## Summary description

Manfrotto 396AB-2 is a black aluminium tripod accessory designed as an extension/adapter with a 1.59 cm (0.625") attachment.

## Long description

Manfrotto 396AB-2 is an aluminium extension/adapter in black finish designed for photographic and video support systems. With a length of 625 mm and a weight of 500 g, this accessory offers a balance of lightness and mechanical strength. The unit features a 0.625" (16 mm) top spigot with 3/8" light attachment compatibility and a double-anchored 16 mm hexagonal/universal spigot at the bottom, enabling secure fixation to clamps, stands and a range of compatible heads and plates.
Advantages
The 396AB-2 combines durable aluminium construction with a compact mass, delivering robustness without excessive weight. Its design supports higher loads than earlier articulated-arm ranges and includes an extendable sliding mechanism that increases mounting flexibility. The bottom spigot integrates a hexagonal anti-rotation section together with a universal adapter form, improving stability and compatibility with Superclamp-style fittings and many standard stands and clamps.
Suitable for
 Mounting lightweight cameras, lights or monitors up to the accessory's load capacity
 Extending or adapting existing tripod heads and plates where a 16 mm spigot is required
 Attaching to clamps, stands and support rigs that accept universal or hexagonal spigots
 Field and studio setups needing a rigid, lightweight extension or adapter
Key specifications

 Length: 625 mm
 Weight: 500 g
 Top attachment: 16 mm spigot with 3/8" light attachment compatibility
 Bottom attachment: double-anchored 16 mm hexagonal/universal spigot
 Finish: black
 Supported load class: designed to support heavier loads than predecessor articulated arms (up to 5 kg in the 396 family)
How to use
Fit the bottom spigot into a compatible clamp or stand, ensuring the hexagonal section is engaged for anti-rotation if using a Superclamp-style fixture. Tighten the clamp or adapter to secure the lower spigot, then attach your head, plate, light or accessory onto the 16 mm top spigot, using the appropriate 3/8" connection where needed. Check that all locking mechanisms on the supporting clamps and heads are properly tightened before applying a load.
Usage recommendations
Use the Manfrotto 396AB-2 within the manufacturer's intended load range and verify compatibility with your clamps and heads prior to use; avoid exceeding the rated load for the connected head or support system and regularly inspect connections for wear or loosening.
