FAQs

What is the maximum weight this arm can support?

The Manfrotto Micro Arm has a maximum payload capacity of 3kg.

What are the included attachments?

The kit includes a Nano clamp and standard 3/8" adapter fittings. It also has a 1/4" screw on the Nano clamp.

Can I attach other adapters to this arm?

Yes, the arm has standard 3/8" screw fittings, allowing for the use of various other compatible adapters if needed.

How is the arm locked in place?

A single central lever controls and locks all angles of the arm, allowing for quick adjustments and secure positioning.

What materials is the arm made from?

The arm is constructed from durable aluminum steel, ensuring a balance of strength and light weight.

What is the total length of the arm when fully extended?

The fully extended length of the Micro Arm is 15cm.

Is this arm suitable for heavier cameras?

Due to its 3kg payload limit, this arm is best suited for lighter cameras, accessories like monitors, small lights, or microphones, rather than heavy professional camera setups.

Troubleshooting

Arm joint is loose or won't stay in position.

Ensure the central locking lever is fully tightened. If the issue persists, check for debris in the joints or contact customer support.

Nano clamp won't grip securely.

Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Adjust the clamp opening to fit the surface thickness snugly and tighten the clamp mechanism firmly.

Accessory is wobbly on the arm.

Verify that the accessory is securely attached to the arm's mounting thread and that the arm itself is locked in position with the central lever.

Accessory exceeds the payload limit and causes the arm to sag.

Do not exceed the 3kg maximum payload. Use a stronger arm or support system for heavier accessories.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the Nano clamp to your desired surface or stand. Ensure the clamp is securely fastened.
  2. Connect the Micro Arm to the Nano clamp using the included 3/8" or 1/4" screw, or directly to a tripod head with a 3/8" thread.
  3. Mount your accessory (camera, light, monitor) to the other end of the Micro Arm using the appropriate adapter.
  4. Adjust the position of the arm and accessory. Once in place, tighten the central lever firmly to lock all joints.

Compatibility:

  • Mounting Point: Compatible with any surface or stand the Nano clamp can grip (typically edges from 0.5cm to 3.5cm thick).
  • Tripods: Works well with Manfrotto 190 and 055 series tripods, and other tripods with standard 3/8" or 1/4" threads.
  • Accessories: Ideal for accessories with a 3/8" or 1/4" mounting point and a weight not exceeding 3kg.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check that all screws and connections are tight.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
