The Manfrotto 143A Magic Arm is a fully articulated arm with 90° pivotable and 360° rotatable ends, and an elbow that rotates 360°. The lever tightens and locks for precise positioning of a small light head or camera. The Magic Arm has 5/8" studs on ball joints at both ends with 3/8 and 1/4" female threads.
Although it is supplied with a camera platform, this item requires a Super Clamp or Base (available separately) for use. This item replaces old catalog #2930.

Q: 8. Is there another option for the mounting screw? I'm accustomed to using plates that have a swing out tightener for leverage. Or do I just always need to have a coin with me to get it tight?

A: The way this plate is designed, you can certainly replace the provided mounting screws with your own (that have swing out tighteners) but it's common to have a flat-head screwdriver on hand when putting together any decent camera rig.

Q: 9. the photo shows 1/4 -20 studs installed on both ends, plus a loose 3/8 -16 stud. But, the description says one 1/4 -20 stud and one 3/8 -16 stud. Which is correct?

A: The arm comes with two 1/4 fittings on it. The extra part is the 3/8 adapter, which you screw onto one end and attach to the tripod. I have the arm holding a 7 monitor and its works great. You tighten the clamp and it stays.

Q: 10. Hello! Is the bracket compatible with the Quantum Qflash Model T5D-R B&H # QUQFT5DR MFR # QFT5D-R?If not, what do I need to make the Lastolite Ezybox II Switch Large (35 x 17 / 35 x 35 ) B&H # LAEZB2SLQ MFR # LL LS2730 work with my Q flash T5D-R?Thanks for your help!

A: The Ezybox II bracket is great for umbrellas, Apollo SoftBoxes as well as the switchbox for one OR two flashes! It has 2- slide-in cold shoes (or mount one in center) but no 1/4 x 20 male mount. I use an AD-360 that will mount by either a 1/4 x 20 or a cold shoe. If the Q-flash needs the threaded 1/4 mount you'd need that. The flash lays so close to umbrella's center it gives even illumination, and parabolic umbrellas up it 7' (84 - silver with diffuser cap) are light weight, cheap, quick setup, round catch lights and compact (centered on light stand instead of sticking out from it) .. compaired to a large switch box , twice as big equals 4x the softness ! You can stand in front with camera and it'll put fill light around BOTH sides of camera!! I have 2 Ezybox II brackets and plan on getting one more.Alan
