One of the issues faced by those using wheelchairs, is that they're frequently using their hands for pushing it.
To assist in the comfortable use of a phone, tablet, binoculars or even a DSRL camera when using a wheelchair, the Kenko Assist ARM series firmly attaches your device to the wheelchair, freeing your arms and hands.

The mount is solid too, greatly reducing the risk of unexpected movement of or even dropping your device. The angle and height can be freely adjusted to suit you and the KS-WL has an extension pole can be attached to extend the range of motion.
The Assist ARM series is accessories that was developed in collaboration with the camera tripod manufacturer SLIK.
In the recent years, as cameras have become increasingly sophisticated and precise in terms of technology, the camera industry demands greater and more secure support of such high-precise photographic equipment. One of the tools that can provide such secure support are of course tripods.
By teaming up with SLIK, a company that has a long tradition in making strong tripods for all kinds of cameras and that can withstand all kinds of environments, we were able to bring in their know-how and technology when designing the "Assist ARM" series, making it an accessory with high precision and outstanding stability.
Therefore, Kenko Assist ARM is designed not only to eliminate inconveniences when moving with a wheelchair, but also to ensure maximum user safety.
Firm and safe attachment for safety and convenience
The clamp that can be attached to the pipe of the wheelchair is made of aluminium and is very robust, so the risk of it suddenly coming off when the wheelchair is moving is extremely small.
The clamp can be attached to round pipes (17-32mm) and square pipes (Square: 22-28mm, Rectangle: short side 15-25mm / long side 25-28mm).
* When attaching to a pipe with a diameter of 17-22mm, a rubber tube (included) has to be used for a firm grip.
UNIVERSAL BALL-HEAD PROVIDES FREEDOM FOR ADJUSTMENT AND QUICK SET-UP
A universal ball-head provides freedom and allows precise adjustment.
The quick-release shoe also makes for a smooth set-up of gadgets such as iPad, iPhone, cameras, binoculars, and so on.
