Manfrotto 244MINI 9.4" Mini Friction Arm

The Manfrotto 244MINI is a 9.4-inch friction arm engineered for photographers and videographers who need a reliable, adjustable way to mount lightweight accessories. Built from aluminum and steel in Italy, the arm strikes an effective balance between durability and weight—strong enough to securely hold monitors, LED lights, smartphone clamps, and other gear up to its 6.61 lb (3 kg) safety payload, while remaining light enough to add to a rig without creating balance problems. The single-knob friction mechanism at the center joint lets you loosen, position, and lock the arm quickly, keeping pace with fast-moving shoots where repositioning accessories needs to be effortless.

Mounting flexibility is a core design consideration. Both ends of the arm feature 1/4-inch attachments, and a 3/8-inch adapter is included for equipment that uses the larger thread standard. The attachments themselves are replaceable, which means the arm can adapt as your kit evolves rather than becoming obsolete when you change gear. At 9.4 inches, the 244MINI is compact enough to keep accessories positioned close to the camera or support structure, making it a practical choice for on-camera monitor mounting, small light placement, and other setups where a longer arm would introduce unwanted leverage or get in the way.
