Product Information
Full details
The Benro RAMA1 Adjustable Accessory Arm is an ideal tool for videographers, photographers, and content creators who need a reliable, compact mounting solution for lights, microphones, or field monitors. It provides exceptional positioning flexibility through its three-point articulation system, capable of supporting significant payloads despite its modest footprint; however, users should note that its short 13cm length is optimized for compact setups rather than extended reach requirements.

FAQs
Does the RAMA1 come with a cold shoe mount?
No, the RAMA1 features a standard 1/4-20 thread on both ends. You may need an adapter if your accessory requires a cold shoe mount.
Can this arm hold a professional 7-inch monitor?
Yes, with a 9.97 kg payload capacity, it can easily support standard 7-inch field monitors.
What is the total length of the arm when fully extended?
The arm is 13cm long. It is designed for proximity mounting rather than extended reach.
Is this arm compatible with standard camera tripods?
Yes, as long as your tripod or tripod head has a 1/4-20 mounting point.
How do I ensure the arm doesn't loosen during use?
Tighten the main knurled knob firmly. For added security, ensure your accessory is screwed fully onto the 1/4-20 threads.
Troubleshooting
Accessory is sagging under weight
Ensure the center tension knob is tightened firmly. If it continues to sag, verify that the total weight of the accessory does not exceed 9.97 kg.
Knobs are difficult to turn
Check the threads for any debris or sand and gently clean with a dry cloth. Avoid using lubricants which may attract more dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the RAMA1, simply screw the 1/4-20 thread into your camera cage or tripod mount, then attach your accessory to the opposing end. Loosen the center tension knob to position the arm exactly where you need it before tightening it firmly. For maintenance, keep the ball joints free of dust and debris to ensure smooth movement. If the arm loses tension, ensure the locking knobs are fully threaded. Do not exceed the 9.97 kg weight capacity to prevent potential damage to the articulation joints.
