Bogen makes an Accessory Side Arm (Part No. 3059 or 3059B for black) and
they now call the Crazy Arm the Magic Arm and it is Part No. 2930. This
works best with the Super Clamp (Part No. 2915). My B&H catalog shows the
Side Arm but I didn't see the other two items. Any Bogen parts can be
ordered through Perks Photo (www.perksphoto.com). Bogen's web site address
is www.bogenphoto.com. I just tried to access this site and could not get
in. /jnm
