A lot of readers of this blog tend to be photographers so this is for my friends with cameras. I recently purchased a Manfrotto Magic Arm and I’m loving it. Often I end up shooting in random places that setting up another full stand may sneak into the shot or I want to get a flash up in the ceiling or SOMETHING like that. If you’ve ever been in a situation like that, go get one of these!

i like the ball-joint design! how much can one of these support?
Hi Brooks, I follow your blog pretty religiously and want to mention that the image header for the blog hasn’t worked for me in some time. Just comes up with the standard Safari blue question mark as seen here: http://drop.seanmcg.com/The%20Photography%20Blog%20of%20Brooks%20Reynolds.jpg
Just thought, I’d mention it. Cheers!
