The articulated arm features three stages of adjustment, allowing for a super long extension of up to 29.53 inches. Each joint has a thumb screw that can be loosened to reposition the arm segments. Once the desired angle and reach are achieved, tighten all thumb screws to lock the arm firmly in place.
