What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This adjustable arm holds a switch in the exact spot where someone can reach and press it reliably. A large knob loosens the arm so you can move it smoothly, then locks it in place; the arm reaches out to about 20 inches (51 cm) and holds up to 2 kg. It comes with a Super Clamp for attaching to a wheelchair or a table edge. The arm fits devices with a standard 3/8" or 1/4" camera thread, but you'll need to buy a separate mounting plate (such as a Manfrotto triangular plate) and your own switch, since neither is included.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
- Clamp the Super Clamp onto a table edge or a wheelchair frame, then attach the arm to it.
- Fix a mounting plate to your switch, then screw the plate onto the arm's camera-style thread.
- With a guide
- Loosen the large knob, move the arm until the switch sits where the person can press it comfortably, then tighten the knob to lock it.
- Test the position with the person using it, and adjust the reach and angle until pressing is easy and consistent. Plan on 20-30 minutes for first-time setup.
- With professional help
An OT or ATP can help choose the best switch location, check that the clamp spot on a wheelchair is stable and safe, and match the mount to the person's reach and movement. A first session usually takes about an hour. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
