Choosing the right Magic Arms
Mike Greener, Photographer

->> Hey everybody I am trying to find a Manfrotto magic arm set up with the crank wheel tightening mechanism. Christmas is coming and the family needs gift ideas for me. All I have been seeing is the lever/bar tightener setup. I recall from past SS workshop videos that the lever type cranks are garbage and that the wheel crank is a better investment. Can anybody give me some advice or direction on the matter?

Anxious for some enlightment. Thanks, -M

->> BHVideo had a few "Store Demos" they were selling for a really good price (the wheel and not the lever style). I just picked one up, check ou the site and see if they have any left.
