Maximum holding capacity is 5 lb. (2.3 kg.). The basic arm has a camera support with a standard 1/4-20 thread for camera thread wells. Hardware package is included. Shipping weight is 3 lb.

PLAY Tip
Protecting children with spina bifida in the pool
Swimming in the shallow end poses a special hazard for children without sensation in their legs. To ensure their safety try putting the child into a swim aid like the Dolphin and avoiding the shallow end all together. Don't forget to check the latex-status, most are latex-free.
