SMALLRIG Rosette Magic Arm 11 Inch with Ball Head, 1/4"-20 Screws, and Anti-twist Pins, for iPads/Monitors/LED lights/Smartphones/Action Cameras, Max Load Cpacity 3kg - 3959

Small rig knocked the ball outside the park with these. I bought the smaller one first and was immediately impressed.... So much so that I order this the larger version the same evening. My favourite essential accessories for my small rig camera rigs. Placing the monitors now is a breeze, the quality is exceptional and everything is rock steady..... Top marks Small rig.

It's so nice not having to worry about it becoming loose mid-use.This thing locks up nice and tight, and with the Anti-twist pins it stays rock solid.

By far the best magic arm I’ve owned so far! Very solid, without needing to wrench up the clamp too tight. Really it will hold an external monitor at finger tight

A good bit of kit for the price

Attachment end sheared off on the first use. Poor quality product sadly, the end blue piece with locating pins is a very lightweight material.

I use this to hold up my DSLR in the gym during competitions or training and it never ever sags or droops. Very strong and works well

Unfortunately my magic arm suffered a failure at the point on one of the ends where the neck of the ball joint is fixed to the tripod mount/thumbscrew.It turns out that this is only screwed and glued in place. Once the glue gives way this can then spin freely rendering the arm useless.It is a shame as it is otherwise well machined. I would advise caution if what you are mounting is not particularly balanced and could exert a rotational force on this magic arm as you will likely suffer a similar failure. The device I mounted weighed about 1.92 kg so was well within the Max Load limits.Product was returned for a refund. SmallRig customer care is excellent so let them know of any issues👌

I have many magic arms as I'm a photographer and I would say this is a step up from the regular black and red generic types for sure, both in build quality and also in locking ability, one small but nice touch is the holes in the locking rings which make it easy to tighten and untighten with my little screwdriver, I have no idea if they were intended for this but it sure does help, it's a handy arm for my field monitor and works well.
