Using the Manfrotto 196AB - 2 is quite simple. First, decide on the position where you want to use it. You can attach the bottom part to a surface using the 16mm spigot and 1/4'' thread, which is compatible with a Superclamp. Then, adjust the two - section articulated arm to your desired length using the sliding extension feature. When it comes to payload, make sure not to exceed 3.31 lbs, or 1.5 Kg at full extension. This will keep the arm stable and prevent any damage. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to keep it clean. Wipe it down regularly with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place when not in use to avoid rust and other forms of damage. Also, be careful when handling it due to its lightweight nature, so it doesn't get accidentally dropped or banged around.
