SMALLRIG9.8 inch Adjustable Articulating Magic Arm with Both 1/4" Thread Screw for LCD Monitor/LED Lights - 2066B

This is ideal for small lightweight lcd panels and the like. Locks down well. The only thing is the screw fixtures on the end, which might not suit everyone.If you get yourself a screw-on cold-shoe adapter (which are cheap), you could use a range of product which come with a cold-shoe fitting. I have some 2x2" Ulanzi lcds for example which work like this.I can confirm that you can even mount a full-size Godox speedlight onto a cold-shoe adapter with this arm. The arm is securely held although I did not try fitting and modifiers on the flash.I use mine on my camera cage and also with a super-clamp or crab-clamp. If you want more versatility you would have to spend a lot more on Manfrotto arm or similar.I think this is well worth the money. I spent a while checking reviews on generic arms here on Amazon and they don't get great reviews. I think this Smallrig arm is good quality and useful like any other Smallrig product I've bought.

Great little arm to be able to re-position my cameras fill light to one side when needing to remove shadows. made of good quality metal and holds my 1kg light with no issues. There is a good range of motion using the 2 tripod screws and the mid point geared teeth. Would recommend this for a budget arm if you need to have some flexibility with mounting lights or video monitors.

I've been using this (New) arm for my Ninja V, I record Wildlife mainly and needed a way to move the monitor at different angles depending on filming conditions. My biggest concern was that the monitor with battery would be too heavy and pull the arm out of position. After a morning testing it in the field it is rock solid, I was so impressed I've just ordered another one so I can have additional mounting options for Audio or maybe small video set ups.

I recently purchased the SMALLRIG 9.5" Magic Arm and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in my photography kit. The arm is made of high-quality aluminum and is very sturdy and durable, allowing me to securely mount my accessories, such as lights and microphones, to my camera or tripod.The arm is also very versatile and flexible, with 360-degree rotation and multiple adjustable joints, making it easy to position my accessories exactly where I need them. The locking mechanisms on the joints are tight and secure, ensuring that my accessories remain in place, even when moving around.In conclusion, the SMALLRIG 9.5" Magic Arm is a great investment for any photographer. Its solid construction, versatility, and ease of use make it a must-have for anyone looking to expand the capabilities of their shooting setup. Whether you're a professional or amateur, this arm is sure to enhance the quality and creativity of your photography.

These are very sturdy once screwed down tightly into place. I couldn't resist buying another three at this price because of how useful they are

These are a great idea but very badly manufactured. The ball ends were jammed because of swarf in the joint. Had to use WD40 and alot of force to free them off. Consequently damaging the ends. Dissapointed as they could be really good. To be fair I did by 4 of these and 2 were OK as it didn't need forcing to free them. The other two not so good.

I have several of the generic cheap "11 inch" magic arms that are sold under assorted names on Amazon, which are fine, though not capable of taking serious loads like their larger and much more costly brethren.This Smallrig branded 9.5" one was on offer for around fifteen pounds and I thought it looked like a step up in quality, and so it is. The metal wingnut to tighten it is way better than the plastic knobs on the cheaper ones, the ball joints lock out with much less tightening effort, and the general fit and finish is noticeably superior.The (removable) circular threaded plates at the ends have rubber 'o' rings to cushion what they are tightened against - this is a mixed blessing - if you want a good rigid fit against (say) a SuperClamp, you need to tighten them down quite hard, or replace with an uncushioned locknut.It's worth mentioning that this 9.5" arm is EXACTLY the same overall length as the cheap "11 inch" ones; their eleven inches include an inch and a half of spacer type adapter and hot-shoe things.Really can't fault this as the price I paid. If you do anything with microphones or GoPros or portable lights, you need a few of these. I've even used one in the past to rig up a little screen for someone stuck in a hospital bed...

I use multiple of these all the time to mount GoPros and lights virtually anywhere!
