Manfrotto 131D Side Arm (Silver)
The Manfrotto 131D Side Arm (also known by its Bogen catalog number 3059) is an essential studio accessory for photographers and videographers requiring overhead or multi-angle setups. Designed to mount onto any tripod center column with a standard 3/8″ thread, this bar allows for the simultaneous mounting of two tripod heads at a 90-degree perpendicular angle to each other. It is the perfect solution for copy work, macro photography, or dual-camera shoots.
Versatility and Precision
Dual Head Mounting: Featuring two 3/8″ screws, this side arm allows you to mount two heads at once. This is ideal for comparing two cameras, mounting a camera alongside a monitor/laptop, or creating complex top-down shooting rigs.
Perpendicular Positioning: The unique design allows for precise positioning of your gear at a 90-degree angle, providing reach and perspectives that a standard tripod center column cannot achieve.
Smooth Column Travel: With 19.41 inches of travel, you can slide your gear along the length of the arm to achieve the perfect balance or framing for your subject.
Robust Professional Build
Universal Attachment: The arm features a 3/8″ female thread at the bottom, making it compatible with almost any professional tripod column on the market.
Classic Silver Finish: The durable aluminum construction is finished in a professional silver, matching classic Manfrotto and Bogen tripod legs.
Substantial Reach: With a total length of 23.62 inches, this arm provides significant extension for reaching over tables, light tents, or subjects in the field.
