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

The SMALLRIG Rosette Magic Arm has quickly become one of those essential tools I grab almost every shoot. It’s well-built, reliable enough to mount my cameras to, and incredibly versatile. Right out of the box, this feels like a quality piece of gear. The machining is well done and this thing is unmovable when tightened up. The 11-inch length is a perfect balance: long enough for creative positioning, short enough to stay compact on a camera or cage. The ball head gives smooth, precise adjustment, and the locking knobs are easy to tighten securely without over-torquing. I will admit, it took a little time to be able to use this arm efficiently, mostly because I'm a bit clumsy, but I would consider it best on market for price/quality. I’ve used this for mounting light panels, cameras and monitors and honestly, it works great for all of it. It’s become something I grab reflexively because it solves so many on-set mounting needs without fuss. Setup is quick, and adjustments are smooth. Bottom Line Totally worth it.

Much bigger than the other version of this arm. Super sturdy and works great for my application. The hawklock is a great invention. Hope to see more hawlock stuff in the future.

This is a great product. Very high quality and sturdy. It's a bit expensive but you get what you paid for. Please notice that it's not compatible with the Logitech MX Brio webcam because of the HawkLock pins. If you keep the pins in place, you won't have much to screw. If you remove the pins, the webcam will not be locked but move freely 360 degrees. I will return this item and go with the non-HawkLock version.

One tensioning knob loosens all the pivoting points, "very cool". Nice and sturdy.

So I initially bought this magic arm for the arri locating pins and because I was trying to mount my ninja ultra monitor in vertical mode on my gimbal. I had no clue that this thing was built like a tank and is designed by aerospace engineers. This is by far the best built and thought out magic articulating arm on the market and I'm willing to bet it's the only magic arm the knob when tightened locks itself in place and both ends all at once, I've never seen any magic articulating arm ever do that. The only complaint I have is the color I wish it was solid black but Hats off to smallrig for the design and build of this arm👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So far this has been a super sturdy arm, far superior to many other magic arms I have encountered. They are not a noga cine arm, they have some limitations in the precision of where they can be fully tightened. I suspect this is due to a small number of teeth on the rosette mechanism. But still, very very solid - easy to unlock and relock. The arri standard locating pins retract and the rubber pads are decently adhered but I suspect will eventually be destroyed and fall off with removing and tightening. Huge value for the money, but still not the quality of a proper Noga cine arm.

I got this to attach my split keyboard mouse and iPad macro controller to my chair. It works great for what I need, but honestly I wanna talk about how well thought out this thing is. The whole thing is adjusted with one knob, which by itself is pretty cool, but they went through the process of adding knurling to the ball heads and meshing teeth at the handle so that the thing does not even think about moving once tightened. The arms themselves are solid, and instead of just being tubes, they put some design work in to make them stronger where they need to be to sturdily support whatever you're attaching. I use them to hold an apple magic track pad for my right hand, and an old heavy iPad I've converted to use as a macro pad on my left and it doesn't bounce or flex while I'm using either. They point where it connects at the end has spring-loaded pins that help to keep the item from backing out by spinning, and there's even a hole you can use with an allen key or other tool to apply decent torque when tightening them down. If had one of my cameras on the end of this, I'd feel no anxiety about it staying there. I am not being paid to say any of this. I didn't get anything free, or any promotional discounts. I don't know anyone at this company. I paid full price, and would do it again, though I have the feeling this thing will be doing its job for my lifetime, and possibly some other's. I subscribe to the buy once; cry once philosophy for things I use more than once, essentially buy a quality lasting item, and spend some extra money, so you don't have to buy it again. It's not really a bank breaker, either, so it was an easy choice. If you can't tell I recommend this.

This was definitely a great pickup I have used this so many times on so many productions, what I like about this clamp versus most clamps is that it has the locking pins on the end so I can truthfully secure my device, but I also like the Rosette style locking system to make sure that my device won't slip out of place once I get it locked in.

Amazing product, perfect for my 20 lb load support ! I’d would recommend

En la línea de smallrig. Muy buena calidad de construcción y acabados. El que tenga una zapata de liberación rápida compatible con rail nato lo hace muy cómoda

Mam te urządzenia od niedawna. ale pierwsze wrażenie i próbne zastosowanie potwierdza sens zakupu. Muszę się z nimi dobrze zapoznać w praktycznym działaniu, ale już teraz wiem, że to dobry wybór. Jak zwykle u SmallRig-a urządzenia bardzo dobrze zaprojektowane i wykonane. Polecam z pełnym przekonaniem. Znakomicie współpracuje ze statywem video, monitorem i lampą LED.

Sólidos y de excelente calidad. Los uso también para fotografía y confío en este brazo suficiente para montarle mi Canon EOS R5 con un EF 28~300 mm f/3.5-5.6 L. Son 6 mil dólares de equipo y 2,500 gramos... así de bueno lo considero.

my favourite mount after nato , v good
