the ball will crack the clamps on the ends. That's why I'm here ordering another one.
Never had one fail, but I posted a link below to a safety cable, I'd always use one with it. In some places you may have regulations that require it.

I purchased the magic arm along with a super clamp for my wife who is confined to a wheel chair. We both enjoy photography as a retirement hobby. Clamped onto the frame of the chair my wife now has the camera support she increasingly needs to remain an active shutterbug.

I use a wheelchair and need a way to steady the camera and lens. This is the perfect solution! I just clamp the magic arm to the arm of my chair and I have a mobile tripod! I have the freedom to move and frame as needed and quickly! I do pro photography - much of which is at dog show events. Without the magic arm I would not be able to get near as many marketable shots.
