What the thread found

• The Master Film Arm has a gross maximum weight capacity of approximately 65 to 67 pounds for the complete system including camera, sled, and all other mounted components.
• The arm can be tuned for heavier loads to reach the higher weight limit, or detuned for lighter payloads, with adjustments made via Allen wrench adjustment separate from the standard red control knobs.
• While the arm advertises support for cameras up to 45 pounds, the total system weight capacity is significantly higher due to the sled and other attached equipment.

Depends on

• The exact maximum weight varies depending on tuning configuration.
• The discussion does not specify which exact Master arm model variants were being discussed.
• One participant's comment about tuning 'the Larry way' lacks sufficient detail to be actionable.
