Using Magic Arms (Manfrotto Variable Friction Arm) - Get a Grip Ep 4
If you ever need to hang a camera, light, or umbrella somewhere, like off a pole, door, or from ceiling, a Magic Arm will do the job.
This time on Get a Grip, we're looking at the Manfortto Variable Friction Arm, or magic arm, and the associated camera and umbrella bracket. We'll look at how the arm works in conjunction with super clamps to support a camera. How to use 2 arms together to support a heavier camera setup. And finally how the camera and umbrella bracket work to allow for lighting setups.
