Manfrotto 396B-2 2-Section Double Articulated Arm

The Manfrotto 396B-2 2-Section Double Articulated Arm is a 640 g black aluminum arm with an extendable sliding section (up to 62.5 cm), 5 kg payload, quick-lock system, camera bracket with 3/8" female + 5/8" stud top, and anti-rotation 16 mm hex/universal bottom spigot, delivering robust, versatile positioning for lights, cameras, or monitors in studio or location.

It features two articulated sections with a sliding extension that locks instantly via ergonomic quick-release levers, reaching 62.5 cm for precise overhead, side, or low-angle setups. The top camera bracket includes a 3/8"-16 female thread and 16 mm baby stud, while the bottom spigot combines a hexagonal anti-rotation profile (Super Clamp compatible) with a universal 16 mm round section for stands or clamps. Rated for 5 kg, the black anodized aluminum frame resists flex and wear, making it ideal for product photography, video monitoring, or gaffer work with LED panels, speedlights, or small cameras, compact, strong, and endlessly adjustable.
