SMALLRIG 11'' Magic Arm with Super Clamp, 1/4''-20 Threaded Articulating Arm with Cold Shoe Mount for Monitor, LED Light, Microphone - 3726

I recently got my hands on the SmallRig Magic Arm, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its build quality and versatility. The all-metal construction feels premium, with the black aluminum body and silver accents giving it a professional look. What really stands out is the robust locking mechanism - just one turn of the center wingnut allows you to adjust both ball joints simultaneously, and when tightened, it holds position rock solid.The super clamp is equally well-designed, featuring rubber padding to protect surfaces and an impressive grip range of 15-40mm. I particularly appreciate the dual 1/4" and 3/8" thread options, making it compatible with virtually any camera accessory. The 1.5kg payload capacity has been more than sufficient for mounting my monitors, lights, and microphones, though it's important to note this limit if you're planning to use heavier equipment. Most importantly, it's easy to use.One thing that sets this magic arm apart is its thoughtful design details. The knurled surfaces on the wingnut provide excellent grip, and the ball joints move smoothly when loosened but lock firmly in place when tightened. While the price might be higher than some alternatives, the build quality and reliability make it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about their camera setup. After using it for a while, I can say SmallRig has maintained their reputation for quality with this product.Note: the lighting box is a separate product.

Really a Swiss knife for mounting not just cameras I also use it for a key light. Can be adjusted for almost any angle and is solid once tightened!

This is a brilliant, great creative product, excellent good quality and would definitely recommend and would buy another one.Are used to attach a second camera to the same tripod for live streaming an event and it held up well. You can also use it for more creative shots, attaching it to things so the camera movement will be unique..The clamp is very strong and attached very well to my tripod.Don’t have anything bad to say about it for metal build, and it seems like it will last a long time, but only time will tell

It’s a good quality magic arm, locks tight and adjusts freely. But the cold-shoe mounting is poorly designed. To get it to hold securely you have to take pliers to the locking ring, otherwise it doesn’t hold tightly and can fall out. To add the cold shoe mount they’ve taken a regular magic arm, screwed in a [locking ring] to {barrel} to {locking ring}. That final locking ring is the weak point. Other mfrs have used locking rings with a lobe for more leverage, but this is just ‘knurled’ and can’t be tightened sufficiently by hand.The super clamp is as good as any other.

An incredible piece of kit for securely mounting a phone, camera, lights... Anything within reason! The clamp is very secure but rubberised so it doesn't damage surfaces, the arm feels very well made and providing you get the angles right, is very secure, with no movement. I bought this with a phone clamp to use for stop motion. Works perfectly

These small rig arms are great. The hot shoe adaptor can come off to expose a standard camera tripod thread. The clamp grips super tight, it’s really easy to use and feels very well made. They hold a decent amount of weight and are super versatile to have in the bag.Great value for money. I’d choose this over a manfrotto arm for anything not super super heavy duty.

I bought this to mount a Logitech C920 webcam on my monitor. Normally, the webcam would sit on the top of the monitor and stay in place with its rubberised foot; but it can't, because its home has been taken over by a monitor light whose balance is so delicate (and profile so rounded) that no webcam may find a place to rest thereupon.So instead, this arm attaches to the top of the monitor stand upright, and allows the webcam to peep over the top of the monitor light. Hello.It was slightly smaller than expected, but just long enough to suit its purpose, with enough adjustment to allow the webcam to gaze at me head on and centered.I'd not heard of SmallRig before, but they appear to have a good reputation for quality and reliability, and my experience does nothing to contradict that.

These are great, they are tight and hold things in place well, not like cheaper ones that just don't tighten up enough
