Useful small magic arm, I use these for holding up small products and on occasion holding mics in place. Great to have lying around for those times when nothing else will do the job you need it for. They seem pretty sturdy and has a locking gear in the middle for extra strength.

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 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.

Great, infinitely adjustable, superb quality and at a good price..

A bit clunky, but it works.

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.

Bought this for a web streaming camera where I want to be able to reposition it quickly but have it hold solidly without over tightening. It's a very clever adjusting system which tightens the two arms (with a geared joint) and the two ball ends (friction-tension internally through the tubes) all at the same time under the one thumbscrew so it's really quick to set up either approximate or exacting camera positions. Brilliant if you want to just move it around adhoc. Grips well and can hold quite a weight if used with Small Rig's pipe clamp.

Mocne. Przyzwoicie trzyma. Przyzwoicie wykonane. Sprawdzilo się w użyciu.

Pour le prix, ce bras est vraiment très bien. Après une utilisation assez intensive, il a pris un peu de jeu au niveau de la tige, mais il reste tout à fait utilisable et continue de bien remplir son rôle. Bon rapport qualité-prix dans l’ensemble.

This is exactly what I ordered and wanted. Very good quality and very durable and aesthetic. Great choice if you're looking for this specification in a magic arm. I use in my car to hold my phone. Superb!

High quality.
