Q: 1. Will this REALLY hold 6.6 lbs. if it is extended all the way out horizontally 20" with the weight at the end?

A: Yes the load capacity would be based on the full extension of the arm, so it is capable of holding up to 6.6 lbs.

Q: 2. can I replace the camera arm end with a clamp end?

A: If the intent is to use the arm to hold a camera but with the ability to use a clamp on both ends, then you would actually need the Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Arm With Camera Bracket, B&H # MA244. Please see the following image.

Q: 3. I'm getting a lot of cracking / creaking noise when tightening the knob. Is this normal?

A: You need to re-lube the tightening mechanism with a small amount of grease.

Q: 4. please tell me what diameter thread the ends take. Thank you. ?

Q: 6. I"m needing to use something like this to shoot down flat/macro work. Will this support a Canon 5D3 with say 100L macro lens or 24-70L II lens?

Q: 7. After having received this device unassembled I now do not know how it fits back together and the instructions say absolutely nothing about assembly. There are a number of washers and discs and a long screw. I imagine the screw holds the arms together, but I do not know the proper assembly of the washers, knobs or discs. I am not pleased with this purchase already. Please help.?

Q: 8. Weight capacity. How heavy of a camera is this arm rated to hold?

A: Not sure what the official specs are but we support a Thermography camera and motorized pan/tilt mechanism from it. The combination weighs about 5 pounds. The closer the arm is to the wall the stronger it will be, and of course the more horizontal extension used it won't support as much. The lock knob can be cranked down pretty tight, and the arm and wall plate are very solid (typical for Manfrotto).

Q: 9. Can I remove camera bracket out like Manfrotto_244 ?

A: Yes but not easily. The screw is threadlocked on and once you remove it, it will no longer be a secure hold. You're better off buying the regular 244N of you don't want a bracket, or getting a 244 which comes with the removable bracket, not a quick release.

Q: 10. Will it work on Odyssey 7Q+ and Sony FS700? Or should I use another Magic Arm? Thanks.

A: The 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket is much heavier than you need for that application, in my opinion. Depends on your rig or setup. But a smaller extension device will likely be more acceptable.
