- 22" Magic Arm Clamp, Overhead Phone Mount Holder Stand, Flexible Desk Camera Mount, Articulating Friction Boom Arm, for POV Shot, Filming, Light, Webcam, Action Camera

The SMALLRIG 22" Magic Arm Clamp is a super versatile and sturdy setup for overhead shots and desk mounting. The arm is long and flexible, making it easy to position exactly where you need it, and it holds securely without slipping. Build quality feels solid thanks to the metal construction, and it works great for phones, lights, or small cameras. Just be mindful of the weight limit, but for most setups, it’s perfect. Great value for content creation or everyday use.

I got this because I needed something practical for both video calls and creating content without overcomplicating my setup. So far it’s been really useful. It’s easy to clamp onto my desk, and once it’s in place, it feels secure. I’ve been using it mostly with my phone, and it holds it without any issues. What I like the most is how flexible it is. You can move it around and adjust the angle depending on what you need, whether it’s for a call or recording from above. It makes a big difference not having to hold the phone or stack things to get the right angle. It also feels well made, not flimsy, which was something I was a bit concerned about before getting it. Overall it’s been a solid addition to my setup. Simple, practical, and it does exactly what I needed.

I bought this because I use a real camera on my desk instead of a webcam. I connect my camera directly to my computer and record a lot of content. It’s kind of like a streaming setup, even though I’m not actually a streamer. I wanted something that would hold my camera right in front of me like a webcam, but also let me change angles when I wanted. This mount has been great. It’s very sturdy and built really well. The clamp is strong and adjusts easily to the desk. Once it’s tightened and positioned, it doesn’t move at all. If you intentionally tug on it, sure, you can make it shift a little, but during normal use there’s no shake and no drift. Setup was easier than I expected. At first you just have to get used to how the joints move, but once you understand that, adjusting it is simple. I mainly use it with my Sony camera, and being able to loosen the screw and dial in the exact angle I want is a big plus. I like it so much that I ended up buying two. I got my first one in August 2025 and another in January 2026. Instead of constantly unclamping and moving it around for different angles, I just added a second one to my desk. It’s slim, minimal, and doesn’t clutter my setup. It’s been perfect for content creation and for using my camera as a webcam. People constantly comment on how good the video looks, and a big part of that is having the camera held securely in the right position. I’ve tried propping cameras up in other ways before, and nothing was this stable or clean. Would I buy it again? Yes. I already bought two, and if I ever needed another one, I wouldn’t hesitate.

Pros: Very solid overall build quality. Once locked into place, it securely holds my iPhone 16 Pro Max with a Speck case and feels stable during use. Most of the assembly feels well-made and dependable. Cons: The phone holder itself is plastic, unlike the rest of the metal construction. It works fine, but it feels like the weakest part and may not hold up as well with frequent use. SmallRig does sell a metal replacement separately, which suggests this included holder is more of a basic option. Summary: A strong and stable mount with excellent performance, but long-term durability would be improved if the phone holder matched the rest of the build quality.

I do a bit of desk top conferencing---- big desk, big screen. This unit was very versatile. I mounted a webcam (logitech) directly to the mount at the top, created a very complex series of bends on the arm clamp and got a very adjustable camera angle. I did move the swivel arm (the swivel mounted to the base clamp (the clamp that would go on a table)) and it gave me a more refined extended angle which I needed. This was possible because the base clamp has a second threaded hole which you can utilize for just this purpose. I found the swivel to lock up tight enough to hold the entirely extended unit, with bends (which by the laws of physics made the camera end heavy). I'll see if over time it develops a "flop" which I won't like but it's not flopping. My original thought was to mount the unit on the left or ride side of my desk but 22 inches was not long enough. I instead mounted the base clamp behind the monitor and went under the monitor which is about 4 inches above my desk. The camera now extends directly infront of my monitor (by going under) and there's two more ball adjustments to elevate the camera and get the perspective just right. Bonus--can release one of the swivels and it lowers the camera flat for when I'm not doing teleconferencing--takes all of a minute to raise it back up--and my keyboard resides in front of all this--returning to a work station. Nothing is in the way. No more mini wobbly tripod. I would have mounted it to the monitor but that in all likelihood would have damaged the monitor. If they made a 36 inch arm, I could side mount and simply brush the arm to the side each day when the camera is not in use. Though I bought the unit to be permanent, the arm (if I purchase a second one) is perfect for iphone filming when travelling light to create static shots in impromptu filming situations. Fiddle about and you'll get it to do what you want--which is what it's designed for--versatility. I can't compare it to the competing neweer or other brands but I've had a few small rig products that are well made, quality control is good and if this isn't flopped in 12 hours it's a raging success!

I record videos of my workbench and this arm is exactly what I was looking for. The arms are metal and feel sturdy, the ball joints are easy to adjust, and the desk clamp holds tight to my bench. It allows me to go from profile shots to overhead shots with ease, and holds my phone firmly in place. Great product for the price.

Produto incrível, muito bem construído. O suporte que vem para o celular parece bem frágil, recomendo o MA02 ou MA50 para celular com MagSafe.

Wykonany solidnie z metalu. Spełnia swoje zadanie.

Perfect hulpmiddel om dia's te digitaliseren. Ik doe het met de Nikon fotocamera. Hulpstuk aanwezig evt voor smartphone

Individual components are great quality, which contributes to a strong clamp force in all the joints, providing a really good, stable, and sturdy arm that stands the test of time. Can easily add additional components to extend or shorten the length. And the gaskets on the ball part of the joint reduce slipping and add stability when trying to make small adjustments. I’m really impressed with the design of this product.
