Review on Black Manfrotto 196AB-2 2-Section Single Articulated Arm - Camera Bracket Not Included by Joseph Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very flexible and strong to a point.

This "lightweight" add-on is only for flares or small light shapers! I bought it to mount the Canon 600ex in places where it is difficult to place stands. I mount it on a super clamp (attached with no extras) and it does the job well. Incredible positioning flexibility and much heavier weight than any flash but I wouldn't trust it for my camera or multiple flash clusters.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Annoying

Used as a macro light bracket - sturdy and easily adjustable!

Perfect for a small flash or LED
