CAMVATE 11 inch Adjustable Articulating Friction Magic Arm Compatible with LCD Monitor, DSLR Camera Rig, LED Lights, Flash Light - 1477

Well made! Very sturdy.

This item is highly recommended for serious photography and filmmaking professionals.

Sturdy unit that appears well built. I like the large twist knob to tighten the arms. One complaint is that I didn't realize the red lever knob needs to tighten to also tighten the ball joints that attach to the hot shoe and monitor. One has to position the monitor where you wish and then tighten the red knob to hold everything in place. I almost sent this back. There are more simple mounts. Advantage here is the monitor can be positioned in an almost unlimited number of ways depending on the needs.

The red knob locks the angle and the two ball head ends. I Lock Tite a Small Rig Super Clamp to each end and use it to position scrims and lights for all kinds of photography. I will try to follow up with some photos.

I like to record my son's baseball games and use this in addition to a fence clip that I have and it works great. Very adjustable in infinite angles makes it perfect - just make sure you tighten it very well.

I really like these, work as well as similar items costing twice as much.

I am a huge skeptic. When I got this I was amazed. When you loosen the red wing nut, which is made from aluminum, it loosens the ball sockets on the end as well. If you loosen it more, then you can pivot the elbow which has teeth so it is an incremental adjustment. This has the 1/4" male threads at each end. I am a pilot so one end will go into my smallrig clamp, while the other will accept a camera/video/GoPro/... (Make sure you check the depth of the threads so it doesn't bottom out in your camera and crack the camera case. Otherwise, this is strong enough to support my Lumix G85.I have bought other arms with much lesser quality. This is an outstanding product!

It’s OKAY. if you’re NOT a serious filmmaker using heavily then this will be fine. But I noticed that after only a few times of taking this on and off monitors/cameras the rubber pieces are falling off completely and I find them withering away easily. I also constantly have to tighten them and to do it I have to lock the position and tighten like a wrench and then loosen again to get back to the position it needs to be.I also found that the rubber connectors get stuck on the camera and monitors when I go to take the arm off. so I’ll have to twist the entire arm to unscrew it from the connector in order to get it off.
