Manfrotto 196B-2 – 2-Section Single Articulated Arm

The Manfrotto 196B-2 is a compact articulated support arm for positioning small cameras, monitors, lights, or accessories from a stand or clamp. Its two-section design provides adjustable reach while keeping the rig lightweight and easy to place.

It has a 60.5 cm arm length, 0.53 kg weight, and 1 kg payload at full extension. The arm includes a removable 143BKT camera bracket, 5/8" / 16 mm spigot attachments, a 3/8" female top thread, and a 1/4" female bottom thread for Super Clamp-compatible setups. Manfrotto’s current spec sheet also lists 1.5 kg payload in the technical table, while the product feature section states 1 kg at full extension.

Useful for compact monitor rigs, lightweight camera mounting, small LED placement, tabletop work, and accessory positioning where a full Magic Arm is heavier than required.
