The large Leofoto Versa Magic Arm is a multipurpose accessory arm that attaches to the leg of select Leofoto tripods or other tripods and camera brackets with a 3/8"-16 threaded hole. For easy transportation, the arm folds to 6.2" in length. The magic arm allows a light, microphone, monitor, smartphone, tablet, or even an additional camera to be affixed to a camera rig without the added bulk of a clamp. Each end of the magic arm features a ball-and-socket joint that rotates 360°, and the center elbow joint locks in any position.
