Tripod accessory Manfrotto 244MICRO-AR — black, 3 kg load, 3/8" connecting thread, 240 g

Manfrotto 244MICRO-AR is a compact black tripod accessory designed for secure mounting of heads, mounts and small camera equipment. The 15 cm friction arm features an interchangeable Anti-rotation adapter system and a standard 3/8" connecting thread, offering a maximum load capacity of 3 kg while weighing only 240 g. The Anti-rotation attachments interlock with compatible Manfrotto products to prevent unwanted rotation and provide a stable connection between accessories and tripod legs or clamps.

Advantages

The 244MICRO-AR combines low weight and a robust 3 kg load capacity, making it suitable for lightweight photo and video setups. The interchangeable Anti-rotation adapters increase compatibility with Manfrotto gear such as the 055 and 190 series and the 386B-1 Nano Clamp. A 3/8" adapter is included and attachments can be swapped quickly using the supplied hex key. The friction arm construction allows for controlled positioning while the anti-rotation interface secures the mounted equipment against unintended turning.

How to use

Mount the 244MICRO-AR by threading the 3/8" connector into the tripod head socket or clamp and hand-tightening until secure. If a different adapter is required, use the supplied hex key to remove the current attachment and replace it with a compatible Anti-rotation adapter, ensuring the interlocking features align before tightening. Position the friction arm to the desired angle and adjust the friction control to hold the setup steady. Do not exceed the stated 3 kg load capacity and account for the length of any adapters when planning reach.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the 244MICRO-AR with compatible Manfrotto tripods and clamps. Regularly check and retighten the adapter interface and friction joints before each shoot. Avoid sudden impacts or side loads and keep total mounted weight within the 3 kg limit to maintain stability and prolong component life.
