What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is an adjustable mounting arm that holds assistive switches or small devices in a precise, stable position — you lock every joint with a single lever once you've found the right angle. It extends up to 20 inches (51cm) and clamps onto wheelchair frames, table edges, or similar surfaces, making it practical in multiple environments. This is purely a positioning accessory: you still need the switch or device you want to mount, plus a compatible mounting plate (such as a Manfrotto triangular plate) that fits the standard 3/8" or 1/4" camera-thread connection. That mounting plate is sold separately, so budget for it alongside this arm.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Attach the Super Clamp to a wheelchair frame or table edge and tighten securely. - With a guide
- Attach a compatible Manfrotto triangular mounting plate (purchased separately) to the switch or device using the 3/8" or 1/4" thread.
- Connect the mounted switch to the Magic Arm and position the arm to the desired angle.
- Tighten the single locking lever to lock all joints simultaneously — allow 15–20 minutes for initial setup and adjustment. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An assistive technology professional (ATP) or occupational therapist (OT) should evaluate optimal switch placement relative to the user's range of motion and seated position.
- Positioning adjustments may be needed across 1–2 sessions as the user's posture or access method is refined.
