Q: 1. Would the Manfrotto 396 be suitable to hold a 5.6 lb studio flash (specifically the Godox DP400III) including modifier (gridded reflector or snoot)? It would be mounted to a tabletop with a Manfrotto super clamp.

A: The arm is rated to 11 lbs and would be fine for that light and modifier.

Q: 2. I have a super clamp to mount this to my mobility scooter but it doesn't tell how much weight it will support. I have a D800 with battery grip and I will want it to be able to hold that with my Tamron 150-600?

A: the super clamp will hold it, but the arm joints are a little weaker than I need them to be. I use this for my photo booth with a canon 60D and a 18-55mm lens, it bounces a lot when I barely touch it. I would say spend a little bit more and get one that's a little more heavy duty, especially with a battery grip attached and the heavy lens. good luck to you!

Q: 3. Can the camera head be removed? Would like to have hexagonal plugs at both ends of the arm, not just one.

A: Yes the head is removable and the ends are Round not Hex

Q: 4. Each end has a threaded female fitting. What size are EACH of the fittings? 3/8 , 1/4 , both or one of each?

A: On one end the fitting is 3/8 and on the other end it is 1/4 .

Q: 5. I'm looking for a way to mount a tripod on to a wheelchair using a clamp of some type and a movable arm. Could this be used for that?

A: In that situation this could replace the tripod entirely. You would need a magic clamp to attach this arm to the wheelchair, though. But be aware that, once secured, every small vibration of the wheelchair would shake the camera.

Q: 6. Is there a way to mount this onto the edge of a desk?

A: You may purchase a super clamp such as the Manfrotto 035RL Super Clamp with Standard Stud, B&H # MA035RL, or the Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle, B&H # IMCC106R, to connect the Manfrotto 2-Section Double Articulated Arm with Camera Bracket to the edge of an desk as long as the desk is between 0.5" to 2.1" thick.

Q: 7. weight limit?

A: This is not a rigid structure and the camera will move around if you bump it at all. I don't know the exact maximum limit . I have used it with a Canon EOS 70D and Sigma 18-50 mm zoom. I use remote release or with release through software on my laptop.

Q: 8. What are the accessories needed for holding a reflector, and also for a flash? Thank you

A: To attach a shoe mount flash to one end of this arm, you can use the Manfrotto 143S Flash Shoe for Magic Arm B&H # MA143S. If the reflector was 12 or under, you could attach the Manfrotto 175 Spring Clamp B&H # MA175 on one end of the arm. If you intend to use a reflector that is about 22 or larger, a dedicated reflector arm and stand would be recommended such as the Impact Multiboom Light Stand and Reflector Holder, B&H # IMLSRH. Please see the images below for reference.

Q: 9. How does this attach to a tripod?

A: Usually you would use a Super Clamp to attach it to one of the legs.

Q: 10. The description says 34" reach. How far can each section extend, is it 11"? The specifications section is weak, only packaging info.

A: It is approximately 10-11"
