Manfrotto 396AB-3 Double Articulated Arm – 3 Sections Without Camera Bracket

The Manfrotto 396AB-3 Double Articulated Arm is a professional-grade positioning tool designed for photographers, videographers, and grip specialists who need versatile, reliable camera placement in tight spaces.

Built with three adjustable sections, this arm extends to 86.4 cm and handles loads up to 5 kg with confidence. The 396 Series offers considerably more rigidity than Manfrotto’s 196 range, making it ideal for heavier camera setups that demand stability without compromise.

Quick-lock mechanism makes adjustments fast and intuitive — just a quarter-turn secures your positioning firmly in place. The hexagonal spigot fits securely into Bogen or Avenger Super Clamps, Matthew Mafer clamps, and a wide range of other grip equipment via its universal adapter section.

Whether you’re working in cramped locations or need multiple angles without changing your rig, the 396AB-3 delivers the flexibility professionals expect from Manfrotto.
