Impact Pivot Arm Overview
Position your lighting or camera gear where you need it with 360° rotation of the pivot arms. Maximum extension is 20".
One baby pin is threaded female 1/4ʺ-20 and the other female 3/8ʺ-16 threaded for flexibility in the type of gear you can mount.
Lock the position of the pivot arms and baby pins simply by twisting the adjustable wheel lock control. Further adjustment to the positioning of your equipment is made by altering the tension of the internal locking mechanism.
The pins at the end of each arm are capable of swiveling on their ball-and-socket joints providing extra flexibility for positioning your equipment.

Impact Pivot Arm Reviews

No Joke. I bought my first magic arm 35 years ago, and was irked that they brought out a variable friction arm later. I stubbornly refused to get one. What seemed expensive 20, 15, 10, 5 years ago it was expensive, now its due for a catalog price increase. It, is, of course, fantastic, and I love the sh1t out of it. I have it set up as an arm for a console computer, that I can use and reposition depending on my needs. Works beautifully for this task.

This locking mechanism (lever) is quite useless and dangerous to use. It snaps back open at the slightest touch. Straight out of the books it does not feel safe. Go with the wheel version.

Will this REALLY hold 8 lbs. if it extended out perfectly horizontally and the 8 lbs. is on the end?
I use one with a large strobe and beauty dish. I'd say it's all of 8 lbs. It should hold that much weight depending how each end is attached. The joints won't give but other components can slip. This unit is very strong!

Is that impact arm with lever better than the impact one with knob? How it's vs Manfrotto one?
The only difference between the Impact Pivot Arm 20" with Locking Lever included in the Impact Pivot Arm Kit and the Impact Pivot Arm 20" with Adjustable Wheel Lock Control, B&H # IMBHE115, or the Manfrotto 244N Variable Friction Magic Arm, B&H # MA244N, with its adjustable locking wheel versus the Manfrotto 143N Magic Arm without Camera Bracket, B&H # MA143N, with its pivot locking arm would simply be the locking mechanism; otherwise, they are identical in all other aspects. The Impact arms have a maximum load capacity of 8 lb (3.6 kg), whereas the maximum load capacity of the Manfrotto arms would be 6.6 lb (3 kg).

Can the ball pins be rotated to various positions? If so, can they be locked in those positions?
Yes, you can rotate the ends independently, also, they can be locked by the central locking nob. It is a decent piece of equipment.

Are there any other differences between this model and the wheel lock model besides method of tension? Does one have locking or splines that would hold better than just a friction based hold?
The wheel lock version will allow you to crank down the knob and apply higher friction than the on/off latch will allow for.
