What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Magic Arm holds a switch or other lightweight device in just the right spot, then locks every joint at once with a single lever. It comes with a Super Clamp that grips a wheelchair, a table edge, or a similar surface. The arm reaches out to 51 cm (20 inches) and carries up to 2 kg. It fits switches and accessories with a standard 3/8" or 1/4" camera mount thread. This is only the mount: the switch and the mounting plate are not included, so you'll need to add a separate plate, such as a Manfrotto triangular plate, before it can hold anything.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Clamp the Super Clamp onto a table edge or wheelchair frame and tighten it until it holds firmly. - With a guide
- Attach a compatible mounting plate to your switch, then connect the plate to the end of the arm.
- Position the switch where the user can reach it, then tighten the single lever to lock all the joints. Allow 15-30 minutes to get the placement right.
- With professional help
An OT or ATP can help choose the best spot for the switch and the right clamp location, especially on a wheelchair. Plan on one session of about 30-60 minutes, with a check-in later if the user's position or needs change.
