Manfrotto Single Arm 2 Section with Camera Bracket

The Manfrotto 196B-2 is a compact, telescopic 2-section articulated arm (60.5 cm max) with a removable camera bracket, designed for precise positioning of small cameras, LED lights, or monitors up to 1.5 kg. Perfect for table-top, macro, or product photography when mounted via Super Clamp – it collapses to just 38 cm yet extends and locks independently in each section for ultimate flexibility in tight spaces.

The Manfrotto 196B-2 is the telescopic version of Manfrotto’s classic single articulated arm. Both sections lock separately with large ergonomic handles and the inner section slides out for extra reach. Supplied with the 143BKT swivel camera/monitor bracket (1/4″-20 screw + locking pin), it’s the go-to arm for macro rigs, copy stands, low-angle shots or mounting on-camera lights. Ends feature 5/8″ Baby studs with 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 female threads – fully Super Clamp compatible.
