Braccio per treppiedi Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction ARM con piastra — altezza 490 mm, 1,11 kg, nero

The Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction Arm with Plate is a compact articulated support designed for photographic and video heads. With a maximum extension of 490 mm and a net weight of 1.11 kg, this black-finish arm provides controlled pan and tilt movement through an adjustable friction mechanism and a large locking knob. It is supplied with a quick release camera plate featuring a secondary safety lock compatible with the 200PL-14 style plates, and it fits standard 5/8” female sockets for secure attachment to clamps and rigging points.

Advantages

The variable friction control allows smooth, repeatable positioning of cameras and accessories while the large locking knob secures the arm reliably once the desired angle is set. The included quick release plate speeds up mounting and dismounting of equipment and the secondary safety lock reduces the risk of accidental release. The design is compact and robust, suitable for studio or on-location use, and compatible with common clamps such as the 035 Super Clamp.

How to use

Recommendations

For stable setups, use the arm with a rated clamp or stand and verify load compatibility of your camera or accessory. Regularly inspect the quick release plate and safety lock for wear, and avoid exceeding the practical load for smooth friction control. When transporting, lock the arm and plate to prevent movement.
