Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the magic arm is straightforward: attach one end of the 1/4"-20 screw to your support device (such as a crab clamp) and the other end to your accessory. Use the knurled thumbscrew to tighten the connection manually. If you are mounting heavier gear, use the included Allen wrench to tighten the securing hole for a more permanent, locked-in feel. The arm is universally compatible with any gear featuring standard 1/4"-20 threading. To maintain the device, keep the ball heads free of dust and grit. If the arm is used in harsh environments, wipe it down with a dry, soft cloth after use, and ensure the protective rubber pads are clean to maintain a good grip on your cameras or monitors.
