Manfrotto 237HD 520mm Heavy Duty Flexible Arm, Black

Product Information

Features a Flexible Adjustable Arm that allows you to bend into an array of different positions making it effortless to position your equipment where you need it to be. Our local exhaust ventilation arms can accommodate a wide range of different hoods, including flared, curved fish tail, spun bell mouth and ringed.

Using this slotted holder with the phone in landscape and portrait. It takes a bit of maneuvering to get the phone at the right angle, and you risk jogging it out of the holder as soon as you start typing. That's an iPhone 13 Max mounted in landscape on a MacBook Air on the left, and an iPhone 13 in portrait on a MacBook Air on the right. The main benefit of using an extraction arm to remove dust and fumes from a working environment is the capability of source capture extraction. In many instances, an ambient air filtration system or a fume extraction canopy does not provide sufficient extraction. To provide a safe working environment, an LEV arm is the best option as it can be specifically positioned to point the hood at the point of harmful emission. An increased surface area of all joints gives a much lighter feel to the extraction arm, allowing for easier positioning and support in any required position.

Honolulu, HI, USA (2020)Just as this article does, I was also looking to find the "best" way to mount a phone on a laptop or monitor. I guess the difference is that I was not willing to buy and try all the mounts available out there :). Nonetheless, thanks for the great, in-depth review.

A flexible arm has aspects of both a tripod and a car mount. You can attach it to your screen, your desk or any other object that can be clamped (such as a monitor stand or plant pot). It takes up no desk space, unlike a tripod, and can keep your desk clutter-free if attached behind your laptop or monitor. Flexible arms also offer a little more flexibility than a screen mount, as you can move the arm up and down, side to side to find the perfect position. You can even bend the arm round a corner if you need to. Local Exhaust Ventilation For Dust & Fumes Is there a difference between a fume extraction arm and a dust extraction arm?

Get that right and you will vastly increase the effectiveness of the extraction arm. These let you rest your phone in place, rather than holding it securely. As such, they’re easy to get your phone in and out of, but they will wobble when you type. I found it was more difficult to get a good angle when using this slotted holder than with any other mount, as the phone couldn’t be adjusted as easily with these mounts, and would often fall into a different position, anyway.

This configuration enables you to mount a small light or accessory on one end, and the other end can be mounted to a light stand or clamps such as a combi-clamp or a male C-Clamp etc. Ouyang, B., Liu, Y., Sun, D.: Design of a three-segment continuum robot for minimally invasive surgery.
