I love the build quality, versatility, and reliability of the SmallRig items that I've bought over the last few years. I now own quite a few different clamps, arms, cages, adapters, etc., and they have all been excellent. This super clamp and Magic arm combination is no exception. I've bought this exact set several times, both together and separately, for a variety of uses. It's easy to position and once securely in place, I know it will not budge. I trust it with my most valued gear for exactly this reason.Despite what some reviews suggest, when tightened and mounted properly, this arm and super clamp combo absolutely can hold digital cameras with interchangeable lenses securely in place. This is true even when that gear is suspended in a top-down configuration for overhead photography. I use this Magic arm and clamp to hold a Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera above my illustration desk (see attached photo) for overhead photography, video, and live streaming. It works brilliantly, even with larger, heavier lenses. I have used this with a fairly heavy Nikon 105mm Micro D lens mounted to the EOS R via a Nikon-to-Canon lens adapter with zero issues. I also used two of the super clamps found in this set to mount two ring lights above my illustration desk and it holds them securely in place, although I purchased those as a set separately (also here on Amazon).This arm/clamp can also be used for other purposes than photography and video. I recently upgraded my pen tablet display monitor and affixed it to a VESA arm on the left side of my desk. The setup was great, but I quickly realized that I didn't have a good place to set up the remote that I use to trigger shortcut keys in most of the creative software I use. There was just no place to put it to the left of, or below, the display. I then got the idea to use this arm and clamp to mount my Huion Mini Keydial remote to my desk and place it in front of my pen tablet display. I used a large phone holder on a mini ball-head adapter, attached to the Magic arm to set up the remote in front of my display (see attached photo). I really liked this setup, but the initial position wasn't quite right for me. I later repositioned the arm (very easy to do) a little below the display and now it's perfect! I can rest my hand on the remote, trigger keys continuously, put a fair bit of weight on the remote, and it does not budge! Brilliant.I really like gadgets that serve a lot of different purposes and this set does just that. I will likely pick up a few more of them to use for other purposes, such as repositioning my boom mic and extending the reach of the desk-mounted arm that it's currently attached to, and using one to attach the mic to a tripod while shooting photos or filming video on location. I really don't think I could have too many of these on hand. There's always some unexpected problem that these things can solve. I love them!

Awesome clamp for camera setup! This clamp is perfect for my camera rig. it’s easy to use and super sturdy. It lets me capture angles I couldn’t get before and really adds a whole new perspective to my videos. Definitely a must-have for creators!

The media could not be loaded. Bought this SmallRig magic arm specifically to create a custom phone filming setup for desktop recording. I mounted a magnetic pad to the end, and it’s been excellent for positioning my phone at different angles while shooting overhead content. The articulation joints hold firm under phone weight, and the aluminum construction feels premium and durable. Clamp grips my desk edge securely without slipping. The threading options made attachment easy. Only minor issue is initial stiffness requiring break-in time. Overall, this has significantly improved my content creation workflow and versatility.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A fantastically configurable armature for cameras, lights, anything. I think I now own 6 of these that I used for an overhead filming frame. I use them to hold light configurations, cameras, and a small display for monitoring. Ingenious little design that allows you to position the end is all 6 degrees of freedom. Just loosen the center knob, move it to a new position, snug it down...starting filming.

Perfect rig set up for a small extra monitor. Easy to use and position. Locks down tight.

Great for using on set. I also have used it on lighter lights, combined with the small rig clamp to hide lights in small places. I also use it on my RED cameras to hold up monitors and camera accessories. Super versatile and I always find myself buying more. It's all metal and super well built. If you tighten it well, it should stay in place.

Never seen such thing before. First time using a magic arm. It’s more interesting how it works, and it does its thing very well
